Now that the cooler weather is (finally) here, it’s safe to say that we’ll all be experiencing one *major* lifestyle change. You can find us living our best lives…outside. While we love that the sun has taken a lil’ vacay from its blindingly bright life, the one thing we don’t love is the residential dullness we’re seemingly left with on our complexions.

Dermalogica knows this and that’s why they just formulated their new BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer. This ultra-hydrating, vitamin C-infused gel moisturizer does the most to brighten skin. It also combats free radical damage from previous sun exposure (bikini brunches, we’re looking at you.)
Why it works
Short answer: the ingredients. Long answer: the technology behind em’. Vitamin C bestows upon our skin a radiance akin to the luminous feeling you get when listening to Adele’s new album. The type of brightness that makes it look like you filtered your latest selfie (and then filtered it again, we’ve done it too.)
This is where it gets tech-y. Since vitamin C is quite unstable on its own, Dermalogica’s BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer uses bioengineered vitamin C that’s extremely stable. This means it performs better than other vitamin C currently available. It also penetrates deeper into your skin and gives you better results.
The BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer also contains hydrating and youth-inducing squalane and five (that’s not a typo, we promise) different types of hyaluronic acid to plump up skin and minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
As an added brightening boost, Verbascum Thapsus Flower Extract is integrated into the formula as well as revitalising pumpkin enzymes and phytic acid. The result? With consistent use, you’ll notice a beautiful, natural-looking, and healthy glow to your skin.

Get a lil’ extra
Take your illumination game to the next level by combining your BioLumin-C Gel Moisturizer with Dermalogica’s two other skin-brighteners from their BioLumin-C family. First, apply the BioLumin-C Serum to freshly cleansed skin for a mega-dosing of brightening and firming action.
Follow by tap-tap-tapping the BioLumin-C Eye Serum to your periorbital area to get hydrating and brightening to the areas that need it most. Finish by applying one to two pumps of the BioLumin-C Moisturizer all over your face, neck, and chest. Massage the gel moisturiser into your skin using upward strokes.
Cosmo recommends taking a selfie on day one and day 30 of your brightening journey. We’re sure you’ll be hashtagging #glowup to your stories on the ‘gram.
The Dermalogica BioLumin-C moisturiser retails for Dhs345, the BioLumin-C eye serum, Dhs353, the BioLumin-C serum, Dhs471.
