Their claim:
To encourage daily skin repair and rejuvenation, this age-defying cream helps deeply rehydrate and rebuild the skin’s support structure. As collagen and elastin growth is stimulated, skin becomes smoother and more supple while the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles fades. Antioxidant-rich Vitamin C, Lemon Bioflavonoids, and White Tea soothe oxidative stress and help fight the visible signs of photo-aging. With use, skin awakens with a refreshed and youthful appearance.
Directions:
Apply to face and neck after cleansing and toning. To maximize skin renewal, use overnight.

Buyer Beware:
Kindly read the full ingredient list before buying any cosmetic product.Algin, which is sodium salt.an acne causing agent is found in the list and it is comedogenic. Then we have the culprit Sodium Benzoate.Sodium Benzoate is mostly used as a preservative in foods and cosmetic products. Thank god it is listed towards the last in the ingredient list. Sodium benzoate when combined with Vitamin C becomes Benzene,a toxic carcinogen. The recommended dosage is 0.1% in the cosmetic products. It is generally not recommended to leave any cosmetic product containing sodium benzoate on the skin for an extended period of time.Being a Vitamin C line, I am concerned about Sodium Benzoate.
Final thoughts:
I found all the ingredients to be derived from plants. Though I like the composition mostly, it is not product for a oily skin. As I don't have wrinkles yet, I cannot comment on being the product which fades wrinkles and lines. It is not a product for me.
