Every day, our skin is in defense mode against the elements, like harmful UV rays and microscopic pollutants. Without the right skin-care actives, these environmental aggressors can turn skin dull, sallow-like and dehydrated. Unfortunately, when our skin plays defense all day long, it may not fully absorb the rejuvenating ingredients in our products. That’s where vitamin C can help. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant universally celebrated for its ability to neutralize environment-induced free radical damage. While most vitamin C products are recommended for daytime use, did you know that they can be just as effective at night, working on offense while you sleep to keep your skin looking its best?
Meet Dermalogica’s Biolumin-C Night Restore
Today, Dermalogica debuts the Biolumin-C Night Restore Serum ($98). This formula combines ultra-stable vitamin C and a pro-vitamin D complex to help restore radiance, hydration and tone overnight when skin is in its natural regenerative phase. By tapping into the skin’s reparative mode with actives like vitamin C, vitamin D, glycerin, jojoba esters, prickly pear and green microalgae, BioLumin-C Night Restore Serum energizes skin to fight future oxidative stress and provides long-lasting brightness and hydration.
Let’s break down Biolumin-C Night Restore Serum’s formula a bit further. Vitamin C is the hero here, neutralizing free radicals, helping repair damaged cells and brightening skin while improving collagen production, skin elasticity and signs of photoaging from sun damage (like hyperpigmentation). Vitamin D plays an important role in helping ward off inflammation and neutralize environmental stressors that can cause premature aging. Next, glycerin and jojoba ester plump and hydrate. Finally, prickly pea and green microalgae soothe skin and reduce irritation. To put it plainly, this serum redefines the term “beauty sleep.”
Use Biolumin-C Night Restore alone or with Dermalogica’s Biolumin-C Serum ($96), its brand’s best-selling daytime vitamin C serum. The two work harmoniously to defend skin during the day, restore it at night and keep complexions healthy and glowing at all hours. If dark spots and hyperpigmentation are your main concerns, we recommend using Dermalogica’s Powerbright Dark Spot Peel ($79) right before Biolumin-C Night Restore Serum. Shoppers rave this at-home peel “visibly lifts” away dark spots thanks to a formula of AHAs, PHAs, tranexamic acid and niacinamide. With this dynamic trio, your skin will stay defended, restored, and glowing around the clock.
