Star Ingredients

This powerful yet gentle formula combines two hero ingredients to deliver visible results without irritation.

• Alpha Arbutin: A highly purified active ingredient that is known to reduce the look of spots and hyperpigmentation by targeting melanin production.
• Hyaluronic Acid: This well-loved humectant supports the delivery of Alpha Arbutin and provides multi-depth hydration for a smooth, plump appearance.
• Lactic Acid: Included in the formula to help balance pH and provide a very gentle exfoliation, enhancing the serum's overall brightening effect.

How to Use

Apply a few drops to your entire face after cleansing and toning, but before heavier creams or oils. Gently pat into the skin until fully absorbed.

Expert Tips & Pairings

Want to get the most out of your serum? Here are a few tips from one skincare lover to another:

• Sunscreen is a Must: You're working hard to fade pigmentation, so don't let the sun undo your progress! Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning.
• Consistency is Key: Visible results take time and consistent use. Stick with it for at least 8-12 weeks to see a noticeable difference in your skin's clarity.
• Smart Layering: Apply this serum on clean, slightly damp skin for better absorption. Let it sink in for a minute before applying your moisturizer or oil.
