Product details

A dropper bottle of Abib Glutathiosome dark spot serum on a warm ivory table in golden sunlight, beside glossy drops of amber serum

Brighten + even

Glutathione capsules, three forms of vitamin C and niacinamide in a light serum for dark spots and dull tone.

Abib wraps glutathione into tiny orange capsules it calls Glutathiosome, which burst as you pat the serum in. Vitamin C fades the look of existing spots, niacinamide helps stop new pigment from showing, and centella keeps the formula gentle enough for sensitive skin.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Glutathione

    An antioxidant Abib packs into fine capsules that burst on contact, for a radiant, even-looking complexion.

    No. 26, 29 of 42 on the list

  • Niacinamide

    Vitamin B3, high on the list. It helps reduce the transfer of pigment, so dark spots look less pronounced over time.

    No. 3 of 42 on the list

  • Vitamin C trio

    Pure vitamin C and two stable derivatives fade the appearance of existing dark spots.

    No. 33, 34, 35 of 42 on the list

  • Centella + ceramide

    Calming centella compounds and a barrier-supporting ceramide keep skin comfortable while it brightens.

    No. 9, 27, 32, 36 of 42 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Irish moss
  • Chlorella
  • Sugarcane
  • Apple cell culture
  • Ferulic acid
  • Vitamin E
