Information

MULTI-PATHWAY BRIGHTENING SYSTEM

A highly-saturated, ultra-lightweight, emollient solution incorporating modern advances in biotechnology and peptide technology to fight signs of one of the most complex-to-treat dermal concerns: hyperpigmentation. This formula visibly counteracts both uneven pigmentation, such as spots, as well as overall pigmentation issues through several pathways. This multi-pathway approach optimizes the synergy between the technologies in contrast to networked technologies that approach visible pigmentation through the same mechanisms.

CORE ACTIVE BRIGHTENING TECHNOLOGIES

Diglucosyl Gallic Acid
An alpha-glucoside derivative of trihydroxy benzoic acid, derived through biotechnology, this active is sixty times more potent than kojic acid in visibly brightening skin tone.

Acetyl Glycyl Beta Alanine
A patented brightening peptide solution with a very low molecular weight of less than 200 daltons achieves extremely efficient penetration that is fundamental to its visible influence on skin radiance.

White Shiitake Ferment
An extraordinarily-high concentration of this purified bio-derivative targets the appearance of dark spots starting within less than a week of use.

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (Azeloyl Glycine)
A dicarboxylic acid derivative, this patented technology is formed through condensation of Azelaic Acid and Glycine, offering far better visible brightening and anti-redness activity than Azelaic Acid itself.

Encapsulated Oligopeptide-68
Fully-solubilized, encapsulated liposomal oligopeptide complex reduces the appearance of UV-induced pigmentation with continued use.

Solubilized Tetrapeptide-30
Patented high-saturation peptide complex visibly reduces contrast between areas of varying dermal pigmentation.

Red Evodia Fruit Derivatives
Borrowed from traditional Chinese medicine, a modern high-purity derivatives of the Red Evodia fruit encourages radiance and evenness starting with the very first application.

SUPPORTING ACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Lipo-Oligopeptides Delivery System
This nonapeptide complex enhances the delivery of the technologies in the formula.

Microfiltered Klamath Lake Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae
Obtained through biomass processing, this non-core support technology is a marine derivative with exceptional antioxidant and hydration properties.

Directions

Shake lightly. Apply serum to face AM and PM. If used as part of a NIOD regimen, apply after CAIS but before MMHC. Avoid unprotected UV exposure when using this formula. If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Refer to our in-depth guide to patch testing. Keep out of reach of children.
