A daily brightening serum formulated with 1% glycolic acid, niacinamide, and a vitamin C derivative to gently resurface and even out skin tone. It’s a balanced approach to exfoliation that focuses on radiance without the intensity of a high-percentage peel, making it a solid entry point if you're new to direct acids.
