What Makes Our Dark Spot Remover Work?

Hydrolyzed Oat Protein 

Hydrolyzed Oat Protein is a hydrating complex derived from oats, which have been used for centuries to soothe a number of skin conditions. Hydrolyzed Oat Protein deeply nourished and hydrates your skin and helps it retain moisture. While it doesn’t have any skin-lightening benefits, it helps keep your skin plump and supple. 

Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate 

This ingredient doesn’t have any skin-lightening properties either, but Sodium Hyaluronate holds 1,000 times its weight in water, which makes it an exceptionally effective moisturizer. It helps revitalize your skin, aids in wound healing (acne), and because it’s a smaller molecule it allows for deeper and more effective penetration into the skin. 

Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a type of Vitamin C that is stable and has great skin brightening benefits. The chemical structure of Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is unique in that it is much more stable that other forms of Vitamin C. Regular application of this little miracle ingredient will help lighten sun damage and age spots, even out your complexion, and restore your skin’s youthful glow! 

Alpha-Arbutin

This ingredient also has some great skin-brightening benefits. This natural skin lightening agent works by slowly releasing hydroquinone through hydrolysis, which consequently reduces your skin’s melanin production. This helps reduce dark spots on your skin and reverse damage. 

There are lots of reasons why dark spots occur, it could be due to sun damage, hormones, medications, inflammation, or wounds (like acne). Our Dark Spot Remover & Correcting Serum can help nourish your skin and fade out signs of photodamage and discoloration, but if you have a lot of dark spots, you might want to consider a more intensive approach to treatment. Laser treatments in combination with a daily skincare regime can take years off your skin’s appearance.
