Skincare Saviors: A Vitamin C Powerhouse and a Barrier-Boosting Moisturizer

Featured, are two multitasking moisturizers—a next-gen Vitamin C reviver, and a skin-barrier hydrator and protector that’s especially kind to sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.

Product Spotlight #1: Pump-up the Vitamin C & Hydration

HYDRI-C Daily Vitamin C Moisturizer makes it easy for me to apply Vitamin C  plus hydrating moisture, before applying my sunscreen. Hydrinity’s lightweight moisturizer goes on smoothly and never pills or flakes. I prefer using this moisturizer over using a Vitamin C serum with a dropper because it’s not messy and is easier to apply.  Supercharged with active ingredients, HYDRI-C has produced the fastest visible results of any Vitamin C skincare product I have used. I also love that it treats my skin gently and does not contain petroleum, parabens, dyes, perfumes, or fragrance.

Product Spotlight #2: The Barrier-Boosting Moisturizer

Is your skin barrier damaged from using harsh skincare products, too many exfoliators, or other factors such as exposure to extreme temperatures? Is your skin sensitive or red and irritated? Codex Labs to the rescue! Antü Skin Barrier Daytime Defense Moisturizer utilizes hyaluronic acid, Vitamin A, and M3 antioxidants to nourish and moisturize irritation, redness, and sun damaged or dull skin.

Codex Labs claims that its skin barrier defense moisturizer “hydrates by 11%” and “reduces the appearance of pores in just one month.” My rosacea-prone skin has responded very well to this moisturizer. I can see the difference it has made in keeping irritation and redness at bay and my skin feels soft and super-hydrated.
