How we score →Yay
4 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
Two complementary vitamin C forms, an oil-soluble one for penetration and a stable derivative that converts to active vitamin C, anchor this serum, which also features ferulic acid, ectoin for barrier protection, and sunflower shoot extract as an NAD+ booster. The NAD+ claim outpaces current research on topical penetration, though. Experts say it's worth it if you can access it.
