The Ingredient That Helps My Skin Survive NYC Winters
This post is sponsored by Vitabrid C¹²
Skincare is a huge part of my daily routine and in many ways, I don’t feel complete until I’ve done something good for my skin. Taking care of my skin is a necessity before I head out for the day just like coffee, mascara, and a good podcast. Because of the nature of my job, I’m able to test out a lot of brands (and I mean a lot) and it’s easy to tell when a brand will work its way into my daily rotation of products.
I’m excited to be partnering with Vitabrid C¹² to share some of the newest additions to my skincare routine with you all that I’ve been able to test out over the last several weeks. Vitabrid C¹² is a Korean skincare brand that is launching in the United States and its mission is to unite beauty and science through their high-quality skincare products.
I actually first learned about the brand when I saw they were in the Allure’s January Beauty Box and I was so excited to try some of the products myself. As you might already know, the ingredient vitamin C has many benefits like brightening, firming, and even collagen synthesis. The catch? It’s also a notoriously unstable ingredient, which means it’s actually kind of hard to get it right and take advantage of all of these benefits.
Vitabrid C¹² products deliver active, stabilized vitamin C to your skin for over 12 hours, a feat made possible by their patented technology. I’ve spent the past few weeks testing out the Daily-C Balancing Cleansing Balm and the Eye & Face Cream Cream, but my favorite product is the Dual Drop Serum that delivers a natural glow and helps brighten and hydrate skin. Dual Drop Serum is formulated with an innovative blend of Vitabrid CG and Peptibrid to synergistically help reduce signs of aging, brighten the skin, and provide deep hydration to improve dryness and overall skin complexion.
As someone with dry skin who's always looking for ways to keep my skin healthy and hydrated especially in the winter, the Dual Drop Serum helps my skin stay vibrant and firm even on the driest winter days. Applying this serum in the morning feels like I’m giving my skin another layer of armor to protect it against the elements and it gives me that instant healthy skin look before I even apply my makeup. Want to try the serum for yourself this month? It’s usually priced at $62 (because high-quality vitamin C ain’t cheap!) but you can use the code ALLURE20 at checkout to try it for $9.90 now through March 31, 2020.
Have you tried any vitamin C products that you love? Let me know in the comments if this is an ingredient that plays a major role in your skincare routine.
yours,
Austen
