A leave-on facial moisturizer for dark-spot care that combines humectants, emollients, niacinamide, and Caudalie's vine-shoot brightening ingredient. The formula is built to hydrate, soften, and give a more even-looking finish, but it is fragranced and includes pearl-like visual effect ingredients, so it may be less suitable for fragrance-sensitive users or those wanting a very plain cream.
