Antioxidants found on the walls of plant cells have the ability to prevent hyperpigmentation and dull skin.

Alpha arowbutin is a natural antioxidant found in plant sources such asmubei, bearberry, and5gores. This content has the ability to inhibit melanin production. It is very effective against black spots, aging spots, and post-inflammatory pigmentation.

Glycolate acid is one of the most important, easy to use, and cost-effective exfoliators. If used properly, the exfoliation process helps clean dead skin cells and shows better skin tone.
