Take the skin testA gentle daily Korean moisturizer, enriched with vitamins C and E to visibly brighten your skin.
Radian-C Cream is a lightweight moisturizer from LANEIGE, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 25 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Propanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Propanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Cetearyl Alcohol.
Antioxidant support: Moderate. Ingredients that mop up free radicals from UV and pollution, and here that comes from 3-o-ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Tocopherol.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from 3-o-ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Tocopherol.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Several ingredients carry irritation flags. If your skin is reactive, this is one to patch test carefully or approach slowly.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, oil control, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it. 4 ingredients on the label have not been matched to our database yet, so the analysis above reads a slightly incomplete list.
It does contain fragrance and essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
