IngredientWhat it isWhat it does for skin
Alpha-arbutinA stable, skin-brightening compound derived from the bearberry plant and also made synthetically.Slows pigment production in skin cells, helping fade the look of dark spots and uneven tone over weeks.Note: Works gradually and should be paired with daily sunscreen.
Tranexamic acidA synthetic amino-acid derivative used medically to reduce bleeding and in skincare for uneven tone.Used in cosmetics for brightening and to help fade the look of dark spots; results at skincare strengths are modest and build slowly.
NiacinamideA form of vitamin B3, one of the most studied ingredients in cosmetic dermatology.Strengthens the skin barrier by boosting ceramide production, helps even out tone by limiting pigment transfer to skin cells, and can reduce the look of enlarged pores.
GlutathioneAn antioxidant naturally produced by the body, also used topically in some brightening formulas.Helps neutralize free radicals and is marketed for brightening, though topical absorption and efficacy are less established than oral or injectable use.
Beta-glucanA polysaccharide often derived from oats or yeast.A soothing, hydrating ingredient studied for calming sensitive skin and supporting the barrier.
Ceramide NPOne specific, well-studied type of ceramide used in skincare formulas.Reinforces the skin barrier and helps it retain moisture, the same core ceramide function.
