A highly targeted, minimalist brightening liquid. By restricting the formula to only 8 ingredients, it drastically lowers the risk of cosmetic contact dermatitis. The clinical 2 percent concentration of Alpha Arbutin serves as a potent tyrosinase inhibitor to block melanin formation. It is buffered beautifully by Cucumber Extract and Rosa Damascena Water to soothe the skin. Because it uses Alpha Arbutin instead of pure Vitamin C, it effectively fades dark spots without the stinging or low-pH burning associated with traditional brighteners.
