Expert advice

• Put on sunscreen with an SPF of 30 to 50 every morning. Without it, pigmentation gets worse.
• If your skin is sensitive, start using it every other day.
• Don't combine with:
• Retinoids
• Peels with AHA and BHA
• Scrubs
• Benzoyl peroxide
• Serums with vitamin C at the same time
• To fight dryness from glycolic acid, moisturize every day.
• Do a patch test before using it all over.

How It Works

• Glycolic Acid (AHA)
• Removes dead skin cells
• Makes it easier for other activities to get through
• Makes skin feel smooth
• Kojic Acid
• Stops tyrosinase from working, which lowers the amount of melanin made.
• Works well for melasma and obstinate pigmentation.
• Vitamin B3, also known as niacinamide
• Reduces the transport of melanin to skin cells
• Makes the skin barrier stronger
• Lowers redness and swelling
• Tyrostat (extract of Rumex Occidentalis)
• Strong natural tyrosinase blocker
• Stops the production of melanin
• Lessens dark spots and melasma
• Stable Vitamin C: Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
• Makes skin brighter
• Fights oxidative stress
• Increases the synthesis of collagen
• Extract of Licorice
• Anti-inflammatory and anti-pigmentation
• It calms the skin and stops it from getting darker after acne.
• Combined Effect: Exfoliates, stops melanin production, lightens dark spots, makes skin brighter, and stops new pigmentation from forming. This makes skin clearer, brighter, and more even-toned.

Medicine interaction

• Retinoids (tretinoin, adapalene)
• Lactic acid and salicylic acid are examples of AHAs/BHAs.
• Benzoyl peroxide
• Toners that have alcohol in them
• Peels with medicine
• Hydroquinone (unless your dermatologist tells you to)

How to Use

• Make sure to pat dry all the way.
• Get a small bit of cream, around the size of a pea.

• Start with one dose at night, and then, if needed, take two doses a day.

• Put on broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 to 50 in the morning.
