Product details

Bright + even

A vitamin C complex with glutathione in a light face-and-eye cream for dull skin and dark spots.

Arencia leads with a stable vitamin C derivative, backed by three more forms of vitamin C, to fade the look of dark spots and uneven tone. Glutathione and vitamin E add antioxidant care, niacinamide refines pores and texture, and panthenol and allantoin keep it gentle.

Good to know

  • Arencia suggests starting slowly and adjusting as needed. Patch test first if your skin is sensitive.
  • Avoid combining it with strong actives. Arencia suggests vitamin C in the morning and retinal at night.
  • Wear sunscreen during the day while using it.
  • The packaging has been updated; the formula is unchanged.
