Golden Hour Cleanser

WHAT IS IT:

A cleanser used to reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots in the skin. 

KEY INGREDIENTS:

• Papaya Extract

Papaya extract is a natural ingredient renowned for its exfoliating properties. It contains an enzyme called papain, which gently removes dead skin cells and promotes cell turnover. This helps to fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation by revealing fresh, new skin underneath. Papaya extract also contains natural bleaching properties that assist in brightening the complexion, resulting in a more even skin tone.

• Kojic Acid:

Kojic acid is derived from various fungi and is widely used in skincare products for its powerful skin-lightening effects. It inhibits the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and hyperpigmentation. By reducing melanin production, kojic acid helps to fade existing dark spots and prevent new ones from forming. It is known for its ability to even out the skin tone and promote a more balanced complexion.

• Vitamin C:

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that offers numerous benefits for the skin, including the reduction of hyperpigmentation. It inhibits the enzyme responsible for melanin production, effectively lightening dark spots and improving overall skin tone. Vitamin C also has brightening properties that help to fade existing pigmentation irregularities and promote a more radiant complexion. Additionally, it aids in collagen synthesis, enhancing skin's firmness and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Alpha Arbutin:

Alpha arbutin is a skin-lightening ingredient derived from the bearberry plant. It works by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme responsible for melanin production. By reducing melanin production, alpha arbutin helps to fade dark spots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. It is considered a safe and effective alternative to hydroquinone, a commonly used ingredient in skin-lightening products. Alpha arbutin offers a gentle yet powerful solution for achieving a more even skin tone and diminishing the appearance of hyperpigmentation.

When used together these powerhouse ingredients work synergistically to combat hyperpigmentation and dark spots. They target different stages of melanin production, effectively reducing the appearance of pigmentation irregularities and promoting a more uniform complexion.

HOW TO USE:

1. Begin with clean hands and a damp face.

2. Apply a dime-sized amount of the cleanser onto your palms.

3. Gently massage the cleanser onto the skin using circular motions, paying special attention to areas with hyperpigmentation.

4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove dirt, makeup, and excess oil.

For best results, incorporate Golden Hour into your skincare routine consistently and patiently. Hyperpigmentation takes time to fade, so we recommend using Golden Hour daily and allowing 90-180 days to see visible improvements.
