Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-22
What is this product?
A rich brightening cream that stacks niacinamide, tranexamic acid, two forms of vitamin C and alpha-arbutin in a shea-butter and wax base, so it suits dry or normal skin wanting tone care, but may feel heavy for oily skin. Fragrance is present and no concentrations are disclosed.
What makes it different?
The formula puts several brightening actives in the top of the list: niacinamide sits eighth, tranexamic acid thirteenth, ascorbic acid fifteenth, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate seventeenth and alpha-arbutin eighteenth. Plant extracts occupy the middle of the list and five peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 through palmitoyl hexapeptide-12) sit in the mid-list range 33 to 37, with adenosine at 54. The base is a heavy occlusive build with shea butter second, beeswax twelfth, paraffin and microcrystalline wax, which is unusual for a brightening cream. Concentrations, the pH and any clinical testing are not disclosed on the brand page.
