Good For All Skin Types

what do we mean by "good for all skin types" — our products are formulated to deliver visible results with potent actives at their most effective concentrations. but we know that melanated skin comes with unique needs—like a higher risk of irritation and post-inflammatory scarring.

that’s why we carefully select and balance ingredients that work hard without being harsh.

  • no highly irritating actives.
  • no bleaching agents.
  • no compromises on safety or efficacy.

the result? powerful formulas that target concerns like hyperpigmentation and uneven tone while remaining safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
