Ingredients
Key Ingredients:
Hydroquinone: Works on a molecular level to inhibit the production of tyrosinase, the enzyme commonly known for producing melanin. It acts as a skin lightening agent by pushing the melanin to the skins’ surface, and reducing dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma.
Pycnogenol: A plant-derived antioxidant that prevents melanogenesis and selectively binds collagen and elastin to protect from degradation, which allows for improved hydration and elasticity. It scavenges for free radicals to help reduce oxidative stress and UV damage.
Retinol: A derivative of vitamin A that provides anti-aging and skin brightening benefits by unclogging pores and enhancing the effects of skin care actives by removing dead skin cells and increasing absorption.
Ascorbic Acid: A powerful antioxidant which uses a micro-delivery system to encourage collagen production, reverse sun damage, as well as lighten age spots and discoloration to reveal a brighter and more even skin tone. It also helps to refine pore size and rebuild collagen and elastin for firmer, younger looking skin.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA): A blend of natural alpha hydroxy acids, specifically glycolic acid and lactic acid, that work synergistically to accelerate the cell renewal process and exfoliate dead surface cells and debris. Due to their water-soluble properties, AHA’s have an added benefit of binding moisture to not only minimize fine lines and wrinkles, but also to provide a more smooth, brighter, youthful appearance.
