The Rose Gold Radiance Booster soothes and hydrates. It has an anti-inflammatory effect, any irritation cools, and redness decreases. The serum also provides antioxidant protection against UV Rays and pollution that can dry out and damage the skin. The niacinamide provides intense hydration. The texture is soft, well spread and spreadable. Moves in quickly without leaving a sticky feeling. It smells good and has a soft rose scent, but not predominant. It moisturizes and blends it with my moisterizer in the morning and evening, giving a beautiful natural healthy shine to my face with no glitter effect.
