Collection: Brightening Complex

Best for: Tone, radiance 

What it is: 

Brightening Complex is a newly developed, six-active blend — Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Lactobionic Acid, Carnosine, and Nonapeptide-1 — built to tone the skin in parallel with resurfacing. It's the one genuinely new technology in this formula, working toward a more even, luminous-looking complexion. 

How it works: 

Each active in the complex plays a distinct role: Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid help interrupt the transfer of melanin that leads to uneven tone; Mandelic and Lactobionic Acids support gentle surface renewal alongside that tone-evening work; Carnosine offers antioxidant support; and Nonapeptide-1, a signaling peptide, communicates directly with the skin's pigment-producing cells to help support a more even tone from the source. 

Backed by research: 

In laboratory testing, Brightening Complex has been shown to help inhibit the visible signs of melanin deposition and to support the skin's natural collagen production — with an approximate 105% increase in fibroblast collagen observed in vitro. As with any in-vitro data, these results describe the ingredient's laboratory performance and support — rather than guarantee — the visible tone benefits reported with regular use. 

When you'll see it working: 

Tone-evening works alongside resurfacing, not after it — so as texture visibly improves, skin tone starts looking more even and luminous in step, building with consistent daily use over several weeks.
