What Else You Need to Know: This serum works to combat environmental stressors, which can make skin look dull and prematurely aged. It boosts radiance, while visibly evening skin tone, smoothing texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles—all to reduce the look of atmospheric skin aging.

Part of The Ordinary’s range of Multi-Active Solutions, the eight key technologies found in this serum also include: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, a protective biomimetic peptide which targets the appearance of uneven skin tone to promote a more radiant, healthier-looking appearance; Heptapeptide-6, a turmeric peptide that protects against environmental aggressors while also targeting common, visible signs of aging; Ergothioneine, an antioxidant found naturally within the skin, that provides protection against environmental stressors which can cause visible skin damage; Tocotrienols, derived from annatto seeds and a source of vitamin E, protects from the damaging effects of environmental pollution that can contribute to visible signs of atmospheric skin aging, and soothes signs of skin irritation that can be caused by environmental stressors; Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp extract, a polysaccharide derived from snow fungus which creates a protective film on skin’s surface, helping to attract and hold on to water like a moisture magnet.
