“Improves skin turnover function with tranexamic acid by preventing skin roughness, making skin even-textured and inhibiting melanin production and prevent dark spots and freckles.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: tranexamic acid
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.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Tranexamic acid + 10 moreWorks
“Beauty Microbiome will help increase skin moisture content and retain skin's moisture.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": erythritol, glycerin.
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).
