  • 1% Kojic Acid
    Naturally produced by certain fungi, kojic acid helps improve skin brightness.
  • 5% Niacinamide
    Also known as vitamin B3, this water-soluble vitamin is found naturally in yeast, meat, fish, milk, eggs, green vegetables, beans, and cereal grains. It has been shown to help reduce the appearance of skin discoloration.

    This synthetically-derived acid activates natural enzymes in skin to help break the bonds that bind dead skin cells to the surface for even exfoliation.
