Ingredient Function
Alpha-Arbutin 2% Potent tyrosinase inhibitor that reduces melanin production and helps fade dark spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Butylresorcinol A tyrosinase inhibitor ~20× stronger than kojic acid; supports pigmentation reduction.
Ferulic Acid Antioxidant that protects from photoaging and enhances stability of actives.
Lactic Acid Gently exfoliates, promotes cell turnover to brighten skin.
Sodium Hyaluronate Deep hydration, improving skin plumpness and barrier.
Aloe Vera Juice Soothes and calms sensitive skin.

No added fragrance, alcohol, parabens, silicones, sulfates, essential oils, or dyes.

Alpha-Arbutin competitively inhibits tyrosinase, reducing melanin synthesis without altering gene expression.

Butylresorcinol provides rapid pigment lightening via stronger tyrosinase inhibition.

Ferulic acid enhances free-radical protection and actives' stability.

Lactic acid gently exfoliates, improving product penetration.
