Key ingredients

  • Hinokitiol
    Hinokitiol is Riversol’s signature antioxidant, derived from the Pacific red cedar. Riversol founder and award-winning dermatologist Dr. Jason Rivers was first introduced to its potential during his time teaching at UBC, and made it the foundation of Riversol formulas. Known for its antioxidant properties, hinokitiol helps improve skin clarity, brighten the look of dark spots and support a more even-looking complexion.

  • Vitamin E
    Also known as "the protector", Vitamin E it is a potent antioxidant, well documented to help reduce the look of sun damage in sensitive skin, while hydrating and replenishing the skin's moisture barrier.

  • Vitamin C
    The Riversol vitamin C (Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate) is 10x more photostable than traditional vitamin C. This means lasting antioxidant protection to reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.

FAQ

 

Lightweight Moisturizing Lotion FAQ

Daily Cream, Concentrate or Lightweight: which suits my skin?

Choose by skin type. Daily Moisturizing Cream is a silky cream for normal to dry and combination skin. Moisturizing Concentrate is our richest formula, a thick balm for very dry skin and harsh, dry winters. Lightweight Moisturizing Lotion is a light lotion for oily or breakout-prone skin. If your skin changes with the seasons, you can switch between them.

Is it good for oily, breakout-prone skin?

Yes, it's made for it. It's a light, fast-absorbing lotion with a matte finish and no greasy or sticky residue. Use 2–3 pumps after your serum, morning and night. More product won't give you better results, and too much can pill or feel heavy. Drier skin? Daily Moisturizing Cream is richer.

Is it made for sensitive skin?

Yes. Developed by Dr. Rivers for sensitive skin, it's formulated without parabens and without added fragrance, including masking scents. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin irritation. Its light lotion helps replenish hydration and absorbs quickly, with no greasy or sticky residue. Your first full-product order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Will it work under makeup and sunscreen?

Yes. It's a light, mattifying lotion, so it makes a good base. Apply 2–3 pumps after your serum, let it absorb, then follow with sunscreen and makeup. Too much can leave a film or pill, so start with less if your makeup slides.

Does it have SPF?

No, it doesn't contain sunscreen. In the morning, apply it first, let it absorb, then finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, such as our Daily Glow Mineral Sunscreen.

How long will one bottle last?

About 3 months, used morning and night. The 60 mL bottle holds enough for 2–3 pumps each time, and the 15 mL size lasts about 1 month. That's how long it takes to use up, not how long it keeps once opened.

What is hinokitiol?

Hinokitiol is our signature antioxidant, found naturally in the Pacific Red Cedar and studied for decades. It's a natural antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant with other skin-revitalizing properties, and in our formulas it helps to even skin tone, reduce the look of sun damage and correct dark spots.

Is Riversol hypoallergenic?

Our skincare products are produced and tested to the highest standards of tolerance on sensitive skin. They are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, colorant-free and cruelty free.
