Is this for you?
This is ideal if you:
- Want a brighter, more even-looking tone
- Want a daily-use brightening step
- Want brightening for the body, not just the face
- Like kojic acid and turmeric as brightening ingredients
Not ideal if you:
- Have very dry or sensitive skin that needs a more emollient cleanser
- Want instant, dramatic results
- Prefer a hydroquinone-based product
- Maybe a better fit for some of these issues: Daily Cleanser.
Why this formula works
Kojic acid brightening
One of the most familiar brightening ingredients in skincare, used for the look of a more even tone.
Turmeric (curcumin)
A botanical long used in skincare for the look of brighter, more even skin.
Works at rinse-off
Kojic acid doesn't need a long leave-on time to be part of a brightening routine — wash-time contact is enough.
How to use
Daily Routine
Lather and leave on for a full 60 seconds before rinsing, face or body — kojic acid works at rinse-off, so that minute of contact is what does the brightening; no leave-on needed. Daily use is where it builds.
