Product Details:

The active ingredients in this product are 1% Kojic Acid, 0.2% LHA, and 5.7% Glycolic Acid. What do these ingredients mean? Kojic Acid is a mild inhibitor of the formation of pigment in plant and animal tissues, and is used in food and cosmetics to preserve or change colors of substances. It is in this product to help reduce the appearance of dark spots. LHA is innovative derivative of salicylic acid. It is an exfoliating agent which unblocks the pores and breaks down dead skin cells. Glycolic Acid is the primary ingredient in most chemical peels. In smaller doses, it still provides intense exfoliation to help reduce the size and color intensity of dark spots and help even skin tone.

We would recommend this product to you if you are seeking a product that will effectively reduce discoloration and dark spots on the face. It’s costs about $60 for one fluid ounce, which is an investment, but we feel confident that this product will deliver results. It does not contain any harmful ingredients and provides adequate information about their product. Overall, we like the product and see that it has potential.
