What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Madecassoside (MadeWhite)

  • Triple brightening complex

    Niacinamide brightens, tranexamic acid helps reduce the look of dark spots, and ethyl ascorbic acid is a vitamin C derivative made to stay stable. Together they even out a dull, uneven tone.

    No. 3, 5, 25 of 26 on the list
