Q: What's the difference between Vital Skincare Complexion Drops and Vital Skin Foundation Stick?

When Gucci set out to build the beauty line of her dreams, she wanted to merge supercharged skincare ingredients into products that could do more than traditional makeup. "I really wanted to correct the skin beautifully and treat it with active ingredients, not just cover," she notes, reflecting on the first product that checked all the boxes: our Vital Skin Foundation Stick.

Now, to complement the natural finish of the creamy, buildable stick and offer a new finish and texture to the Westman Atelier wardrobe, Gucci launches Vital Skincare Complexion Drops. This serum-strength skin tint has a light to medium coverage with a radiant finish. "I like to think of it as the last step of your skincare but the first step before makeup," says Gucci of its particularly high levels of skin-boosting actives. 

When choosing which is right for you, it comes down to skin type, preferred coverage, texture, and finish:

 

Vital Skincare Complexion Drops

 

  • Coverage: Light to Medium
  • Finish: Radiant
  • Texture: Glides on like a lightweight oil, then transforms into a cushiony serum on the skin
  • Best for: Dry to Combination Skin (If oily, the stick may be preferred or combine with our Vital Pressed Skincare Powder)
  • Usage: All-over, pat in like a favorite serum
  • Treatment Actives: Tsubaki Oil, Ginseng Extract, Ginger Root Complex to hydrate, retexturize, firm, and support healthy-looking skin

 

 

Vital Skin Foundation Stick

 

  • Coverage: Buildable
  • Finish: Natural, "Real Skin"
  • Texture: Buttery, creamy, melts into the skin
  • Best for: All Skin Types
  • Usage: Where needed to even tone, cover spots, or as a concealer
  • Treatment Actives: Vegetable Derived Squalene, Camellia Seed Oil, Raspberry Cell extract, and Coconut Oil to hydrate, soothe, and calm
