my favorite serum
I wear this every morning, combined with the Sunday Riley C.E.O. face oil. It has a great citrus scent. I feel that it has contributed to lightening my dark spots and giving me a brighter complexion.

Extremely versatile as you can control strength depending on what your skin feels like that day. Mixes well with the Ordinary’s resveratrol+ferulic acid serum. Also mixes well with CeraVe lotion for more soothing application.
