Grapefruit seed extract
Topical grapefruit seed extract calms UV-induced redness, preserves natural moisture barriers, and fights daily environmental stress to keep complexions visibly clear, resilient, and balanced. Suitable for most skin types, this botanical ingredient is commonly found in nourishing serums. Because it layers easily, the serum integrates smoothly into your daily skincare routine.
