IMAGE Skincare Hydrating Intense Moisturizer 1.7 fl oz — Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid for Dry Skin

IMAGE Skincare VITAL C Hydrating Intense Moisturizer is a lightweight yet deeply emollient face crème designed to replenish and protect dry, thirsty skin while delivering antioxidant-rich vitamin C. This physician-formulated moisturizer pairs fast-absorbing hydration with richer emollients to restore comfort and a smoother surface. The formula combines tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (a stable form of vitamin C), hyaluronic acid for immediate moisture boost, and shea butter to reinforce the skin's barrier. A bright, natural orange-peel scent gives a fresh finish, and the product can be layered over serums or blended with I CONCEAL for extra radiance.

How does this moisturizer rehydrate very dry skin?

VITAL C Hydrating Intense Moisturizer blends humectants and emollients so skin feels hydrated quickly and stays comfortable longer. Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds water, while shea butter and olive fruit oil lock in moisture and smooth the skin surface. The result is immediate relief from tightness with visibly softer texture over continued use.

• Hyaluronic acid for instant moisture retention
• Shea butter and olive fruit oil to seal hydration
• Time-released delivery for all-day comfort

Can I use this with other treatments or makeup?

This crème is formulated to layer easily over serums and under sunscreen or makeup. Apply after your active serum in your evening routine; in the morning follow with sunscreen. For a dewier, more even finish, mix a small amount with I CONCEAL before applying to the face.

• Works over serums and under SPF
• Blendable with I CONCEAL for added coverage and glow
• Lightweight enough to pair with daily makeup

What key actives are included and what do they do?

The formula centers on clinically minded ingredients chosen to support hydration and skin resilience. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is a lipid-soluble vitamin C variant that offers antioxidant support and helps brighten appearance. Peptides are included to support the look of firmness, while emollients restore softness.

• Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate: antioxidant support and brightening
• Peptides: help the appearance of skin elasticity and firmness
• Hyaluronic acid: draws and holds moisture

How should I apply this moisturizer for best results?

Use on cleansed skin morning and/or evening after your serums for optimal layering. Smooth a pea-sized amount over face and neck with upward, gentle strokes until absorbed. For very dry areas, apply a slightly thicker layer or reapply as needed throughout the day.

• Apply to clean skin after serums; follow with SPF in the morning
• Blend with I CONCEAL for a luminous finish
• Use daily for sustained improvement in hydration and texture
