Over the years I’ve learned that vitamin C is a critical step in any well-developed skin-care routine, but that doesn’t mean I’ve had an easy time adding it into my own regimen. I’ve tried out lotions that have left me with a greasy sheen, used products that have made me break out, and I’ve even tested expensive serums that smell like hot dog water (yes, really). Up until recently, I had mostly accepted that I would be using a vitamin C product that I liked but didn’t love, for the rest of my life. However, Laneige may have just dropped a product that fixes all of that.
You may be familiar with the Laneige for its extremely popular and effective Lip Sleeping Mask, but don’t “sleep” on their latest and greatest release, a vitamin C moisturizer they’ve dubbed the Radian-C Cream ($35). Radian-C’s ingredients most definitely pack a punch; the product is formulated with 8.5 percent vitamin C derivatives (to address dullness caused by dark spots), vitamin E (to moisturize), and Melasolv (to brighten).
