Despite the fact that my bathroom vanity is packed with products, I actually prefer a streamlined beauty routine. On weekends, I’m happy to lounge in my cozy robe and spend a leisurely hour (or two) reviving my nails, skin and hair with a myriad of beauty potions. But during the week, I look for multitasking products that can tackle my dry, aging skin in as few steps as possible. And that’s why the IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Repair Crème has earned a spot in my nightly rotation.
What It Is
VITAL C Hydrating Repair Crème is one of the brand’s best-selling moisturizers for a reason. In addition to drenching skin in hydration, the vitamin-packed formula also helps to revitalize skin tone and texture. It’s great if you tend to shy away from intense moisturizing creams, which can often feel heavy on the skin. This one has a deliciously creamy formula that is lightweight. I also love that it dries with a velvety texture and is not greasy at all. And while IMAGE Skincare does not use any artificial fragrances or synthetic dyes, this cream boasts a soft-citrus scent courtesy of natural ingredients.
If you are looking for a deeply hydrating formula that dries with a beautiful finish, you’re going to love this. Plus, the addition of vitamins to gently brighten and refine the skin makes this a perfect all-in-one nighttime treatment.
Key Ingredients
If you’re dealing with dryness or sensitivity, this cream packs an ultra-hydrating combination of ceramides and hyaluronic acid to soothe and quench even the thirstiest skin. Antioxidant superstars like vitamin C and vitamin A work to protect the skin from free radicals. They also help gently refine uneven skin tone and texture.
How to Use It
Like many other creams, this one is meant to be used as the last step in your evening routine. Apply it after cleansing, toning and serums. Use the included wand to scoop out a small amount, and then warm between your fingers. We suggest using it on your face, neck and décolleté to maximize the skin-brightening and hydration benefits.
