Pricey, but my brightest my skin has ever looked was the month I used this daily.
C-Firma Fresh Vitamin-C Day Serum - Drunk Elephant
This got rid of the little bumps on my forehead nothing else touched. A few drops, 3x a week, that’s it.

Moisturizers 🧴
Lightweight enough for humid nights but still wakes up plump. My nightstand staple.
