This kit pairs ingredients studied for the look of brightness across the steps of a daily routine — cleanse, treat, and protect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #000;\"\u003eThe Brightening Bar is where the routine starts, and it does more than clean. It pairs kojic acid and turmeric — two long-familiar brightening ingredients — in a daily bar for face and body. Kojic acid doesn't need a long leave-on time to be part of a brightening routine; the contact time during washing adds a cumulative tone benefit that builds over months of daily use, including on body areas that facial products rarely reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #000;\"\u003eThe Clarity Serum brings niacinamide. At 10%, niacinamide is one of the most studied ingredients for the look of even tone and the appearance of dark spots. Hakozaki et al. 2002 is a key study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #000;\"\u003eThe Glow Serum closes the loop with stable vitamin C for the look of brightness, plus antioxidant protection for daytime.
