1 / 4Vitamin Tree Water Gel
A light, water-gel moisturizer built around sea buckthorn (the Korean "vitamin tree") and a generous dose of niacinamide, made to hydrate and even out tone without any heaviness. It goes on cool, sinks in fast, and leaves skin feeling fresh rather than slick. A good match for oily and combination skin that wants moisture and a little glow without a rich cream.
More detail
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) extract carries vitamins and antioxidants, while niacinamide, which sits high on the ingredient list, helps brighten, even out tone, and support the barrier; hyaluronic acid, panthenol, beta-glucan, and ceramide NP round it out for hydration and comfort. The texture is a true water-gel: lightweight, faintly cooling, and quick to absorb with no sticky or greasy finish. Use it as your moisturizer step morning and night, after cleansing and any serums, patting a thin layer in; you can also apply a thicker layer overnight as a sleeping mask. It is fragrance-free and alcohol-free, which helps for skin that reacts to scent. Because it is a gel rather than a rich cream, very dry skin may want a heavier moisturizer over it in cold weather, and as with any niacinamide product it is worth patch-testing if your skin is easily irritated.
