Ciarathinks of her body as a luxury sports car rightly so.

(I don’t know; I’m not a car person.)
as she tells me over Zoom.
“I want for this engine to run smoothly.

I want to live the healthiest, full-rounded life that I can possibly live.”
Needless to say,Ciaraseeks out premium fuel wherever she can, including clinical skin-care products.
“This was one of them.”
Out of curiosity, I ask her what else is on that list.
“But it all goes to the power of believing in yourself.
I always say I’m a woman of ambition on a mission.”
Back in the early 2000s,Ciaradidn’t put much thought into what she slathered onto her face.
She would reach for whatever “soap” or “lotion” she had around, she admits.
The duo has been working together since Ciara was 16.
“She’s the epitome of what beauty looks like and how you take care of yourself.”
“But that’s not real.
“I would say this is truly a missing piece in skin care today,” Ciara says.
It helps to correct.
It helps to prevent,” Ciara explains.
“You need that vitamin C to give you that glowing skin that we’re always looking for.”
And as thisAllure ingredientexplainerdetails, Ciara is completely right about that.
As a result, it plumps, firms, and smooths skin all at once.
Vitamin C is so versatile that it also contains a property that prevents and diminishesdark spots and hyperpigmentation.
For those unfamiliar,this ingredienthas collagen-boosting benefits to amplify all that vitamin Cs' line-smoothing, skin-firming powers.
In the past, Ciara says she found herself trying to buy products and feeling incredibly overwhelmed.
She wasn’t sure what to start and end with.
To cut out that guessing game, each of OAM’s products is numbered.
Here’s a rundown on the lineup.
1: Wash with a nondrying cleanser.
This ultra-creamy foaming cleanser is not only Ciara’s personal favorite product in the line but also mine.
“This washes the makeup off really well.”
2: Prep with vitamin-C pads.
Consider this OAM’s toner step for both your morning and nighttime routines.
They help take off dead skin cellschemicallyvia the Tri-C Pro-Peptide Complexplus retinol.
However, anti-inflammatorygreen teakeeps any flakiness or redness at bay.
3: Rejuvenate with a serum.
Spoken like a true mother, Ciara compares this addition to OAM’s Vitamin C line tobreast milk.
Both are liquid gold, she says.
Both Jihan and I noticed the serum has a similar texture to a dry oil.
“It’s very runny, but it does absorb quickly,” Jihan says.
She also points out that it layers well under moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup.
Typically, I don’t use eye cream because it always ends up irritating my eyeballs.
The Eye Revitalizer’s lightweight creaminess is making me a believer.
Both Sarah and I love how hydrating and quick-absorbing it is.
“I felt like my dry undereyes slurped it up and looked more awake,” Sarah says.
Personally, I can’t wait to use it this winter when my eyes really start getting dry.
“The Vitamin C Eye Revitalizer also helps with thedark circles,” Ciara notes.
4: Moisturize your skin.
“And then, you have to close out with the moisturizer,” Ciara says.
“That’s important.
You got to add that layer of moisture that keeps the skin, again, protected and moisturized.”
This moisturizer, in particular, dispenses with a pump, which is an element Sarah admires about it.
Sarah also notes that her skinlovesthis formula.
“It leaves skin with that deeply-moisturizing feel and made my complexion noticeably glowy,” Jihan adds.
Many of the products are spiked with retinol, which can make your skin sensitized with sun exposure.
Phew, that was a lot of info.
I’m sure you’re ready to get all thesegoodieson your skin.
