It’s always noteworthy when Deciem’s most famous line launches a new product, and this is one we think you’re going to want to pay attention to. Plus, for the first time, The Ordinary and NIOD (Deciem’s luxury brand) have teamed up to create a product set perfect for winter.
For the first time, this set includes both The Ordinary and NIOD, and has been created for those looking to protect the future of their skin, now. Packed with products that provide antioxidants to protect against pollution, advanced hyaluronic serums for deep moisture and elasticity, and an eye contour concentrate, this kit is every skincare lover’s dream!
