Multi-Factor Brightening Créme

Kojic Acid is a naturally derived brightening agent produced during the fermentation of certain fungi, and it has a long track record in skincare for reducing the appearance of dark spots, uneven tone, and hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called tyrosinase, which plays a key role in melanin production — the process that creates dark spots. At 3%, Kojic Acid in this formula complements the Tranexamic Acid (which disrupts the signaling that triggers melanin overproduction) and the Azelaic Acid (which normalizes skin cell turnover and reduces pigment transfer) to address discoloration through multiple mechanisms simultaneously. The result is a broader, more comprehensive brightening effect than any single ingredient can deliver alone.

Our Multi-Factor Brightening Creme can continue to develop over time – changing from a dark beige to a darker chocolate color. The change is color does not affect the product’s efficacy or function. Upon application it absorbs and functions the same.

Absolutely! The two products work very well together to address hyperpigmentation.

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid found in grains like wheat, rye, and barley. It’s used in skincare primarily for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it effective for treating conditions like acne and rosacea. It can also help to reduce pigmentation and even out skin tone.

While this product will help improve the appearance of blemished skin and reduce the appearance of acne scars, you may have to use a separate product to address the underlying causes of blemishes.

Tranexamic Acid is a skin brightening powerhouse said to be on par with hydroquinone without its negative issues. It helps fade discoloration, brighten skin, and reduces the appearance of acne scars.
