A powerful dual-action treatment for acne (papules, pustules and cysts) and persistent hyperpigmentation (melasma, age spots and post-acne marks), formulated with 10% azelaic acid, 3% azeloyl diglycinate, 2% alpha-arbutin and 1% hexylresorcinol. Its lightweight creamy texture provides a matte, invisible finish. Non-comedogenic and does not clog pores.
Visibly reduces pigmentation spots and acne lesions.
Helps eliminate redness (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) from previous breakouts.
Evens uneven skin tone and smooths irregular texture.
USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS: Can be used in the morning and/or evening. During the day, follow with a moisturizer containing SPF 50+. Begin by applying at night (every other night or 2–3 times per week for very sensitive skin). Only if well tolerated, increase to twice daily use (morning and evening). At night, follow with Light Ceutic if pigmentation is your main concern, or Actibiome if acne is your primary concern. Alternatively, use another cream as recommended by your skincare professional. A full 3-month treatment course is recommended.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
Azelaic Acid. A multifunctional ingredient for acne and hyperpigmentation treatment with multiple skin benefits: it eliminates acne-causing bacteria, prevents keratinization, inhibits tyrosinase and provides comedolytic action. At a high concentration (10%), it helps clear acne, unclog pores, smooth uneven skin texture and brighten hyperpigmentation. According to approved scientific studies, 20% azelaic acid is equivalent to 4% hydroquinone (a prescription dermatological ingredient used to treat hyperpigmentation; hydroquinone is prohibited as a cosmetic ingredient in Europe).
Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate. A derivative of azelaic acid combined with glycine groups, which reduces sebum production and inhibits tyrosinase. Glycine’s hygroscopic properties also provide hydration. At 3%, it brightens and moisturizes the skin.
Alpha-Arbutin. A hydroquinone derivative and one of the most powerful tyrosinase inhibitors, reducing melanin production. At 2%, it brightens the skin, evens tone and lightens dark spots.
Hexylresorcinol. An innovative brightening agent that reduces melanin synthesis by acting at multiple stages of melanogenesis. At 1%, it lightens hyperpigmentation spots and provides additional brightening and antimicrobial benefits, making it ideal in post-acne scar care.
