The tell-tale signs of the beloved brightening ingredient aren’t there.

The concentrated serum doesn’t smell, have an unpleasant shade of orange, or feel annoyingly sticky.
Instead, the Sight C-er Vitamin C Concentrate looks and smooths on with the same pleasant creaminess as lotion.
It’s like a magical moisturizing, illuminating, healing, plumping elixir.
Until Wander Beauty’s came along, I never knew I need a creamyvitamin C serumin my skin-care routine.
Founders always say that about their new products.
However, once I had Sight C-er in my possession, I can officially back Gugnani’s statement.
Most of all, she focused on its rich, luxe texture.
“I needed the cushion,” Gugnani tellsAllure.
And she was able to make that happen.
Sight C-er feels more like a light lotion than a serum.
Also, as Gugnani points out, it doesn’t pill up under makeup.
“People can use this ingredient to help build a tolerance to the use of ascorbic acid.”
The medley of the latter “can be a penetration enhancer,” Liu says.
“Together,with glycerin, [they] are great humectants that can add hydration to skin.”
They also reduce skin irritation, Lam-Phaure adds.
Best of all, all of this goodness is poured into an opaque, pump-topped, recyclable plastic bottle.
“Pure skin-care formulations that have potent and efficacious ingredients should not be exposed to sunlight.
Period, the end,” Gugnani adds.
