Boticário Botik Vitamina C Antioxidant Face Moisturizer – Matte Finish, Brighter and Smoother Skin in 2 Weeks – 1.76 oz (50 g)

Want skin that feels hydrated and looks radiant? Botik Vitamina C Antioxidant Face Moisturizer – 1.76 oz (50 g) is a matte-finish facial moisturizer from O Boticário, made in Brazil and built around 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a stable vitamin C derivative that helps defend skin against the visible effects of free radicals.

Botik is O Boticário's dermocosmetics line, pairing high-performance actives with the brand's exclusive, patented Swiss Technology. The satin cream texture is light and non-oily, absorbs quickly and leaves a mattifying finish, so it suits adult skin of every type, including oily skin.

With continuous daily use, skin looks softer, more even and more luminous in just 2 weeks. Dermatologist tested and approved, and certified cruelty-free.

Key Features:

• Antioxidant Vitamin C Formula: 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a stable vitamin C derivative, helps protect skin from the visible effects of free radicals.
• Up to 48 Hours of Hydration: keeps skin feeling comfortable and hydrated well beyond a single application.
• Matte Finish, No Greasy Feel: the satin cream leaves a mattifying veil instead of shine, so it layers easily under makeup and works on oily skin.
• Light, Fast-Absorbing Texture: a jelly-light cream that sinks in quickly without weighing skin down.
• Brighter, More Even-Looking Skin: with continuous use, skin appears more luminous, softer and more uniform in 2 weeks.
• Dermatologist Tested and Approved: developed for adult skin of all types, including oily skin.
• Brazilian Dermocosmetic, Cruelty-Free: made in Brazil by O Boticário with exclusive patented Swiss Technology; no O Boticário product is tested on animals.

How To Use

1. Start with clean, dry skin.
2. Apply the cream twice a day, morning and evening, using upward motions for better absorption.
3. In the morning, follow with a sunscreen (SPF 30 minimum) as the last step of your routine, exactly as the label instructs.
4. Use daily for continuous results.

Expert Tip: “This face cream has a jelly-like texture, light and dry to the touch. Ideal for anyone who likes a lightweight moisturizer and radiant, healthy-looking skin. The perfect recipe for those after luminosity and hydration without weighing the skin down.” – Botik Dermatologist.
