FOR DARK SKIN

Glycolic Acid
Smallest and most effective alpha hydroxy acid derived from sugar cane. Exfoliates epidermis, promotes epidermolysis, disperses basal layer melanin and stimulates the growth of new skin. Reduces amount of the surface skin oil.

Mandelic acid
Alpha hydroxy acid derived from bitter almonds. Has depigmenting properties, inhibits melanin synthesis, exfoliates and rejuvenates skin.

Kojic Acid
Whitening agent. Inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, prevents the formation of melanin.

Arbutin
Naturaly occuring beta-D-glucopyranoside of hydroquinone, extracted from the bearberry plant.  Acts by reversibly suppressing melanosomal tyrosinase activity and  thus prevents the synthesis of melanocytes. Works synergistically with kojic acid and enhances lightening effect.

Xanthan Gum
Natural viscosity regulator
