Sunday says:
-"I use C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum twice a day. In the morning, I make a vitamin C cocktail for my skin by mixing two to three pumps with three drops of C.E.O Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil. I massage it well into my skin and it rapidly soaks in, and my skin visibly glows. In the morning, I follow with Good Genes All-In One Lactic Acid Treatment and a dab of Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream and then sunscreen. In the evening, I use C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum after my retinoid step (A+ High-Dose Retinol Serum and Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil). I then follow with ICE Ceramide Moisturizing Cream." (All additional products are sold separately.)
