Light Aura Vitamin C + Peptide Eye Cream
Summer Fridays' brightening eye treatment — tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (THDA, oil-soluble vitamin C) + acetyl hexapeptide-8 (Argireline) + caffeine + niacinamide + sodium hyaluronate + rosehip seed + avocado oil + shea butter. Sister product to the Jet Lag Mask and Cloud Dew (already in catalog). The mica + titanium dioxide micro-illumination is purely sensory but reads well in mirror tests. Sephora Clean+Planet Aware certified.
CC Me Serum
Summer Fridays' vitamin C serum uses L-ascorbic acid (the most potent form) with ferulic acid and vitamin E — the triple-antioxidant combination validated by the landmark Duke University study. At $64 it's positioned between The Ordinary's budget L-ascorbic acid and SkinCeuticals' $166 CE Ferulic. The Sephora-darling brand delivers the Instagram-friendly packaging that gets people to actually use their vitamin C consistently — and consistency is what makes vitamin C work.
