Author:Dhani MauUpdated:Jan 28, 2020Original:Jan 28, 2020In the skin-care community, vitamin C and retinol are widely considered to be the two most legitimately effective ingredients available.

"'What do you think of this situation? Isn't this insane?'" he recalls asking her. "When you're in the bulk manufacturing stage, it's easy to remove exposure to oxygen and UV light; the hard part is getting it from the big vat into a bottle without exposing it to oxygen and air," Gaul explains.

"I photograph a lot of skin-care brands, beauty brands, and I had become fatigued by looking at all this packaging that just felt the same and it felt like it was pandering to a lowest common denominator of women who just wanted something pretty for their shelves," she says.
