Topical C
$60
What it is
This “do-it-all” hydrating balm for extra-dry skin deeply moisturizes, helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and smooths the appearance of wrinkles. Leaves skin looking firmer, brighter and with a more even tone and texture. Perfect as a nighttime moisturizer.
How it works
To be effective, your moisturizer needs ingredients that your skin recognizes and more importantly, the ingredients need to know where to go. This "moisturizer of all moisturizers" combines skin-conversant ingredients with a lipid-based, smart delivery system to absorb without irritation. Most traditional moisturizers are designed to simply trap moisture at the surface of skin and superficially moisturize it. Topical C on the other hand moisturizes skin and delivers vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) and natural barrier protective nutrients to where your skin needs them the most.
Ingredients
Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Chole-Calciferol (Vitamin D), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil.

This is my new holy grail product. I moved to Colorado from California and am slowly adapting to the extremely dry climate and this has SAVED my skin. I get monthly facials and my esthetician said my skin is looking so much better and I know it’s because of this product!

I live in Colorado where it's pretty dry so this is great. I usually make a mixture of one pump this plus two pumps balancing moisturizer in the winter and it's perfect but I can see how more humid climates or oily skin might not like it.

This product is amazing and seems to address nearly all of my skin problems. It’s a bit pricey, but a little bit goes a long way. Definitely my favorite sanitas product.

The product is amazing. This balm really hydrates and keeps my skin looking supple.
The one star that I deducted is for the product container. I finally "finished" one bottle, so I ordered another one.
Just as I was about to throw the old container away, I decided to pop the top off. I was shocked to see that there was still so much product left, at least 2 small sized sample containers. I'm happy that I just extended my stock, however, I almost wasted a good amount of gold by throwing it away prematurely.
A better, less wasteful container might be a better choice.
