Compare the pair

−95%per oz

Same old-school recipe: mineral oil, stearic acid and glyceryl stearate in a light cream that sinks in and sits well under makeup.

Compare the pair

Same trio of actives (L-ascorbic acid, vitamin E, ferulic acid) with a higher vitamin C percentage. More chance of tingling on sensitive skin, and it oxidizes faster, so finish it within about 3 months.
