Please Note: Modern Wisdom is packaged to protect the stability and potency of its air- and light-sensitive ingredients. Any discoloration over time is natural and does not affect product performance.

Apply to clean skin morning and evening. In the morning, follow with a moisturizer containing broad- spectrum SPF to protect your skin throughout the day. At night, finish with our Sleep with Me Nighttime Resurfacing Cream to deeply hydrate and support overnight renewal.

Bakuchiol: A plant extract with similar benefits as retinol but without the side effects. Helps increase cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, firms skin, and diminishes fine lines, wrinkles, and overall photo damage/dark spots.

Vitamin C Ester: Restores skin’s radiance and corrects uneven skin tone. With regular use, skin is clearer, brighter, more even-toned, stronger and more resilient. Gentle, non-irritating, and non-drying.

Niacinamide: An effective form of Vitamin B-3 that helps minimize enlarged pores, improves uneven skin tone, softens fine lines and diminishes dullness.

Powerful Peptide Blend: Helps skin create collagen, as well as prevent collagen breakdown.

Hyaluronic Acid: Helps plump skin with natural hydration and achieve a naturally dewy and glowy look.

Green Tea: An antioxidant high in polyphenols that helps protect skin from environmental aggressors.

Nothing to write home about.

I got this for my wife. She had commented on another brand of this type of product one day. I figured I would surprise her with it. She tried it for a couple of weeks but didn't notice any significant changes. She said her skin was a little softer and felt moisturized. Maybe other skin types will have a better turnout.
