Boticário Botik Vitamina C Antioxidant Face Moisturizer – Matte Finish, Brighter and Smoother Skin in 2 Weeks – 1.76 oz (50 g)
- Hydrates adult facial skin with a light, non-oily cream that absorbs quickly.
- Delivers a stable vitamin C derivative that helps defend skin against the visible effects of free radicals.
- Helps skin look softer, more even and more luminous with continuous daily use.
- Leaves a mattifying finish that suits oily skin and sits well under makeup.
- Keeps skin feeling hydrated for up to 48 hours.
This cream is made for adult skin, ages 18 and over, and works across all skin types, including oily and combination skin, thanks to its light, non-oily, mattifying texture. It suits anyone who wants a daily vitamin C moisturizer that feels weightless rather than rich, and who prefers a matte finish under makeup. It is not intended for children or teenagers, and it should not be applied to irritated or broken skin. Anyone who reacts easily to fragrance or to added colorants may prefer a different formula, and people looking for a heavy, occlusive balm for very dry skin will probably want something richer.

- Key actives: 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (stable vitamin C), Panthenol and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter.
- Made in Brazil by O Boticario, whose Botik line pairs dermocosmetic actives with an exclusive patented Swiss Technology.

On clean, dry skin, apply the cream twice a day, morning and evening, using upward motions for better absorption. In the morning, the label asks you to follow with a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 as the last step of your routine; that is a usage instruction, and the cream itself does not provide sun protection. Use it daily, since the results build with continuous use.
- It comes in a wide 50 g screw-top jar, so scoop it with clean, dry hands to keep the cream fresh.
- The label recommends it for adult skin, ages 18 and over, and asks you to keep it away from the eyes and off irritated or broken skin.
- The formula is fragranced (Parfum) and contains added colorants, so patch test first if your skin reacts easily; the packaging is printed in Portuguese.
The formula is built as a light emulsion: water, propanediol and panthenol draw in and hold moisture, while caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetyl and stearyl alcohols and shea butter form the soft cream base that softens skin without weighing it down. 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is the active centre of the formula, and a polyacrylate crosspolymer with hydroxyethylcellulose gives the jelly-light, dry-touch feel and the mattifying finish that makes the cream comfortable on oily skin. Used morning and evening on clean skin, and followed in the morning by a sunscreen as the label instructs, it works as the hydration and antioxidant step of a simple daily routine rather than as a treatment.
