Hyaluronic acid binds moisture to the skin, boosting hydration while minimizing fine lines and other signs of aging.

Panthenol softens and soothes irritation and inflammation for smooth, calm skin.

Amino acids promote skin elasticity to reduce the visible signs of aging and support skin’s firmness.

Love the serum all day every day

My skin can be very dry and discoloration and dullness are how my skin is starting to show aging. I love this serum - it glides on silky smooth and my skin drinks it right in. My skin is baby soft after using it the first time and after using it twice a day for less than. Week my skin was noticeably brighter. More even tone. Just looked way younger and plumper. I love it. Especially with summer and hours in salty water some days this is a great way to give my skin some extra TLC

Freshly obsessed

I’ve been using activist for about 6 months and I don’t think I’ll ever go back!!! I originally came for the zero waste packaging but quickly found that nothing was compromised in the making. With whole and natural ingredients as a part of my everyday routine, my skin has never looked clearer!! I am in love with this company and their products I own everything in the line!!
