Key Ingredients
- Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon Zest) is a natural enzyme to digest dead skin cells. Lemon also clarifies the skin, acts as a natural antioxidant, and lightens the skin.
- L-Ascorbic Acid is the chirally correct form of Vitamin C and the most effective for the skin to stimulate collagen production. L-Ascorbic Vitamin C is the only antioxidant that has been proven to increase collagen synthesis to maintain healthy skin.
- Alpha-Arbutin (8%) is a non-irritating skin brightener. It is a excellent alternative to hydroquinone.
- L-Lactic Acid (6%) is an alpha hydroxy acid working as an exfoliant, allowing dead skin cells to slough off and making room for regrowth of new skin. It improves wrinkling and roughness, and it softens the skin.
- Glycolic Acid (3%) weakens desmosomes, allowing dead skin cells to slough off to reveal healthier, smoother, brighter looking skin.
- Kojic Acid (2%) inhibits melanin production by inhibiting tyrosinase. It also provides gradual and continual skin brightening to relieve skin discolorations.
- Sugar Cane Extract is a natural AHA; gentle exfoliant.
- Gluconic Acid provides gentle exfoliation, evens skin tone, antioxidant support and promotes electrolyte balance within the skin.
- Lycopene is a carotenoid; for antioxidant support.
