Brighten and smooth. A patented, advanced non-hydroquinone formulation that blends cutting-edge brightening technologies — Nonapeptide-1, non-staining turmeric, alpha-arbutin, hexylresorcinol, concentrated licorice root extract, all-trans-retinol, green tea extract, and bisabolol — to address multiple pathways of uneven skin tone while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Shown in a blinded split-face study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology to outperform the gold standard (4% hydroquinone), with superior results and patient satisfaction.
