Product details

A tube of Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum beside a sprig of orange sea buckthorn berries

Brighten + hydrate

Niacinamide, squalane and sea buckthorn in a light milky serum for dark spots and an all-day glow.

This serum pairs niacinamide, which helps correct dark spots and brighten, with plant-derived squalane that locks in moisture. The texture is lightweight and non-sticky, and it’s gentle enough to use every day.
