Vita-C Bright Moisturizer
Moisturizer

A multifaceted brightening gel-cream that targets dullness and mild breakouts simultaneously. It combines stable Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Glucoside), Mandelic Acid, and Niacinamide to gently lift hyperpigmentation without massive irritation. The inclusion of Tea Tree Oil and trace Salicylic Acid keeps the pores clear, while the silicone matrix (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone) provides a smooth, breathable finish. It is highly versatile but does contain synthetic fragrance.

Prebiotic Hydra Plus Jelly Moisturiser
Moisturizer

A ultra-modern humectant powerhouse that delivers weightless water arrays. By combining a 10-tier Hyaluronic Acid complex with an exhaustive fermentation stack (including Galactomyces, Lactobacillus, and Kombucha ferments), it acts as a topical postbiotic shield. The absolute absence of volatile oils and heavy occlusive waxes creates a bouncy bouncy jelly matrix that plunges water into the stratum corneum without suffocating pores under afternoon tropical grease cascades.

What sets it apart is the massive inclusion of Cica extracts (Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid) and Vitamin C to completely suppress the redness and prevent the pimple from leaving a dark brown scar smoothly.
