  • BEST SERUM FOR HYPERSENSITIVE SKIN

    I purchased this product twice. I have rosacea prone skin and I choose my serums very carefully. This is this best serum for hyperpigmentation on my skin as it does not trigger rosacea and gives my the results i wanted.

  • REALLY WORKS!

    This is a repeat buy for me. Unfortunately my skin is too sensitive for the vitamin C serum so I’m really happy to have found this!

FAQ

All your questions about the Tranexamic & Arbutin Advanced Brightening Serum

How is this product different from your other brightening products?

Both our 20% and 35% Vitamin C serums offer brightening, firming, and antioxidant protection, while our Mandelic Pigmentation Corrector Night Serum offers optimal pigmentation correction and exfoliation. This new advanced brightening formula takes both the maximal levels of brightening and pigmentation correction of both formulas and puts them into one, but with reduced risk of irritation.

Is the serum vegan?

Yes, the formula is developed respectfully with vegan lifestyle choices.

Can this be used to replace Vitamin C?

While this formula is great for brightening, it does not fully substitute Vitamin C, as our Vitamin C serums have superior antioxidant protection properties, firm skin & boost efficacy of SPF. Both can be used together for a supercharged treatment, as our waterless Vitamin C serums don’t have additional brighteners.

Why has the colour of the formula changed?

The colour of the formula might slightly change as time goes by. This is a known phenomenon which occurs due the potency of active ingredients, such as clinically proven 5% Mushroom Complex. The efficacy of the formula is not affected.

What products/ingredients can this product not be paired with?

This product is ideal for use with Molecular Barrier Recovery Cream Balm in order to help further support post-procedure or post-treatment recovery. Always consult with your doctor or dermatologist when using these products in your post-procedure regimens. Our products containing AHAs, BHA, and/or Retinoids along with this product are also safe for use.

Is this pregnancy safe?

This product contains ingredients that are not suitable for use during pregnancy.

      PRODUCT INFORMATION

      The perfect brightening formula does exist – no exfoliation needed.

      Combining proven brighteners with modern-day clinically backed antioxidants, we've developed our ultimate solution for those dreaming of luminous skin without the effects of exfoliants and reduced risk of irritation.

      We added Diacetyl Boldine & Licorice Complex and a Red Algae & Pea Complex for enhanced effects on evening dullness, increasing luminosity, preventing and fading the appearance of dark spots.

      Even when your skin is sensitized, our serum is the perfect way to help strengthen and support your complexion. Tranexamic Acid helps support the skin barrier, while brighteners and peptides supercharge radiance and firmness. With its liquid-soft, smooth texture, this serum sinks easily into the skin.

      So far so good

      It's only been a few nights of using it. It's thicker than I thought but it sinks right in. So far no irritation :)
