Active Ingredients:
Hydroquinone - Suppresses melanocyte activity, thereby reducing hyperpigmentation
Kojic Acid - A tyrosine (amino acid) inhibitor that also can reduce UV caused inflammation. It is believed to accelerate wound healing. Kojic acid has been used as a skin-lightener in Japan for many years. It is naturally derived from mushrooms.
Glycolic Acid - This ingredient dissolves the intercellular cement responsible for abnormal keratinization. In acne-prone skin, this is of particular importance as the pore is clogged and filled with keratinized dead cells. Glycolic Acid helps with dry and oily conditions alike. It dissolves the dry and thick layers of the skin and unclogs the pores as well as helping other nourishing products and ingredients to penetrate. The stimulation achieved by a therapeutic glycolic product also increases circulation, smoothes uneven skin, and improves the overall function of the skin. Another well-known benefit of glycolic acid is its ability to dissolve and lighten surface hyperpigmentation, often seen in acne prone skin.
Urea - Known for its anti-inflammatory properties as well as its ability to regulate the hydro lipid mantle. It helps increase the absorption of other active ingredients and relieves itching as well as dissolves follicular debris in the corneum layer.
Licorice Extract (glycyrrhiza glabra) - This botanical extract has been used for hundreds of years for skin care. It is a native from Europe and China. Its benefits include; suppressing melanin formation in the skin and is considered an antioxidant. It is non-allergic, non-irritating, soothing, anti-inflammatory, and has an effect similar to hydrocortisone.
Willow Bark Extract (salix) - This herbal extract has been used for centuries. It is a very mild, but effective ingredient. Its most common properties are antiseptic, astringent, and anti-inflammatory. Willow extract comes from the bark of the Salix tree and produces “Salicin”, which is a glucoside, salicylic acid. It may also help reduce skin irritations.
