Key actives and what they do
-
Small-Molecule Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) — Vitamin C is one of the most well-researched brightening and antioxidant actives in skincare. The small-molecule form used in this formula has a lower molecular weight than standard Vitamin C, allowing deeper penetration into the skin for more effective delivery of the active. Vitamin C works as a potent antioxidant that neutralises free radicals caused by UV exposure, pollution, and environmental stressors — the primary drivers of dullness and uneven skin tone. It also inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for melanin production, helping to visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation with consistent use. Additionally, Vitamin C supports the skin’s natural collagen synthesis process, contributing to visibly firmer, more supple skin over time.
-
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) — A humectant that draws moisture into the skin and helps retain it. Delivers immediate and lasting hydration, plumping the skin surface and reducing the appearance of fine dehydration lines. Works synergistically with Vitamin C to ensure the skin remains hydrated and comfortable throughout the brightening process.
-
Snow Mushroom (Tremella Fuciformis) — A traditional Chinese botanical ingredient that has been used in skincare for centuries. Snow Mushroom is often called “the plant-based hyaluronic acid” — its polysaccharides have a similar water-binding capacity to hyaluronic acid but with a larger molecular size, meaning they form a flexible, breathable film on the skin surface that locks in moisture without occlusion. Snow Mushroom also has antioxidant properties and a skin-softening effect that leaves the complexion visibly smoother and more supple.
-
Glycerin — A humectant that works alongside Hyaluronic Acid and Snow Mushroom to attract and retain moisture in the skin. Also helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier function and adds a conditioning effect.
What to expect
Immediate: a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that leaves skin feeling hydrated and soft. After 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use: visibly brighter, more even skin tone; reduced appearance of dark spots and dullness; improved skin texture and hydration. Results are appearance-based and build progressively.
