Age 20 - Intensive Vital Essence 100ml

Age 20 Intensive Vital Essence is a first-step anti-aging essence built around bakuchiol, a plant-derived ingredient. The brand says 70% of the formula is a fermented bakuchiol solution used in place of purified water, and the essence is made to support the look of firmness, hydration and radiance.

Key Benefits

2. Hydrates and adds glow. The essence helps skin look more hydrated and radiant after use.
3. Targets the look of wrinkles. The brand's AGE TIME CODE complex is described as helping reduce the look of fine and deep wrinkles.
