I am an esthetician and over ordered this serum. ITS BRAND NEW. This botanically-enhanced serum is packed with natural brighteners to help reduce the appearance of dark spots. Targeted, plant-based brightening ingredients work to promote more even-toned skin. Vitamin C and bearberry leaf extract diminish dullness and boost radiance. Part of the award-winning* ILUMA collection, this skin brightening serum meets our clean clinical skincare™ standard and is formulated without parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, artificial fragrances, synthetic dyes or animal testing.
