Review: Hyaestic Pigment Enhancing Serum 4% Arbutin & 10% Vitamin C – brightens and lightens!
LianeHyaestic Pigment Enhancing Serum 4% Arbutin & 10% Vitamin C is a hydroquinone-free treatment designed to target discoloration and promote a more even skin tone. This serum combines two powerful ingredients: 4% Arbutin and 10% Vitamin C. This serum is a fantastic option for those looking to brighten their skin and reduce hyperpigmentation without the use of hydroquinone, which is no longer available without a prescription due to FDA safety concerns.
The combination of Arbutin and Vitamin C works synergistically to block melanin biosynthesis pathways, resulting in a more even skin tone. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that boosts collagen production and reduces inflammation while Arbutin inhibits tyrosinase, reducing melanin production.
The serum is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. It’s suitable for daily use and can be incorporated into both morning and evening skincare routines. I used the serum in the morning since Vitamin C has antioxidant properties, which protects the skin from environmental damage.
My skin is usually pretty broken out after my period, so I used this serum to speed up the recovery process. My skin looked brighter and more even after a couple of weeks. My Post-inflammatory erythema, or PIE, was greatly reduced!
Though I still have a few spots, many of them have evened out a lot with regular use of Hyaestic Pigment Enhancing Serum. I highly recommend this serum for anyone who gets breakouts or deals with any kind of pigmentation issues.
Here are some more details on the ingredients and benefits of using this serum:
Key Benefits:
- Brightening Effect: Arbutin, a naturally occurring derivative of hydroquinone, helps to brighten the skin by reducing the overproduction of melanin.
- Even Tone: Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) stimulates collagen synthesis and provides antioxidant protection against free radicals, which can cause premature aging and discoloration.
- Hydrating: The serum contains moisturizing ingredients like Propylene Glycol, which helps to keep the skin hydrated.
- Antioxidant Protection: Both Arbutin and Vitamin C neutralize free radicals, helping to prevent signs of aging and discoloration.
