Description

Skynish Skin Brightening Cream pairs a potent brightening duo—double-strength Kojic Acid and Alpha Arbutin—with nourishing hydrators for a targeted day-and-night treatment. This cream works to reduce hyperpigmentation, even skin tone and improve texture while supporting barrier health for a natural, luminous glow.

Formulation Overview

This day-and-night cream is built around two complementary brightening actives: Kojic Acid (2×) for melanin reduction and Alpha Arbutin for inhibiting pigment formation. Combined with humectants, emollients and skin-soothing agents, the formulation aims to deliver gradual, steady brightening without excessive dryness. The texture is rich enough for night repair yet breathable for daytime layering under sunscreen or makeup.

Why this blend: Kojic Acid accelerates exfoliation of pigmented cells while Alpha Arbutin offers longer-term control of melanin production. Together they address both existing spots and future discoloration when used consistently.

Ingredients Breakdown — what each major component does

• Kojic Acid (2×) — a tyrosinase-inhibiting brightener that helps fade existing brown spots and uneven pigmentation.
• Alpha Arbutin — a stable, skin-friendly brightening agent that reduces new pigment formation and prevents recurrence of dark spots.
• Humectants (e.g., Sodium PCA / Glycerin) — attract and bind moisture to the skin for supple texture and to reduce dryness from brightening actives.
• Emollients (e.g., Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol) — restore smoothness and strengthen the skin’s protective lipid layer.
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) — soothes, calms, and supports barrier repair during nightly regeneration.
• Antioxidant boosters (e.g., Ascorbyl derivatives or botanical extracts) — protect against environmental stressors that worsen pigmentation.
• Preservatives & Stabilizers (Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA, Potassium Sorbate) — maintain formula safety and shelf life.
• Fragrance (Parfum) — light scent; may be an irritant for very sensitive skin—see cautions.

Key Benefits

• Targets hyperpigmentation: Dual brighteners work synergistically to fade dark spots, post-acne marks and sun spots.
• Prevents future discoloration: Alpha Arbutin reduces melanin production for long-term improvement.
• Balanced hydration: Humectants and emollients keep skin comfortable while actives work.
• Day & night formulation: Suitable for morning layering (under sunscreen) and evening repair.
• Improves texture & radiance: Regular use softens roughness and restores a more even, luminous finish.
• Dermatologically minded: Formulated to balance efficacy with tolerability.

How to Use — practical routine guidance

Morning routine (day):

1. Cleanse and tone as usual.
2. Apply a pea-sized amount of Skin Brightening Cream, focusing on areas of pigmentation.
3. Allow to absorb for 1–2 minutes.
4. Follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+ (required) and reapply sunscreen midday if exposed.
5. Use cosmetic sunscreens and physical hats/avoid peak sun to prevent worsening pigmentation.

Evening routine (night):

1. Double-cleanse if you wear makeup or sunscreen.
2. Pat skin dry; apply a thin layer of the cream across face and targeted spots.
3. Optionally follow with a light oil or occlusive in very dry skin types.
4. Start with alternate nights for the first 1–2 weeks if you have sensitive skin, then increase to nightly as tolerated.

Layering tips: avoid using multiple strong exfoliants/retinols the same night as this cream to reduce risk of irritation. If combining with prescription agents, consult a dermatologist.

FAQs — detailed answers to common questions

Q: How long until I see results?
A: Brightening requires consistency. You may notice smoother texture within 1–2 weeks and visible lightening of spots in 4–12 weeks depending on severity and adherence.

Q: Can I use it on all skin tones?
A: Yes — kojic acid and alpha arbutin are used for a range of skin tones. Because brightening can sensitize skin to sunlight, strict sunscreen adherence is essential for all complexions.

Q: Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
A: Kojic acid is generally considered a topical brightener but the safety data in pregnancy is limited. Pregnant or breastfeeding users should consult their healthcare provider before using potent brightening actives.

Q: Can I combine it with vitamin C or retinol?
A: It can be combined thoughtfully: vitamin C in the morning (with sunscreen) works well; retinol should be alternated at night or used under dermatological supervision to prevent irritation.

Q: What if I get irritation or redness?
A: Reduce frequency to alternate nights or stop use. If irritation persists, discontinue and consult a dermatologist.

Q: Will it cause peeling?
A: Mild peeling or flaking can occur as pigmented cells renew. Hydration and reducing application frequency mitigate excessive peeling.

Caution

For external use only. Avoid direct eye area. Use sunscreen daily while using this product and for a week after discontinuation. Perform a patch test before first use—apply a small amount behind the ear or on the forearm and wait 24–48 hours for any reaction. Discontinue if persistent redness, burning, or swelling occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve stability.
