Available in two sizes.

Lapis Blue Tansy Face Oil

  • Recommended for: NOVA is suitable for all skin.

    Target concerns:
    + Dullness
    + Dark Spots
    + Uneven Skin Tone

    NOVA is powered by THD vitamin C—a highly efficacious, oil-soluble ingredient that deeply penetrates the skin to brighten dark spots and improve hyperpigmentation. At a potent level of 15%, this treatment gives skin an immediate boost of radiance and significantly brightens skin in seven days. Best yet, the powerful formula is gentle on sensitive skin, so everyone can enjoy its incredible benefits.

    A key ingredient in NOVA is antioxidant-rich super root turmeric which gives this serum a ginger-like smell that fades upon application. Like all of our products, NOVA is 100% natural and made without any added fragrances.

    Clinical results:
    In a blind use test on 65 men and women (ages 25-59 yrs), participants reported the following results after 7 days of twice-daily use: 

    • Brighter skin in 7 days
    • No new breakouts
    • No irritation

    Scent: Turmeric, ginger-like
    Texture: Silky, creamy
    Color: Pale yellow

  • Apply 1-2 pumps onto skin after cleansing and before moisturizing. For additional skin-tone-evening benefits, use 2-3 drops of LAPIS facial oil as the final step before applying SPF

    *Store in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight.

Helps with dark spots

I use this to keep my dark spots at bay. After my last pregnancy, both cheeks and a couple spots on my forehead were dark. They are not completely gone but I only use it in the morning. This is my second bottle in like almost 3 years. A little definitely goes a long way. Doesn't have much of a smell in my opinion, it's fades quickly, which is a plus for me. I probably won't ever stop using this product!

Best Vitamin C

I used to use another brand of vitamin C, but I decided to try Herbivore bc I’m loving all of their products. I’m so glad I did. I love the texture, the color, the results. My skin has never looked better.
