To be effective, your moisturizer needs ingredients that your skin recognizes and more importantly, the ingredients need to know where to go. This "moisturizer of all moisturizers" combines skin-conversant ingredients with a lipid-based, smart delivery system to absorb without irritation. Most traditional moisturizers are designed to simply trap moisture at the surface of skin and superficially moisturize it. Topical C on the other hand moisturizes skin and delivers vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) and natural barrier protective nutrients to where your skin needs them the most.
