  • Nonapeptide-1
    A brightening peptide that inhibits melanin production, reducing hyperpigmentation and promoting an even skin tone without irritating the skin.

S

  • Salicylic Acid
    A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that exfoliates the skin by penetrating deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil and dead skin cells, making it effective for treating acne.

T

  • Tranexamic Acid
    A brightening ingredient that reduces melanin production and treats hyperpigmentation, melasma, and dark spots while being gentle on the skin.

  • Tyrostat-9
    A plant-based extract that inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, offering a natural and effective way to lighten pigmentation.

Z

  • Zinc PCA
    A combination of zinc and pyrrolidone carboxylic acid that regulates sebum production, reduces acne-causing bacteria, and has anti-inflammatory properties to calm irritated skin.
