It feels like water going on — pressed into skin it all but vanishes, and what your fingertips find afterwards is plump rather than tacky. The glow comes from hydration, not from shimmer.

【Penetration-support agents open the way】A hydrophilic support complex carries water and treatment ingredients quickly and broadly into the stratum corneum instead of leaving them on the surface.

【A moisture reservoir holds it there】The water that fills in binds to skin's own amino acids and stays put, sustaining hydration for hours — which is why the clarity holds too.

【High-pressure-processed vitamin C】High-pressure technology micronises the whitening active (ascorbyl glucoside) to roughly 85 nanometres so it reaches deep into skin and suppresses the melanin behind spots and freckles.

【The Bright VC Complex】ORBIS's own blend of pau d'arco bark extract and oil-soluble licorice extract targets what stands in the way of clarity, leaving the stratum corneum looking clear.

【Two textures】L (Refreshing) suits oily to normal skin; M (Moist) suits drier skin. Both come in refill pouches.

【Japan domestic quasi-drug (医薬部外品)】Actives: dipotassium glycyrrhizate and ascorbyl glucoside. Weakly acidic, oil-free, fragrance-free, colourant-free, alcohol-free. Allergy tested (this does not guarantee results for everyone).

【How to use】After cleansing, take about half a teaspoon into clean palms and press gently over the whole face using your full palm.
