Product summary
What can the product work for?
Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Featuring our Tri-Ceramide Complex and a blend of skin-compatible Urea and Niacinamide to brighten skin and improve hyperpigmentation, this fast-absorbing lotion effectively hydrates and replenishes moisture levels with each use.
niacinamide
1.7% -
2.1%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH
Is proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture.
The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production
lactic acid
0.1% -
0.15%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiome)
