Strengths

  • + The strongest disclosed brightening pairing in a moisturizer on this list
  • + Fragrance-free, in a light cream that layers well morning and night
  • + Ceramide NP with cholesterol in support

Worth knowing

  • - Small 35 mL size at a mid-tier price per mL ($0.55/mL) — it won't last long as a twice-daily cream
  • - No published test of the finished product — the case rests on the disclosed ingredient amounts
  • - The shea butter and macadamia oil base may feel rich if your skin is very oily
  • - The extra ceramides beyond Ceramide NP arrive in a premix at unknown amounts — supporting only
