“If there’s one product you should be using, it’s this”

Sometimes the best products fly under the radar, even for us beauty editors. It’s not that we’re uninterested; it’s just hard to keep up when every product that lands on our desks seems to come with some sort of life-changing claim.

So using them topically can help to activate your body's own stem cell regeneration process and target areas affected by wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, loss of collagen and elastin, and other environmental aggressors. In civilian terms: The formula helps your skin look and feel renewed and regenerated faster. While the ingredients in the two are similar, The Rich Cream is a heavier version that is best used by dryer skin types in colder, winter climates.
