APLB Kojic Acid Vitamin C Facial Cream 55ML

This facial cream is formulated with a potent KOJIC VITA CEN™ complex (44.6%), which combines key active ingredients to target uneven skin tone and enhance radiance:

• Kojic Acid Dipalmitate: This derivative of Kojic Acid is a well-known skin-lightening agent. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme essential for melanin production, thereby effectively reducing the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and overall uneven skin tone.
• Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): A powerful antioxidant that synergistically works with Kojic Acid to brighten the complexion. Vitamin C also stimulates collagen synthesis, contributing to firmer skin, and provides protection against environmental damage and free radicals.
• Centella Asiatica Extract and Centella 3x Complex (Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid): These “Cica” components are crucial for their exceptional soothing, calming, and restorative properties. They help to alleviate irritation, reduce redness, support the skin’s natural healing process, and strengthen the skin barrier, making the cream gentle enough even for sensitive skin, despite containing strong brightening agents.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A multi-functional ingredient that further enhances skin brightening, helps to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, balances sebum production, and improves overall skin barrier function.
• Hyaluronic Acid: A potent humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin, providing deep and long-lasting hydration, which results in a plump and supple complexion.
• Squalane: A lightweight, non-greasy emollient that closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum. It delivers excellent moisturization and helps to improve skin texture and reduce the visibility of pores.
• Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter): A rich source of fatty acids and vitamins, offering intense nourishment and moisture while promoting skin elasticity.
• Beta-Glucan: Another hydrating and soothing ingredient that aids in repairing and fortifying the skin’s protective barrier.

The APLB Kojic Acid Vitamin C Facial Cream has a non-sticky, lightweight texture that absorbs easily into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. It is formulated with a slightly acidic pH to maintain skin balance and is free from common irritants such as fragrance, artificial coloring, mineral oil, parabens, and sulfates. This “clean beauty” profile, often with EWG green grade ingredients, ensures it is a gentle yet effective option for various skin types, including sensitive skin.

How to use :

1. After cleansing and applying any serums or ampoules (like the APLB Kojic Acid Vitamin C Ampoule Serum): Take a moderate amount of the cream onto your fingertips.
2. Apply to face: Gently apply the cream evenly over your entire face.
3. Massage and dab: Lightly massage the cream into your skin using upward motions. Gently dab until it is fully absorbed.
4. Use daily: For optimal results, incorporate this facial cream into both your morning and evening skincare routines.
5. Important Note for Daytime Use: When using brightening ingredients like Kojic Acid and Vitamin C, it is crucial to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning, even on cloudy days, to protect your skin from UV damage and prevent further hyperpigmentation.
