Dark spots form when certain areas of skin produce excess melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This formula works by interrupting that process right where it's concentrated, which is why it's applied as a targeted spot treatment rather than across the whole face.
Here's what the active does:
- Hydroquinone — a prescription-strength melanin inhibitor applied precisely to dark patches to correct concentrated areas of pigmentation directly
Two supporting ingredients round it out: Centella Asiatica extract, which soothes the skin around treated areas and helps reduce irritation from a concentrated active, and ceramides, which support your skin barrier in treated areas to keep them comfortable and resilient throughout correction.
