Key Ingredients:

• Alpha Arbutin - Extracted from plants such as bearberries, blueberries, and cranberries, Alpha Arbutin is a brightening ingredient which acts as an inhibitor of tyrosinase, a key enzyme involved in producing skin pigment. Alpha Arbutin helps to fade scars, dark marks and pigmentation left behind by breakouts and sun damage.
• Hyaluronic Acid - Hyaluronic Acid molecules have the unique ability to carry a 1,000 times their weight in water, more than any other biological substance. Hyaluronic Acid is also a smart nutrient as it can adjust its moisture absorption rate based on the humidity - relative to the season and the climate. This improves your skin s moisture content whilst at the same time strengthening your skin s barrier, helping your skin to look and feel softer, smoother, and plumper.
• Liquorice - A natural skin brightening ingredient, liquorice extract contains an active called glabridin, which inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme that causes pigmentation in response to sun exposure and is effective for reducing dark spots, hyperpigmentation and dark circles under the eyes. Liquorice also improves the appearance of dry/damaged skin by reducing flaking and restoring suppleness.
