Science & Benefits

A lysine-derivative that functions by inhibiting the plasminogen/plasmin pathway. In acne-prone skin, it prevents the chronic inflammation that triggers melanocytes to produce excess pigment. It is the 'bulletproof' choice for fading Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). It is non-exfoliating, making it safe to pair with BHA or Retinoids.
