Key ingredients
- 1.8 % Tranexamic Acid.
This synthetically-derived ingredient minimises the recurrence of skin discolouration and stubborn brown patches with continued use.
- 5% Niacinamide.
Also known as vitamin B3, this water-soluble vitamin is found naturally in yeast, meat, fish, milk, eggs, green vegetables, beans, and cereal grains. It has been shown to help reduce the appearance of skin discolouration.
- 5% HEPES.
This synthetically derived acid activates natural enzymes in the skin to help break the bonds that hold dead skin cells to the surface, promoting even exfoliation.
