SMART VITAMIN C CAPSULES
This form of natural vitamin C has high depigmenting and brightening powers, as it reduces DOPA-quinone and existing melanin. What’s more, it’s a potent antioxidant, so it prevents and fights oxidative stress. It also has anti-ageing properties due to the inhibition of free radicals and the capacity to increase collagen synthesis. The capsule protects the active and effectively releases it in the deepest layer of the epidermis. This way, it acts in a more intense and targeted manner on the structures and cells found there: melanocytes, Langerhans cells, keratinocytes, basal cells, Merkel cells, etc.

SMART AZELAIC ACID CAPSULES
The depigmenting activity of azelaic acid only affects abnormal melanocytes, which means it can lighten dark spots without affecting the surrounding skin. What’s more, it’s a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory active. Thanks to encapsulation technology, azelaic acid penetrates into the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin) up to 12 times more effectively.
-
LACTIC ACID
It’s responsible for cellular exfoliation. It improves skin texture and radiance and stimulates cell renewal, removing damaged melanocytes and hyperpigmented cells. What’s more, it promotes the penetration of other actives into skin so they can work more effectively. It’s the most gentle acid under the AHA umbrella, which means it can be used for all skin types, including sensitive and dehydrated skin.

CYSTOSEIRA ALGAE
This potent ingredient reduces melanin synthesis by 90% after 16 days of use and brightens skin by 27%, according to the clinical test results. Its function is to degrade the existing melanin and slow down melanosome maturation. It acts on three stages of pigmentation: Inhibits excess melanin production, slows down melanosome maturation, degrades basal pigmentation (melanin), removing the excess production of melanin on skin. It acts on the molecules involved in the absorption of melanosomes by keratinocytes.
-
LANGSAT ACTIVE
This active is responsible for silencing the miR-490-3pp tyrosinase enzyme and decreasing melanin production. It also reduces the pigmented area of dark spots and their melanin content.
-
ARNICA MEXICANA
It’s a very versatile active: it reduces inflammation, prevents hyperpigmentation and increases the brightness of all skin tones by 22% in 56 days. It also reduces visible dark spots, brown spots and redness. It likewise treats wrinkles, visibly reducing them (in size and amount). What’s more, it increases skin elasticity and firmness, increases hydration and decreases transepidermal water loss.
-
WHITE PINE
This potent active is responsible for inhibiting tyrosinase, which leads to a reduction in the process of melanogenesis. What’s more, it reduces redness and maintains skin translucency and pigmentation, with visible results in 14 days, according to the clinical test results.
-
RHODELLA VIOLACEA
It regenerates skin, and instantly makes it firmer, smoother and more supple. What’s more, thanks to its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, it protects skin against external aggressions, increasing the skin’s physical defences. Its ability to improve skin oxygenation enables the proteins involved in mitochondrial activity to work better, thus stimulating the processes that provide it with energy.
