Face Serums 101: What You Need to Know

Our Serums + When to Use Them

CC Me Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum contains two kinds of Vitamin C to double the serum’s antioxidant protection and brightening power. This powerhouse serum works to brighten, refine skin texture, protect the skin's moisture barrier, and helps diminish any dark spots. Our potent formula contains a signature Peptide Complex which helps promote youthful-looking skin and gives you an instant glow. Vitamin C is one of the most trusted antioxidants in skincare, recommended by dermatologists and estheticians alike as an integral part of your routine. 

When to Use CC Me: Use Vitamin C in your morning skincare routine for an instant glow. Plus, Vitamin C and sunscreen are the perfect pair to protect your skin from the sun. Sunscreen is your first line of defense, blocking UV rays from penetrating into the skin.

Midnight Ritual Retinol Renewal Serum is the newest addition to our serum lineup. Powered by two forms of retinoids— retinol and retinyl linoleate—this gentle yet effective vegan formula can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve discoloration, and renew and restore the skin's appearance when used regularly. It is also enriched with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and a blend of oatmeal and tiger grass, that works to calm and soothe the skin, making it the perfect addition to your PM skincare routine.

When to Use Midnight Ritual Retinol: As the product’s name suggests, this is a serum recommended for nighttime use. Retinol works with the skin’s natural regeneration cycle while you sleep to help resurface the texture of your skin leaving you with a more even skin tone and brighter complexion. Because Retinol is a potent ingredient, start off with a patch test behind your ear or on the inside of your wrist to ensure your skin doesn’t experience any irritation. If you are new to Retinol Serums, start incorporating it into your evening routine 1-2 times per week, working your way to daily use as tolerated.
