This Serum Will Make Your Skin Look Younger

We may not be able to control much in the environment of a global pandemic, but one (small) thing that we have some power over is what we put on our face. And, since now is the most opportune time to start incorporating long-game skin-care products, we’re especially glad that one highly coveted serum is back in stock. Enter: the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum Crystal Elixir ($80).

If you’re not familiar, a celebrity makeup artist who gives the faces of Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, and many others a glow-up (literally).. often with her eponymous skin-care and makeup products. Out of her extensive line, though, her magic serum has garnered an 8,000-person waitlist. Why the hype? Well, the Magic Serum Crystal Elixir happens to contain a slew of hydrating, brightening, and texture-smoothing ingredients that transform skin into the most radiant version of itself.

To whisk away skin dullness, the serum uses superstar antioxidant vitamin C, aka a dermatologist-fave brightening essential (note: it will take a while to see results with vitamin C, so be patient). It also plumps up your skin with polyglutamic acid, which is a moisturizing ingredient that provides four times more hydration than hyaluronic acid does. The serum also includes peptides, which work to stimulate your collagen production, and niacinamide, to protect your skin’s barrier. And nope, we’re not done yet. The serum contains plant-based adaptogens, too, like the first light snow lotus and the resurrection leaf, both of which improve your skin barrier function so that it remains strong and thriving. Basically, the elixir is a full-on overachiever.
