The Vitamin C 8% Brightening & Firming Night Cream utilizes a powerful combination of antioxidants, brightening agents, and hydrators to target pigmentation issues, repair environmental damage, and enhance skin elasticity.

Vitamin C (8%)

Vitamin C, in the form of L-ascorbic acid, works by neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by UV radiation and pollution, which cause oxidative damage to the skin. At a molecular level, Vitamin C inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is crucial for melanin synthesis, reducing hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Vitamin C also supports collagen production by promoting the activity of prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase, enzymes responsible for collagen stabilization, which leads to firmer and more elastic skin.

Alpha Arbutin (2%)

Alpha Arbutin is a safe and effective tyrosinase inhibitor that lightens dark spots and reduces hyperpigmentation without causing irritation. By disrupting melanosome maturation and reducing melanin transfer to keratinocytes, Alpha Arbutin fades post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and prevents new spots from forming. Its targeted action makes it ideal for addressing dark spots, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.

Niacinamide (3%)

Niacinamide is a highly versatile ingredient that addresses multiple skin concerns. It reduces melanosome transfer between melanocytes and keratinocytes, thereby lightening dark spots and improving skin tone. Niacinamide also enhances the skin’s barrier function by increasing ceramide synthesis, which strengthens the lipid barrier and prevents moisture loss. Its anti-inflammatory properties reduce redness and irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Additionally, Niacinamide boosts skin elasticity by modulating collagen production and inhibiting the effects of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes that degrade collagen in response to UV damage.

Ferulic Acid (0.5%)

Ferulic Acid is a plant-derived phenolic antioxidant that stabilizes Vitamin C, protecting it from oxidation and enhancing its photoprotective properties. Ferulic Acid absorbs UV radiation and neutralizes free radicals like superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals, reducing the oxidative stress that leads to skin aging and pigmentation. By working synergistically with Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid amplifies the antioxidant defense system, ensuring the skin remains protected from environmental aggressors.

Hyaluronic Acid (1%)

Hyaluronic Acid is a glycosaminoglycan that binds water to the skin, creating a hydration reservoir in the extracellular matrix. This moisture-retention capacity keeps the skin plump, hydrated, and smooth by reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Hyaluronic Acid also improves the penetration of active ingredients like Vitamin C, ensuring maximum effectiveness while maintaining skin elasticity and resilience.

Green Tea Extract (1%)

Green Tea is rich in polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which provides powerful antioxidant protection by neutralizing free radicals. Green Tea also has anti-inflammatory properties, as it inhibits NF-κB signaling and reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This helps soothe irritated or inflamed skin while protecting against oxidative damage caused by UV exposure and pollution.

Together, these ingredients work to brighten the skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve elasticity while hydrating and protecting against environmental damage. This night cream helps rejuvenate the skin overnight, resulting in a brighter, firmer complexion by morning.
