NiaButin-C

Multi Pathway Brightening

• Ascorbyl Glucoside converts into active Vitamin C within the skin, supporting melanocyte regulation and improving overall radiance. Alpha Arbutin inhibits excess melanin formation, helping visibly reduce dark spots and uneven pigmentation. Working through separate pathways on different layers of the skin allows more uniform brightening without aggressive exfoliation.

Tone Regulation + Barrier Function

• A high production of Melanin is what causes hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide improves tone by reducing the transfer of Melanin to surrounding skin cells while reinforcing the skin barrier. A stronger barrier reduces inflammation driven pigmentation and allows brightening actives to work more efficiently.

Anti-Inflammatory Botanical Support

• Licorice Root and Mulberry Fruit Extracts help suppress pigment-stimulating inflammation while calming the skin, preventing rebound discoloration. Green Tea Extract provides antioxidant protection against oxidative stress that can trigger uneven tone.

Hydration as a Performance Layer

• Glycerin, Panthenol, and Hyaluronic Acid optimize water balance within the skin. Proper hydration improves enzyme function and active penetration while minimizing irritation.

The Result

Instead of relying on a single aggressive brightening mechanism, this formula regulates pigment production, reduces inflammatory triggers, and supports the barrier. The outcome is brighter, more even looking skin that improves steadily and sustainably over time.

• Ascorbyl Glucoside: A stable vitamin C derivative that gradually converts to active vitamin C in the skin, helping brighten tone, improve radiance, and support a more even complexion over time.

• Alpha Arbutin: Targets excess melanin formation to help visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots and discoloration without irritating the skin.

• Niacinamide: Helps regulate melanin transfer while strengthening the skin barrier, improving uneven tone, texture, and overall skin balance.

• Licorice Root + Mulberry Fruit Extracts: Work together to calm inflammation and enhance visible brightness, supporting a clearer, more uniform skin tone.

Apply 3 to 4 drops on clean skin and gently spread across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.

Start use twice or thrice weekly depending on skin tolerance, then build up to daily use. Follow with a moisturizer to seal in hydration.

For best results, use consistently over several weeks.

This is your friendly reminder to use sunscreen daily, come rain or shine, regardless of your skin care routine.
