A more effective, faster and safer approach to skin lightening.

Our oil free Fading Gel will help to reduce the appearance of dark spots and discolorations. The combination Alpha Arbutin and Lactic acid will quickly remove troublesome spots. It is recommended for all types of non-sensitive skin including oily and problem. Repeated daily use required to achieve desired results. Best results are seen after 4-6 weeks of use. Use of sun protection is required.

Directions

Apply after cleansing and toning, follow with a sun protection cream in the morning or a night cream in the evening to help prevent future discolorations. *If you do not apply a sunblock daily you will continue to get more discolorations. It is still possible to get more pigmentation even with sunblock. It is best to use a sunblock of at least 50+ every single day to keep your skin healthy. Wear a wide-brimmed hat when you will be in the sun for a prolonged period along with your sunblock.

What is Alpha Arbutin?

ALPHA-ARBUTIN is a pure, water-soluble, biosynthetic active ingredient. ALPHA- ARBUTIN promotes lightening and an even skin tone on all skin types. ALPHA-ARBUTIN blocks epidermal melanin biosynthesis by inhibiting enzymatic oxidation of tyrosine and Dopa.

ALPHA-ARBUTIN acts faster, safer and more efficiently than commonly used single components such as hydroquinone, Kojic acid... You will find that is does not cause the irritation that Hydroquinone does, AND it works much more efficiently!

Technical background

The skin color is determined by the interaction of different colorants. Indeed, the red staining agent of blood, hemoglobin, is responsible for reddish and bluish shades, while carotenoids are responsible for the basic yellow shade of skin. The brown coloration results from the pigments eumelanin and phaeomelanin, which are produced in special epidermal cells, the so-called melanocytes. The enzyme tyrosinase, usually present in an inactive form, is formed in these melanocytes. Its activation by UV light triggers off melanogenesis, i.e. a complex series of enzymatic chemical reactions which finally lead to the formation of melanins. The efficient blocking of tyrosinase inhibits the reaction chain of melanogenesis. Today many developments target efficient and fast enzyme-blocking properties without any side effects.
