Here we explain why we have chosen the ingredients used in our DB Bright Skin Dark Spot Corrector.
Read on to find out how this balanced product can benefit you.
Kojic acids' primary benefit is to lighten sun damage, age spots, or scars. This has an anti-aging impact on the skin. In addition, kojic acid has antibacterial characteristics. This can help with the treatment of acne. kojic acid also doubles up as a mild AHA; it can help give your skin good exfoliation.
Azelaic acid is good for treating comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) and inflammatory acne. It also prevents hyperpigmentation by reducing the formation of discoloured cells.
Lactic acid regulates the pH, or acidity and alkalinity, and keeps your skin balanced, which allows other ingredients to be absorbed. Lactic acid is an AHA and contains exfoliating properties. It also contains humectants, which can draw water to the skin, making it more hydrating.
Hyaluronic acid is naturally in our bodies. It's one of the best hydrating compounds available because it's a natural moisturiser, able to bind 1000 times its weight in water. As a result, hyaluronic acid improves product absorption.
Glycolic acid is an excellent AHA exfoliant for brightening the face and treating discoloration, leaving skin appearing glowy and refreshed while improving the texture to make it smoother. It works on the dermis' deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen. Translation? It's anti-aging and works well on slight wrinkles.
Salicylic acid relieves acne by lowering swelling and redness and unplugging clogged pores, allowing spots to diminish. It cures other skin concerns by softening and loosening dry, scaly, or thicker skin, allowing it to fall off or be removed. Salicylic acid is oil soluble and can reach deeper into the pores to dissolve the excess oil your pores create. Our concentration of salicylic acid is 1.5%, and this is a safe and balanced level to avoid leading to any irritation and causing dryness and discomfort. If the levels of salicylic acid are too high (generally more than 2.5%), it can cause undesirable effects that include tingling or stinging of the skin.
Niacinamide decreases inflammation and helps lessen the redness related to eczema, acne, and other inflammatory skin problems. In addition, it diminishes the appearance of pores. Niacinamide is great for keeping your skin's oil under control.
Centella Asiatica boosts antioxidant activity in the skin, which causes it to strengthen and increase blood circulation. Therefore, Centella Asiatica extract is an effective ingredient in anti-aging cosmetics and improves skin hydration.
Aloe vera is a rich source of antioxidants and vitamins. Aloe vera has been shown to offset the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, repair your skin from existing UV damage, and help prevent fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, applying aloe vera to your skin may help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmented areas, though it won't completely get rid of these darker spots by itself.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Vitamin E is commonly used for its benefits used for skin health and appearance and can be applied to your face and body to reduce inflammation and make your skin look younger.
The dark spots on your face and other body parts fade away when vitamin E is applied. Vitamin E also helps repair skin collagen, reduces puffiness, and nourishes and soothes the skin.
Alpha arbutin can brighten dark spots, reduce the appearance of pigmentation, and inhibit new areas of discoloration from developing. It works by inhibiting an enzyme known as tyrosinase within melanocytes. Melanocytes control your melanin production. It works to fade sun spots, age spots, acne scars, and pregnancy/menopausal melasma. Arbutin may take an average of 2-4 months to show the first signs of improvement. Consistency is the key here.
4-Butylresorcinol is the most potent inhibitor for tyrosinase by a large margin. It offers good stability in skincare formulations and gives an even tone to the skin.
Keeping your face smooth and hydrated will naturally reduce pore size, oil production and pigmentation over time.
The key to great skin is having a balance that will solve more than one concern without adding several products to counteract the effects of another. DB Bright Skin is no ordinary serum; skincare professionals have developed it to create harmony for your skin and give you results continuously.
