I’m not sure what your skin goal is, but mine has been consistent for years: I want it to feel like a bouncy castle that’s just been injected with a fresh infusion of air. Basically, I want supple skin that has an impressive rebound. And oh yeah, it should have a healthy, youthful glow. Not surprisingly, I love treating it with products and ingredients that can help me achieve my goal. Enter philosophy’s Dose of Wisdom Bouncy Skin Reactivating Serum. Here’s why it checks so many of the boxes that will get me that much-needed bouncy glow:

1. The Ingredients Are Powerhouses

This facial serum is packed with ingredients that can help us get there. For instance, vitamin C is majorly responsible for collagen synthesis, a.k.a. helping our bodies make more collagen, the substance that gives skin the spongy elasticity that typifies baby skin. Another ingredient that makes the complexion look and feel plush is hyaluronic acid. This molecule increases skin hydration in several layers of the skin, making it plumper and blurring fine lines. Rounding things out are glycerin and squalane, two deep skin hydration superheroes, as well as philosophy’s patented vitality booster that renews skin's vibrancy, helping it function at its peak.

2. It Works Gently

Anyone who’s met vitamin C knows that its modus operandi is tough love. Sensitive skin types find some formulas with this ingredient tough to incorporate into their routines, because it can cause irritation. Adding to the difficulty is vitamin C’s delicate nature. It’s not a robust ingredient and degrades quickly when exposed to air and light, its potency decreases rapidly over time. To combat all these undesirable traits, philosophy’s vitamin C has had a makeover. The molecule grafted version of the ingredient is used in this serum, making it gentle and revealing renewed, much smoother skin.

3. It’s A Multitasker

Any product that does more than one task these days is worth its weight in gold. This one is a heavy lifter. Firstly, it’s a hydrating product, providing a much-needed boost and a youthful dewy vibe. Secondly, it’s an anti-ager, as vitamin C functions to brighten and stimulate collagen which helps with both fine lines and wrinkles, as well as increasing the skin’s radiance and glow. This ingredient is also an antioxidant, meaning it reverses the havoc that sun damage, pollution and other free radicals cause on our skin. Research has shown that wearing a vitamin C serum under sunscreen boosts the protective effects on the skin, and helps mitigate the exposure to UV rays, making this serum perfect to wear under sunscreen for daytime use. Lastly, it’s a great choice for a p.m. product, brightening and repairing free radical damage as you sleep.

4. It’s A Beauty Editor Must-Have

All the reasons listed above make this serum a fave for a category of people who see and use a lot of product—beauty editors. There’s so much to love, namely how easily it fits into our existing routines without having to add on an extra step. It also streamlines and simplifies our day and night regimens by combining hydration, anti-aging and brightening actions in one. Its gentle, hydrating nature also helps support the epidermis when we’re using harsher ingredients like retinol. Lastly, it actually feels so fresh on the skin, giving it an energetic jumpstart.

And though you really should, don’t take our word for it Try the Dose of Wisdom Bouncy Skin Reactivating Serum yourself. It’s simple to use and makes a big impact.
