If your skin is dull, uneven or prone to dark spots, this is a solid everyday brightening serum that works without irritating sensitive skin. More than half the formula is Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides) Water rather than plain water - Sea Buckthorn is one of nature's richest sources of Vitamin C and antioxidants, so the brightening starts at the base of the formula before the added actives even come in.

On top of that: 5% Niacinamide to even out skin tone and keep pores in check, Tranexamic Acid to fade stubborn dark spots, a stable Vitamin C derivative (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) that stays effective in the bottle, and Alpha-Arbutin as a fourth brightening layer. Ceramide NP, Beta-Glucan, Bifida Ferment Lysate and Ubiquinone (CoQ10) support the skin barrier and add antioxidant depth. Fragrance-free, colour-free, vegan. 30ml.

Star Ingredients

63% Hippophae Rhamnoides Water - Sea Buckthorn botanical water as the primary base for systemic vitamin-dense brightening.

5% Niacinamide - melanin transfer inhibition, barrier support and sebum regulation.

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid + Ascorbic Acid - stable Vitamin C derivative plus direct antioxidant Vitamin C.

Alpha-Arbutin - tyrosinase inhibition for tone-evening.

Key Benefits

63% Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Water as the primary base delivers one of the most vitamin-dense botanical extracts commercially available - naturally concentrated in Vitamin C, beta-carotene, Vitamin E and fatty acids - throughout the entire formula rather than as a trace addition.
Five-mechanism brightening complex (Niacinamide 5%, Tranexamic Acid 2%, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Alpha-Arbutin) targets melanin at multiple points in the production pathway simultaneously for more comprehensive tone-evening than single-active brightening serums.
Transexamic Acid at 2% suppresses plasmin-driven melanin penetration - a mechanism distinct from tyrosinase inhibition, addressing a different route of hyperpigmentation that other brighteners miss.
Alpha-Arbutin inhibits tyrosinase (the enzyme that initiates melanin synthesis) and is one of the better-tolerated brightening actives for sensitive skin at meaningful concentrations.
Fragrance-free, artificial colour-free, vegan. Note: contains Ascorbic Acid - use SPF the following morning.
