KEY INGREDIENTS
ARBUTIN, 4%
A glycosylated hydroquinone extracted from the bearberry plant. Arbutin inhibits tyrosinase and thus prevents the formation of melanin.
GREEN TEA EXTRACT (CAMELLIA OLEIFERA)
A potent antioxidant that inhibits DNA damage by counteracting oxidative stress. Possesses anti-inflammatory properties and helps to treat immunosuppression. When used for its caffeine containing properties, green tea constricts blood vessels in the skin and reduces water leakage. This ingredient also alleviates puffiness and under-eye darkness.
KOJIC ACID (KOJIC DIPALMITATE / ESTER OF KOJIC ACID), 7%
Inhibits melanin production by inhibiting tyrosinase and provides gradual and continual skin lightening to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Derived from mushrooms.
SALICYLIC ACID, 1%
Aids exfoliation by weakening the links between cells in the outer layer of dead skin, allowing the normal shedding process to occur at a more optimum rate. By helping new cells surface, it improves skin texture, unclogs pores, enhances penetration (and therefore effectiveness) of ingredients such as vitamin C.
L-ERGOTHIONEINE
A naturally occurring amino acid and sulfur-based antioxidant that can help stabilize oxygen-sensitive additives. Ergothioneine has demonstrated cytoprotective capacities in vitro.
EVODIA RUTAECARPA
A naturally derived ingredient with anti-inflammatory properties.
L-ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), 10%
A potent antioxidant with photo-protective and anti-inflammatory properties. Stimulates collagen, promotes wound healing, and is necessary for tissue growth and repair. This ingredient helps combat free radicals triggered by both the body and the environment. Helps brighten skin.
