Key Ingredients

Alpha Arbutin

Extracted from plants such as bearberries, blueberries, and cranberries, Alpha Arbutin is a brightening ingredient which acts as an inhibitor of tyrosinase, a key enzyme involved in producing skin pigment. Alpha Arbutin helps to fade scars, dark marks and pigmentation left behind by breakouts and sun damage.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid molecules have the unique ability to carry a 1,000 times their weight in water, more than any other biological substance. Hyaluronic Acid is also a smart nutrient as it can adjust its moisture absorption rate based on the humidity - relative to the season and the climate. This improves your skin s moisture content whilst at the same time strengthening your skin s barrier, helping your skin to look and feel softer, smoother, and plumper.

Liquorice

A natural skin brightening ingredient, liquorice extract contains an active called glabridin, which inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme that causes pigmentation in response to sun exposure and is effective for reducing dark spots, hyperpigmentation and dark circles under the eyes. Liquorice also improves the appearance of dry/damaged skin by reducing flaking and restoring suppleness.

She is the moment!

Love this serum so much! My skin loves it just as much, it’s not harsh but does the good Lord’s work. It’s hydrating, leaves my skin feeling bouncy and moisturised.

I love her!

She is the prize!

The best serum ever!

It woks harder than Kris Jenner, hyperpigmentation fears this girly! It’s also not harsh on the skin, leaves your skin feeling bouncy and hydrated. Love her!

Love it.

This is the second Skin Republic serum I’ve tried and I’m glad to have found this brand. I used the Vitamin C 6% + Alpha Arbutin and I was happy with the product. A bright skin tone and faded hyperpigmentation. I decided to try this one too, same thing! I love love these two products and I can’t even decide which one I love the most. I am now trying the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc and I think I’m going to love it too. Thank you for formulating excellent products, SR! 👌🏽

This serum is so light on my skin. Hydrating yet gentle on my skin. My darker hyper pigmentation areas are lightening and this makes me so happy. 10/10 recommend!
