A vitamin C serum for radiance, visible wrinkles and dark spots
Vitamin Activ Cg Radiance Corrector Serum (also sold as Radiance Concentrated Serum) is the serum of Avène's Vitamin Activ Cg range, made for adults whose skin looks dull and shows visible signs of ageing such as wrinkles and dark spots. It gives an instant glow, evens out skin tone and visibly smooths the skin. It comes in a 30ml glass pipette bottle, is tested on sensitive skin and contains 94% ingredients of natural origin, with no ingredients of animal origin.
Three actives in one serum
The formula pairs 1.8% Vitamin Cg — ascorbyl glucoside, a highly stable form of vitamin C whose antioxidant action is equivalent to 20% vitamin C in an ex-vivo study of the finished product — with 3% niacinamide, which revitalises the skin and reduces the appearance of dark spots, and 1.5% bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative to retinol that reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Avène Thermal Spring Water is the first ingredient. The serum absorbs quickly, leaves a non-sticky, non-greasy finish and sits well under make-up. Lightly fragranced. Made in France.
