Your products

Hydra Catalyst

Apply 1 to 2 pumps to freshly cleansed, damp skin, pressing gently into the face and neck. Allow to absorb before following with a Catalyst serum or hydrator.

When using alongside active serums, apply Hydra Catalyst first to create a hydration buffer between the skin and the active ingredients.

Radiance Catalyst

Apply 2 to 4 pumps to freshly cleansed skin each morning, pressing gently into the face and neck. Allow to absorb fully before following with a hydrator and SPF.

If you are new to Vitamin C or to active concentrations at this level, begin with 2 pumps once daily and increase gradually as your skin adjusts. A mild tingling on first use is normal and typically resolves within the first week.
