Seven formulations to get one serum right
Hylunia went through seven formulations to arrive at this serum. The result brings vitamin C, peptides and three forms of retinoid-type care together in a single evening step.
Three stable forms of vitamin C were chosen so the serum brightens without losing potency in the bottle.
Smoother-looking lines, firmer-looking skin, a brighter tone
