Illustrious Day Moisturizer with SPF 50
Brighten, hydrate and protect in one morning step
Sun exposure is the single biggest driver of dark spots and uneven tone — which makes daily protection the most important part of any brightening routine. Christina's Illustrious Day Cream combines high broad-spectrum SPF 50 defence with the brightening actives from the brand's dedicated tone-correcting line, so you're treating and protecting at the same time.
The rich, fast-absorbing cream is built around a brightening peptide (Oligopeptide-68), licorice root extract and niacinamide to help visibly even out tone, with encapsulated hyaluronic acid and saccharide isomerate for long-lasting hydration. Light-reflecting minerals give skin an immediate soft-focus luminosity, so your complexion looks brighter from the very first application while the actives work over time.
Non-greasy, comfortable under makeup, and formulated for year-round use — including through summer.
