  • 1% oxyresveratrol (Oxy-R) — naturally derived from the mulberry family, it helps block the action of tyrosinase, the key enzyme responsible for forming pigment in the skin.
  • Tetrapeptide-30 — minimises the production of tyrosinase, to help block the overproduction of melanin.
  • Acetyl glycyl beta-alanine — blocks the transport of melanin into skin cells.
  • Hyaluronic acid — attracts and retains moisture for hydrated, supple skin.

Fragrance free. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

How to use

Supplied as two 10ml bottles. Activate the second only when the first is finished.

  • To activate, press down firmly on the bottle lid until it clicks, then shake for 30 seconds.
  • Recycle the lid and replace it with the dropper.
  • After cleansing, morning and evening, blend 6 drops across the face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the eye area.
  • Leave to absorb before applying your moisturiser.

Store both bottles at room temperature and away from windows after activation. Each bottle stays potent for six weeks after opening. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without speaking to your GP or midwife first. Patch test at least 24 hours before first use.

Even tone, restored.

A professional-strength peptide serum for the look of dark spots and discolouration.
