the brighten + repair set: repair serum + depuffing eye cream + lipid gel moisturizer

a set of staples for daytime brightening and repair. a serum rich in antioxidants to repair uv damage and boost collagen, a rich eye cream to depuff tired eyes, and a lipid-rich gel cream moisturizer that isn't sticky or greasy.

active ingredients:

serum - vitamin c (15%), vitamin e (1%), ferulic acid (0.5%)

eye cream - coffee bean extract, green tea extract, hyaluronic acid, squalane

moisturizer - hyaluronic acid, squalane, jojoba oil, apricot kernel oil

research:

serum: topical vitamin c improves sun-damaged skin, reduces wrinkles, and increases collagen production [Fitzpatrick 2002] [Humbert 2003] [Nusgens 2001]. these exact concentrations — 15% vitamin c, 1% vitamin e, 0.5% ferulic acid — protected human skin against uv damage, adding to spf rather than replacing it [Murray 2008].

eye cream: hyaluronic acid hydrates: in a 60-day placebo-controlled trial, hyaluronic acid cream improved hydration and elasticity of the skin around the eyes [Pavicic 2011]. coffee bean and green tea extracts contain caffeine, which constricts blood vessels and reduces fluid retention — the mechanism behind depuffing [Hamie 2024].

moisturizer: hyaluronic acid hydrates: in a 60-day placebo-controlled trial, hyaluronic acid cream improved skin hydration and elasticity, and low-molecular-weight versions also reduced wrinkle depth [Pavicic 2011]. squalane is the stable form of squalene, about 13% of the oil your skin already makes [Kim 2012]; with jojoba and apricot kernel oil it forms a light lipid layer that slows water loss, which is how moisturizers keep skin hydrated between applications [Lodén 2005].
