Gentian root
Topical gentian root extract visibly smooths skin texture, softens upper eyelid lines, and reduces the redness of dark circles. It suits dry skin and oily skin particularly well, and it is most commonly found in serums. Because it layers easily, it fits smoothly into any daily skincare routine.
