KEY INGREDIENTS

Arbutin

Tranexamic Acid ( 3%)

A skin brightening agent and alternative to hydroquinone for darks spots and discoloration. Tranexamic acid balances melanin production and melanin transfer.

Tetrahexyldecyl (THD) Ascorbate

Ascorbate (stabilized form of Vitamin C) Protects healthy cells from recurrence by protecting them from UV and environmental oxidation and inflammation.

Niacinamide (5%)

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that helps with numerous metabolic pathways. Studies show it may improve acne and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Kojic Acid Dipalmitate (2%)

A tyrosinase inhibitor that also can reduce UV caused inflammation. It is believed to help accelerate wound healing. Kojic acid has been used as a skin brightener for many years. It is naturally derived from mushrooms, and is a safe and e! ective hydroquinone alternative.

Glycolic Acid (3%)

This ingredient dissolves the intercellular cement responsible for abnormal  keratinization. In acne prone skin, this is of particular importance as the pore is clogged and filled with keratinized dead cells. Glycolic acid helps with dry and oil conditions alike. It dissolves the dry and thick layers of skin and unclogs the pores as well as helping other nourishing products and ingredients to penetrate. 

How to Use:

Apply a small amount to the affected area(s) and massage into the skin. Let dry and follow with your moisturizer and sunscreen. For sensitive skin, begin usage every evening on the affected area(s). After the first week if no irritation occurs increase to twice daily.
