It has just the right amount of weight to it for winter, leaves your skin feeling healthy, smooth, and hydrated, and is packed with resveratrol and hyaluronic acid for plumping action.

Formulated with retinol, this super moisturizing product is packed with an anti-aging boost. But remember, retinol is known for making skin potentially more sensitive to the sun, so you'll want to be sure you apply SPF. But then again, shouldn't you be doing that anyway?
