Hibiscus

Hibiscus calyx and leaf extracts visibly calm sun-stressed skin by neutralizing cellular stress, supporting firm collagen levels, and gently brightening uneven tone. It suits both dry and oily complexions especially well when applied through lightweight serums. Because of its fluid texture, it layers easily into any daily regimen.
