Key Ingredients

LICORICE ROOT
Extracted from a perennial herb native to Europe, Asia and the Middle East, Licorice Root Extract has been used medicinally since 500 B.C. An effective complement to a routine focused on skin brightening, clarity and evenness, Licorice Root is known for its soothing and calming properties.

ACTIVATED C
Activated C, which is a stabilized form of Vitamin C that specifically addresses uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, goes to work immediately upon contact with the skin. Within our formula, Activated C helps visibly diminish the look of dullness and uneven skin tone and helps increase clarity and brightness for a healthy-looking, more radiant complexion.

WHITE BIRCH EXTRACT
White Birch Extract is a sugar-derived ingredient known for its ability to restore hydration and nutrients to the skin. In our skincare products, this potent active ingredient works with Activated C to help even skin tone.
How to Use
