Derma Care Ultra Light Brightening Vitamin Gel Lotion
Moisturizer

A highly unique, ultra-lightweight gel lotion that bridges the gap between a body lotion and a facial moisturizer. By combining a staggering 27-ingredient matrix including Niacinamide, Ceramides, and various botanical extracts, it hydrates deeply without heavy stickiness. However, the inclusion of Ethanol (drying alcohol) alongside Lavender and Rosemary essential oils makes it a significant risk for hyper-reactive or clinically sensitive skin maps despite its Derma Care labeling.
