The Luxury Serum That Gives My Skin an Instant Glow Is 60% Off

A friend of mine with excellent taste introduced me to Kypris — a skincare brand that, in my mind, epitomizes quiet luxury. Formulated solely with potent, nutrient-dense ingredients and packaged in beautiful bottles that are inscribed with poetic words of affirmation, Kypris is an indulgence that makes skincare more ritual than routine. 

The brand is objectively pricey, though a true testament to the saying, “you get what you pay for.” I’ve been lucky enough to get my hands on one of its hero products, the Kypris Beauty Elixir III: Prismatic Array, which my skin has been craving since I ran out about a year ago. Frankly, I consider cost the sole deterrent — as do many reviewers who otherwise adore the glow-inducing elixir. In a rare turn of events, however, Kypris products are up to 60 percent off this weekend during Space NK’s winter sale. Hurry — my  favorite, in addition to another elixir I’ve yet to try, will return to full price soon.

Kypris’s Prismatic Array Elixir is an oil-based serum packed with potent, plant-derived actives. It’s a gentle elixir, since it's fragrance-free and ideal for “sun-overexposed skin,” per the brand. As a stickler for SPF and wide-brim hats, I can’t say I use it for this reason; however, as someone with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, I’m attracted to its brightening effects nonetheless. Vitamin C, an enemy to dark spots, stars as a key active. Firming antioxidant Coq10 is also present, as is tocopherol, aka vitamin E. A few drops of this oil illuminates my skin, as if I’ve experienced the world’s best facial — and I can hardly recommend it enough.

Shoppers concur: “Not only did it leave my complexion feeling hydrated and radiant, but it also helped reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,” says one reviewer. Isn’t that all anyone could want?
