Key Features
Exfoliating agent to remove dead skin cells and promote cell renewal.
- Enhances epidermal turnover, reducing hyperkeratosis and improving skin texture.; Results in smoother, brighter skin with a reduced appearance of dark spots and a more even skin tone.
Mechanism of Action: Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that penetrates the stratum corneum and weakens the bonds between corneocytes, facilitating desquamation and stimulating new cell generation. Enhances epidermal turnover, reducing hyperkeratosis and improving skin texture.
Anti-inflammatory, barrier-strengthening, and skin-brightening agent.
- Reduces redness, improves skin barrier function, and evens skin tone.; Results in healthier, more resilient skin with reduced redness.
Mechanism of Action: Niacinamide inhibits the transfer of melanosomes to keratinocytes, reducing pigmentation. It also enhances ceramide synthesis, improving the skin barrier, and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting cytokine production.
Skin brightening agent with anti-inflammatory properties.
- Reduces the formation of new pigmentation.; Soothes and calms the skin.; Helps to lighten existing dark spots and prevent new ones from forming.
Mechanism of Action: Licorice root extract contains glabridin, which inhibits tyrosinase activity, reducing melanin synthesis. It also has anti-inflammatory effects that soothe the skin.
Tyrosinase inhibitor for depigmentation
