Vitamin C Brightening Face Wash + Oil-Free NMF Moisturiser | Hydration + Brightening Duo for Oily Skin

Product Description

Why is this beginner friendly?

• Brighten + hydrate in two steps: The Vitamin C cleanser handles glow and tone; the NMF moisturiser handles lightweight hydration, no guesswork on what to pair.
• Oil-free throughout: Both formulas are non-comedogenic and non-greasy, ideal for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin that usually skips moisturiser.
• Gentle, sensitive-friendly: Fragrance-free and low-irritation, with Niacinamide, Panthenol, Aloe, and Calendula keeping skin calm and comfortable.

How Does it Work on the Skin?

Step 1 – Face Wash: 0.5% Vitamin C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) begins fading dullness and uneven tone, 2% Niacinamide refines pores and calms inflammation, Licorice Extract brightens, and Aquaxyl hydrates. The cooling menthol, sulfate-free base cleanses without stripping (pH 4.0–5.5).

Step 2 – Moisturiser: The 3% NMF Complex, a blend of amino acids and derivatives (Serine, Alanine, Glycine, PCA, Sodium Lactate and more), mimics the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor to hold water in the upper layers for up to 72 hours. 0.2% Panthenol repairs the barrier and prevents transepidermal water loss, while keeping the finish oil-free (pH 5.2–6.2).

The synergy: Vitamin C brightens best on well-hydrated, intact skin, and oily skin over-produces oil when it's dehydrated. Following a brightening cleanse with a lightweight NMF moisturiser keeps skin balanced, so you get radiance and lasting hydration without shine or clogged pores.

1. Why buy the face wash and moisturiser as a combo?

   They cover the two things oily skin usually gets wrong, brightening and hydration, in one oil-free routine. The Vitamin C cleanser handles glow and tone; the NMF moisturiser locks in lightweight moisture without grease, at a combo discount.

2. What order do I use them in?

   Face wash first on damp skin, rinse and pat dry, then a pea-sized amount of moisturiser. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

3. I have oily skin, do I really need a moisturiser?

   Yes. Oily skin over-produces oil when it's dehydrated. This oil-free NMF moisturiser hydrates without clogging pores, which actually helps balance shine over time.

4. Will the moisturiser clog my pores or feel greasy?

   No. It's non-comedogenic, oil-free, and absorbs instantly for a fresh, non-sticky finish, built specifically for oily and acne-prone skin.

5. How soon will I see brighter skin?

   With consistent daily use, most people notice a fresher, more radiant, even-toned look within a few weeks.

6. Can I use Vitamin C with Niacinamide?

   Yes, they're a proven pair. Niacinamide evens tone and refines pores while Vitamin C brightens.

7. Can I wear the moisturiser under makeup?

   Yes. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture makes a smooth base and helps control excess oil through the day.

8. Do I need sunscreen with this combo?

   Yes, daily. Vitamin C makes morning sunscreen essential to protect skin and maintain results.

9. Is this combo good for sensitive skin?

   Yes. Both are fragrance-free, and Panthenol, Aloe, Calendula, and Niacinamide keep the routine calm and low-irritation.

10. Can I use this combo with retinol or exfoliating acids?

    Not at the same time. Use Vitamin C in the morning and retinol/acids at night, or on alternate days, to avoid irritation.

11. Is this combo safe during pregnancy?

    Use is discretionary; please consult your doctor before starting during pregnancy or lactation.
