Active Hydration is a bestseller because it helps skin go from dull to healthy-looking and radiant while being supremely gentle.

This light, fast-absorbing liquid leads with a powerful dose of antioxidant vitamin C and other antioxidants to brighten and prevent hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage or breakouts, as well as ward off DNA-damaging free radicals that cause visible signs of premature aging. It also provides serious hydration to help skin feel more plump, firm and supple.

Because we use a gentle, stabilized form of Vitamin C, you won’t experience the sensitivity or redness that other C serums may cause. It’s also packed with Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) and Amino Acids to truly nourish skin. Get ready to show off a more luminous complexion and notice your inner glow shining through.

How to use

We recommend first misting clean skin with Healing Water Toning Mist. Then, use fingertips to smooth a small amount of serum onto the skin. Follow with Precious Oils Active Infusion.

The product is great. I love that it’s environmentally friendly and my skin is happy too. But it is nothing too special considering the price.

Lighter Oil - Great for Daily Use

I have tried at least 10 different facial oils from a variety of luxury brands and this one is the one I keep reaching for. I find that only 5 drops gives me a full face of moisture that doesn’t sit on top of the skin but soaks in quickly. Instead of needing layers of moisture and hydration, this oil leaves my skin feeling plump and healthy.

Chefs Kiss!

I received my order quickly and it was perfect. I am now enjoying all the yummy items. The tinted spf stick was an impulse try-buy, and it might be my fav of the bunch! The medium tint is a perfect match skin, coverage is great, and a dynamite size for on the go touch ups!
