Dermatologists recommend incorporating vitamin C into your daily skincare routine, and Nécessaire is taking it a step further by introducing The Body Vitamin C treatment. This new launch has quickly become a favorite of mine, and here’s why.
The Benefits of This Body Serum
The star ingredient in this formula is vitamin C, specifically a 2.5-percent concentration of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (THD ascorbate). Known for its stability and effectiveness, THD ascorbate, in combination with tranexamic acid, helps brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots. In a clinical study, 67 percent of participants reported visible improvements in their skin after using the serum for four weeks.
The lightweight gel-cream texture of the serum absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed. While the formula is vegan and fragrance-free, it is recommended to layer your body lotion on top if you have dry skin.
Key Ingredients
Vitamin C (THD ascorbate), vitamin E, enzymes, tranexamic acid, terracotta, and niacinamide
How to Use It
Apply the serum daily or as needed from the neck down on clean skin. For best results, pair it with The Body Wash Olibanum. In drier climates, layer the serum with a traditional body lotion or cream. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen for added protection.
