Ingredients for Dark Spots, Scars, and Blemishes

Here is information on the ingredients you listed and their roles in a formulation targeting dark spots, scars, and blemishes:

• Ethyl Ascorbic Acid: This stable Vitamin C derivative is effective for skin brightening. It works by inhibiting the enzyme involved in melanin production (Tyrosinase) and can help reduce existing dark spots.
• Hi-Glabridin™ Licorice Extract (Glabridin 40%): Glabridin is known for its whitening and anti-irritation properties.
• Licorice Extract (Licochalcone A 1%, Water-Soluble): This extract primarily reduces skin inflammation, redness from acne, irritation, and helps control oiliness. Note that Licochalcone A itself is not for skin whitening, but its anti-inflammatory action can benefit blemish-prone skin.
• WhiteCumin™ (Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane): Derived from turmeric, WhiteCumin™ helps reduce skin pigmentation and is a strong antioxidant, beneficial for skin brightening and dark spots.

Supporting ingredients in your list include:

• Hyaluronic Acid (Small Molecule): Provides excellent hydration, important for skin barrier function and potentially improving scar appearance.
• Natural Betaine: Offers moisturizing and soothing benefits, helping to protect the skin and maintain hydration.
• Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): A well-known antioxidant that helps protect the skin and contributes to skin conditioning.

Combining these ingredients provides a comprehensive approach to target hyperpigmentation, inflammation, and support overall skin health and hydration.
