Instead of buying a separate acid toner and a vitamin C serum, you get a little of each inside one cream: a mild acid blend to smooth rough texture, a stable vitamin C derivative and niacinamide for a fresher, more even tone, and hydrators to keep skin comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is unusual for a cream. The first ingredients are kiwi fruit and dragon fruit extracts and sea buckthorn water rather than plain water, which gives the formula a fresh, fruity feel. It comes in a 50ml tube and belongs to COSRX's Refresh line, which also includes a vitamin C toner and booster serum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it a moisturiser or an exfoliator?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is primarily a moisturiser with a gentle exfoliating effect. The acids are included at a level designed for daily wear, not as a strong peel, so it suits people who want a slow, steady improvement in glow and texture without a separate exfoliation step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich cream contains niacinamide and vitamin C?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one does. Niacinamide and a vitamin C derivative, ascorbyl glucoside, sit side by side in the formula, together with alpha-arbutin, which is why the cream is popular with people chasing a brighter, more even complexion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCOSRX Refresh AHA BHA Vitamin C Daily Cream benefits: what it does for your skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmoother, softer texture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlycolic acid, lactobionic acid and betaine salicylate loosen the dull build-up on the surface.
