Retinol (0.5%) – Vitamin A that is converted to retinoic acid in the skin. Retinol promotes skin renewal, proliferation of new healthy cells, helps brighten the skin, and reduces signs of aging.
Niacinamide (4.4%) – A powerful antioxidant with numerous benefits: helps prevent moisture loss, strengthens the protective functions of the skin barrier, reduces redness, brightens the skin, and evens out skin tones.
Resveratrol (1%) – A potent antioxidant that helps brighten the skin and even out skin tone. It inhibits melanin production.
Hexylresorcinol (1.1%) – Helps even out skin tones, soothes irritated skin, and helps prevent future skin tone irregularities.
After cleansing in the evening, apply a pea-sized amount to the face. Start using it twice a week and gradually increase to every other day. Finally, if the skin tolerates it, use daily. This is important to avoid excessive skin irritation, redness, and dryness. However, some mild irritation and redness are expected and are not a complication.
It is critically important to use sunscreen during the day.
