Evens skin toneAlpha-arbutinWorks well
“α-Arbutin: A brightening ingredient that works on tyrosinase, which produces melanin, which causes age spots, freckles, and sunburn, to bring a radiant translucency.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: alpha-arbutin
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
MoisturizingGlucose, Glycerin + 2 moreWorks
“The doctor select CO2 gel pack is made using a unique method (botanical moisture gel structure) that contains tamarind (a botanical moisturizing ingredient).”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, glucose.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
