Youth to the People Mini Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Night Cream + Mask Product review
Key actives:
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C derivative): Stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C meant to brighten and even skin tone. Likely to provide moderate antioxidant and radiance support due to low concentration.
Glycerin + Betaine: Humectants for significant hydration and skin softness.
Hyaluronic Acid: Humectant for moisture retention.
Mini Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Night Cream + Mask with Vitamin C
Youth to the People's Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Night Cream positions itself as a dual-purpose overnight treatment - functioning as both a night cream and an intensive mask. The formulation combines Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, superberry extracts, and humectants to target hydration, radiance, and signs of aging. The formula is well-suited for those looking for hydration and slight radiance improvements, but is too mild compared to Vitamin C treatments.
Who should use
Normal/combination skin wanting a hydrating PM cream/mask with noticeable moisture and gradual radiance; okay with fragrance.
Who shouldn't use
If fragrance-sensitive, seeking high-impact brightening, or very dry (you may want a more occlusive, ceramide-rich cream + a higher-dose vitamin C).
Red Flags:
Scented formula (contains natural fragrance). May be unsuitable for sensitive skin or people with fragrance sensitivity. THD Ascorbate comes in a low concentration, which means brightening on its own is moderate. Isopropyl myristate present in moderate concentration, might not be suitable for acne prone and oily skin.
Supporting ingredients worth noting:
Superberry Complex (Goji, Acai, Maqui Berry): Antioxidant-rich fruit extracts, come in mild concentration and unlikely to provide meaningful results on dullness or aging concerns.
Squalane: Lightweight emollient that reduces TEWL. Likely in a concentration <1%, which means the effects will be minor.
Sunflower Seed Oil: Plant-based oil for nourishment and barrier support.
