Dr Dennis Gross VitC+Lactic Oil-Free Radiant Moisturizer, 1.7 fl oz — Lightweight brightening, non-greasy

Dr. Dennis Gross VitC+Lactic Oil-Free Radiant Moisturizer is a lightweight, serum-like daily moisturizer that combines vitamin C and lactic acid to brighten skin, hydrate without oiliness, and help refine texture.

This oil-free formula from Dr Dennis Gross is designed to deliver antioxidant protection and gentle exfoliation in a single step, working as both a moisturizer and a brightening serum for normal to combination skin. The 1.7 fl oz (50 ml) pump provides convenient, hygienic dispensing and layers easily under SPF or makeup. It’s cruelty-free, vegan, and formulated without parabens, phthalates, and sulfates.

How does this moisturizer fit into my morning routine?

Use this product after cleansing and applying any water-based serums. Its lightweight texture absorbs quickly so you can follow with sunscreen or makeup without pilling. Because it’s oil-free, it’s especially useful if you prefer non-greasy layers.

• Apply 2 pumps to clean, dry skin
• Allow a minute to absorb before sunscreen or makeup
• Works well over hydrating serums or niacinamide treatments

What active ingredients deliver results and how do they work together?

The formula pairs stabilized vitamin C with lactic acid for brightening and gentle exfoliation, while niacinamide and squalane support barrier health and hydration. Antioxidant extracts like chaga and centella help defend skin from environmental stressors and calm redness.

• Vitamin C: brightens and supports even tone
• Lactic Acid: mild exfoliation to refine texture
• Niacinamide & Squalane: strengthen barrier and hydrate
• Centella & Chaga: antioxidant support and soothing

Will this moisturizer cause breakouts or feel greasy?

Because it’s formulated oil-free and has a serum-like consistency, it minimizes pore-clogging risk and leaves a matte-to-natural finish. Individuals with oily or combination skin typically find it comfortable, while those with dry skin may prefer to layer a heavier oil or cream at night.

• Oil-free, non-comedogenic-friendly texture
• Absorbs quickly without leaving residue
• Layer with heavier moisturizers if extra hydration is needed

How should I introduce this product to avoid irritation?

Start by using it every other day or mixing with your current moisturizer to assess tolerance to lactic acid and vitamin C. If skin responds well, progress to daily use morning or night. Always follow with sunscreen in the morning when using exfoliating acids.

• Patch test before full-face application
• Begin with alternate-day use, then increase to daily
• Use SPF during daytime routines

Who is this for: This moisturizer is targeted at people seeking a lightweight, multifunctional product that brightens and hydrates without oils — ideal for normal, combination, and oil-prone skin types who want antioxidant protection and mild exfoliation in one step. It’s also a good option for those who prefer cruelty-free, vegan formulations and clean ingredient lists free of parabens, phthalates, and sulfates.
