The pharmaceutical grade Vitamin C in this formula, L-Ascorbic Acid USP, is the purest, most potent, and bio-available form of Vitamin C available. Traditionally difficult to stabilize in formulations, this gold-standard ingredient is a cornerstone of Advanced Skin Lightening Serum, made possible by our exclusive IntraDermal System (IDS)®. This proprietary delivery system protects the Vitamin C and enhances penetration into all skin layers, with 2x more Vitamin C retention in the skin overall and 4x more in the dermis, while resisting oxidation to maintain maximum potency and consistent, visible results.
As Hydroquinone inhibits the production of melanin for powerful brightening benefits, its use is recommended in short-term treatments (up to 12 weeks) to prevent irritation, resistance, or adverse effects. To maintain results and avoid rebound hyperpigmentation we recommend Radiance Serum, our hydroquinone-free brightening serum, after a cycle of 12 weeks of Advanced Skin Lightening Serum in addition to ongoing protection from UV exposure with SPF 30+.MEDICINAL INGREDIENT:

It functions by effectively inhibiting melanin production through the suppression of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in pigment formation. Its use is recommended in short-term treatments (up to 12 weeks) to prevent irritation, resistance, or adverse effects. To maintain results and avoid rebound hyperpigmentation we recommend Radiance Serum, our hydroquinone-free brightening serum, after a cycle of 12 weeks of Advanced Skin Lightening Serum in addition to ongoing protection from UV exposure with SPF 30+.
