Ceramide – Forms a thin lipid barrier that holds in moisture, while protecting & nourishing the skin. Gently massage into the skin to ensure actives fully penetrate. Can be worn over the Vitamin C Serum, Vitamin A Serum, or AHA Exfoliating Peel. Is this too much for oily or acne-prone skin? For oily skin or acne-prone skin, the Vitamin C Serum is a better option for getting your daily vitamin C. What does this product smell like? This product has a small amount of essential oil, approximately 0.02%, in it to sweeten the underlying smell of the many actives. During our testing participants overwhelmingly preferred the product with a small amount of EO to the un-fragranced version. Essential oils tend to dissipate with time, so fresher product will have a little more prevalent scent than batches made a little further out. Do you worry about oxidation? The forms of vitamin C we use are much more stable than traditional ascorbic acid. Our products all contain clean, safe, natural preservatives to ensure stability. Can this be worn over the AHA Exfoliating Peel? If using the AHA Exfoliating Peel and the Triple C Night Cream, we recommend waiting 10 minutes between application to let the AHAs work their magic! Can this be used with the Face Cream? If also using Mad Hippie Face Cream, we would rotate night to night, or use Face Cream during the day & Triple C Night Cream at night, for example. Each product has very distinct actives that will bring benefits to the skin. Can this be used with the Eye Cream? Yes, if you have very dry skin you could layer this over the Eye Cream. For some it might be too much moisture though, and for those folks, we'd recommend staggering the two products from night to night. Can product be worn during the day? Sure! The Triple C Night Cream is great day or night - really whenever extra hydration is needed! Could this replace my morning Vitamin C Serum? Great question! The Vitamin C Serum contains a distinct form of vitamin C that is wonderful for acne-prone skin as well as for reducing the appearance of discoloration! The Triple C Night Cream is a deeply hydrating cream with three different forms of vitamin C and is best suited to drier skin types that need extra hydration. The Vitamin C Serum can be used in the morning and the Triple C Night Cream can be used at night or the Triple C Night Cream can layered over the Vitamin C Serum if desired. Is your shea butter free trade? Yes! Is shea butter comedogenic? While shea butter is ultra hydrating, it is not traditionally considered to be comedogenic and gets a 0 on most comedogenic scales.
