It is the serum to which Obagi owes its reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut a vitamin C serum in a high concentration can leave the skin feeling a bit dry. That is where Hydrate Light comes in: an airy gel cream with ceramides, glycerin, and polyglutamic acid that locks in moisture instead of adding a heavy layer. Oil-free, non-comedogenic, and light enough to wear makeup over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne does the corrective work, the other ensures your skin can handle that work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a dull or uneven complexion with normal to combination skin. Also great for those who have been using vitamin C for a while but notice that their skin feels tight by the afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the morning, after cleansing: apply five to seven drops of serum to dry skin, let it absorb for a minute, then apply the Hydrate Light. Always finish with sun protection. You can simply use the Hydrate Light again in the evening; the serum is a morning product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore the serum in a dark, cool place and close the cap tightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat I would like to pass on\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things I keep repeating in the clinic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vitamin C serum will oxidize, that is part of it, but you can slow it down by not placing the bottle on the windowsill. If it turns a dark orange color, it has lost its potency. Count on three to six months after opening, and it is better to restock in time than to leave a bottle sitting for a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd do not layer active products. If you use retinol or acids in the evening, this is your morning routine — not both in the same application. Your skin also needs rest to be able to do something with what you put on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you unsure if this duo suits your skin?
