Science-Backed Brightening

Formulated with multi-pathway brightening actives, this serum works to interrupt the formation of melanin and promote natural cell turnover for visible clarity and smoothness. Tranexamic acid and kojic acid work synergistically to reduce discoloration, while niacinamide improves tone and supports barrier health. HEPES, an exfoliating activator, enhances penetration for maximum efficacy and results.
