Korres Apothecary Wild Rose Day-Brightening Gel-Cream is a 40ml daily face moisturiser formulated with stabilised vitamin C and wild rose oil to help brighten the complexion and support hydration. It has a lightweight, whipped gel-cream texture designed to absorb quickly, making it easy to apply each morning after cleansing and serum.

Key Features

• Stabilised, oil-soluble vitamin C: Contains ascorbyl palmitate and ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, stable forms of vitamin C included to help brighten the look of the complexion.
• Wild rose oil and extract: Formulated with Rosa Canina (wild rose) fruit oil and fruit extract, the botanical at the centre of Korres' Apothecary Wild Rose range.
• Hyaluronic acid for hydration: Contains hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate and sodium hyaluronate, included to support the product's 24-hour hydration.
• 24-hour, fast-absorbing texture: The whipped gel-cream formula is designed to melt into the skin and provide time-released hydration through the day.
• Evens skin tone in a 4-week consumer trial: In a Korres study of 32 women aged 25 to 40, daily use over 4 weeks was linked to a more even skin tone and fewer visible imperfections.

What does ""Super Vitamin C"" mean in this gel-cream?

Korres uses this term for the oil-soluble, stabilised forms of vitamin C in the formula, ascorbyl palmitate and ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, rather than pure ascorbic acid. They're included for their brightening effect on the look of the complexion.

Can I use this gel-cream with a vitamin C serum?

Yes. Korres designs this gel-cream to be applied after a serum as part of a morning routine, for example alongside the Wild Rose Spotless Serum, and sells the two together as a brightening duo.

Does this gel-cream contain fragrance?

Yes, it's fragranced (parfum), including the allergens linalyl acetate and pinene. See Warnings if you have a known sensitivity to fragrance ingredients.
