Kojic Acid:

Kojic Acid was discovered as a natural product derived form a mushroom in Japan in 1989. It has been successfully used to Lighten pigment spots and skin discoloration and considered as a kind of popularly speciallized inhibitor for melanin. At present, it is assigned into various kinds of cosmetics for curing freckles, spots on the skin of elder men, pigmentation and acne.

Kojic acid can produce excellent effects in evenly toning the skin, fighting age spots, pregnancy marks, and freckles, as well as general skin pigmentation disorders of face and body.

It is a 98% pure and natural material. Kojic acid has a better inhibitory effect on tyrosinase than any other skin whitening agents! Kojic acid may help diminish or eliminate sun freckles, melasma or other pigmentation when used correctly.

Benefits of Kojic acid:

1. Pigmentation reduction - Besides freckles and melasma there are many types of pigmentation problems that may be treated with Kojic acid, because it stops the production of pigment. Kojic acid attacks the root of the pigmentation source by inhibiting the production of melanin.

2.Eliminate skin blemishes-Reduce age spots, fine lines, and acne scars.

3.Freckles-All people have pigment-producing cells in our skin called melanocytes that produce melanin, which our skin uses to shield itself from the sun and other environmental hazards. While this pigment protects us from the sun, our melanocytes can become damaged if our skin receives too much sun exposure. The result of damaged melanocytes is often an abundance of melanin fed into the dermis. This process results in small brown spots called freckles. Kojic acid dipalmitate fights freckles topically by countering the melanin in the area to whiten the skin.

4.Melasma-Melasma is a darkening of the skin, in larger sections than freckles, that is the result of over-productive melanocytes. Melasma may occur due to overexposure to the sun or cellular hypersensitivity. Kojic acid is found for reduction of melasma spots. If you have melasma, you should avoid the sun as much as possible and use a Kojic acid products.

Alpha Arbutin:

Alpha-Arbutin(4-Hydroxyphenyl-a-D-glucopyranoside) is a pure, water soluble. biosynthetic active ingredient. Alpha-Arbutin blocks epidermal melanin synthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of Tyrosine and Dopa. Arbutin has fewer side effects than hydroquinone of similar concentrations - presumably due to the more gradual release. It is a more effective, faster, and safer approach to promoting skin - brightening and an even skin tone for all skin types. Alpha Arbutin also minimizes liver spots and meets all the requirements of a modern skin-brightening and skin depigmentation product. Alpha Arbutin is a gentle but powerful lightening agent that comes from the bearberry tree. It brings the benefits of strong melanin inhibitors such as hydroquinone, but without the odor, toxicity, and potential side-effects. Alpha Arbutin is quite simply a natural and effective alternative to other skin lightening chemical.

What it does:

-Reduces fine lines and wrinkles

-Hydrates and firms skin

-Evens skin tone(removes dark or brown spots)

-Protects the skin from negative affects from sun

Vitamin B3(Niacinamide):

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) is the water soluble form of niacin, an essential vitamin for healthy cell metabolism and is part of the B group. Vitamin B3 Niacinamide is a highly active, safe, and non-irritating cosmeceutical ingredient.

-Demonstrated anti-inflammatory actions that may be of benefit to inflammatory conditions including acne. Blocking actions known to precipitate or exacerbate inflammatory acne.

-Improves functional and structural integrity of the skin barrier by stimulating ceramide. Theoretically, by improving barrier integrity, niacinamide may help the skin become more resistant to external irritants.

-Studies have shown topical niacinamade to be effective in improving skin texture, evening out skin tone and improves appearance of aged, hyperpigmented and photodamaged skin.

-Effective active with anti-wrinkle properties, reducing the severity of fine lines by stimulating collagen, the connective tissue responsible for skin suppleness.

Niacinamide is an excellent skin lightening agent that works by disrupting the transfer of melanosome from the melanocyte to the keratinocyte. Commonl known niacinamide at 2% has been shown to reduce water loss in the skin and retain fatty acid levels. It has also been proven at high concentrations(between 3-4%) to be a very effective acne reducer. Clinical research has shown niacinamide to be just as effective as the topical antibiotic Clindamycin at treating acne. Obviously niacinamide doesn't run the risk of resistance, since it is not an antibiotic.

Hyaluronic Acid:

Hyaluronic acid, also known as HA, is a natural compound found in skin that has many important functions, including holding in moisture, providing cushioning, aiding in tissue repair, holding together the skin structural components collagen and elastin..

Keep in mind, that even when you see an improvement, you need to avoid sun as a major factor of skin discoloration.

Wear sunblock and try to cover exposed areas, use hats, long sleeves and pants, gloves.

In general, most individuals saw results after 12 weeks of daily usage and saw a reduction of 40-70% of pigmentation. Like with most other skin lightening compounds, our Kojic acid, Alpha Arbutin, Vitamin B3 Niacinamide serum has an inhibitory effect and in order to get the most out of it, you must be wearing sunscreen everyday and exfoliate often to ensure a complete melanin inhibiting process.
