Ingredient Superstars:
- Glycolic Acid -- Glycolic Acid, a member of the AHA's (Alpha Hydroxy Acids), instantly brightens your complexion by exfoliating skin using natural chemistry which transforms your outer dead skin cell layer to provide a radiant luster. Unlike other products, a Glycolic Acid moisturizer is not washed off the face, so your skin is able to drink in the benefits of the glycolic acid all day and/or night long! Glycolic Acid also acts as a powerful skin lightener to combat irregular skin pigment, lighten melasma and diminish the appearance of age spots. The ability to remove the top layer of skin to reveal fresh skin underneath means that Glycolic Acid products can also make your skin more vulnerable to the sun. You should, therefore, use sunscreen in conjunction with this, or any product that contains Glycolic Acid.
- Pyrus Malus (Apple Extract) -- This acidic, vitamin-rich fruit extract helps promote natural cell exfoliation and encourages a healthy rate of skin cell replacement which may help improve acne and psoriasis symptoms. The extract also inhibits elastase, an enzyme which breaks down elastin and collagen helping maintain smooth, youthful skin.
- Allantoin -- Originally derived from the Comfrey Plant, which is known to have moisturizing effects as well as properties that help create smooth, healthy skin. Not only does Allantoin help skin lock in moisture, but it also encourages skin to shed dead cells and grow new ones, promoting healthy cell development and preventing dull, sallow skin. If you have sensitive, dry, or scaly skin, using products that contain Allantoin may benefit it by moisturizing, protecting, and healing all at the same time without causing any adverse effects.

I got this in my GWYG bag last summer and am just getting around to using it. The moisturizer is great, not too greasy and absorbs really well. The scent is clean but a little too much… bergamot(?) for me.
I like the way this feels. It has a nice, light texture and isn't greasy. The fragrance is very crisp & clean. It is a little strongly scented at first but eventually dissipates.
