Product Description

This 25 g cream combines multiple active ingredients - Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Glycolic Acid, Zinc Oxide, Vitamin E, Olive Oil, and Aloe Vera - to provide a multi-action dermatological treatment. It is designed to lighten hyperpigmentation, exfoliate dead skin cells, protect against UV damage, nourish, and soothe the skin. The cream targets skin concerns such as melasma, freckles, age spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone by inhibiting melanin production, promoting cell turnover, and providing antioxidant and moisturizing benefits.

Uses

• Treatment of hyperpigmentation, including melasma, freckles, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

• Correction of uneven skin tone and dark spots

• Skin rejuvenation and brightening

• Protection against UV-induced pigmentation and skin damage

• Soothing and moisturizing irritated or sensitive skin

How it works

• Kojic Acid & Arbutin: Both inhibit tyrosinase, the key enzyme in melanin synthesis, reducing melanin production and thus lightening dark spots and pigmentation.

• Glycolic Acid: An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that chemically exfoliates by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover and revealing fresher, brighter skin.

• Zinc Oxide: A physical sunscreen agent providing broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, preventing further pigmentation and photoaging.

• Vitamin E: A potent antioxidant that protects skin cells from free radical damage and supports skin repair, helping prevent premature aging.

• Olive Oil: A natural emollient rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that moisturizes and nourishes the skin, improving softness and barrier function.

• Aloe Vera: Provides soothing, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing effects, reducing irritation, especially when using exfoliating agents like glycolic acid.

Benefits

• Effectively reduces hyperpigmentation and dark spots by inhibiting melanin synthesis.

• Promotes a more even and brighter complexion by exfoliating dead skin cells.

• Protects skin from UV damage that can worsen pigmentation.

• Nourishes and hydrates skin, improving texture and softness.

• Soothes irritation and inflammation, enhancing skin comfort during treatment.

• Helps reduce melasma and post-acne pigmentation with consistent use.

How to use

• Cleanse your face with a gentle, non-irritating cleanser and pat dry.

• Apply a pea-sized amount of cream to fingertips.

• Gently massage a thin layer over the entire face and neck or focus on areas with pigmentation or blemishes.

• Use twice daily (morning and night) or as advised by your dermatologist.

• If the formulation contains glycolic acid, it may be recommended for night use only to reduce sun sensitivity.

• Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning, even on cloudy days, to prevent further pigmentation and protect sensitive skin.

Important precautions

• Perform a patch test before first use by applying a small amount on an inconspicuous area (e.g., inner arm) and waiting 24 hours to check for adverse reactions.

• Start with less frequent application (a few times per week) and gradually increase as tolerated.

• Avoid combining with other strong exfoliants or skin-lightening agents (e.g., retinoids) without dermatologist guidance to prevent irritation.

• Use sun protection diligently, including protective clothing and hats, especially during peak sun hours.

• Discontinue use and consult a dermatologist if severe irritation, redness, or allergic reactions occur.

Side Effects

• Mild skin irritation, redness, itching, stinging, or burning sensation (usually temporary)

• Dryness and flaking as skin adjusts to exfoliation

• Increased photosensitivity due to glycolic acid and skin-lightening agents

Safety Advice

• Consult a dermatologist to confirm suitability for your skin type and pigmentation cause.

• Avoid prolonged sun exposure and always use sunscreen during treatment.

• Avoid use on broken, inflamed, or severely sensitive skin.

• Keep out of eyes and mucous membranes; rinse thoroughly if contact occurs.

Storage Conditions

Store at a temperature below 30°C (86°F) in a cool, dry place.
