All skin types unless sensitive or acne prone; we recommend to take our Skin Quiz for a tailored kit.

Niacinamide

Also known as Vitamin B3. Niacinamide is a well-studied ingredient that helps maintain a healthy skin barrier and supports an even-looking skin tone. It is well tolerated and suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile addition to many skincare formulations.

4-n-butylresorcinol

4-n-Butylresorcinol helps improve the appearance of pigmentation and supports an even-looking skin tone.

Glycolic and Lactic Acid

Also known as Alpha Hydroxy Acids. Glycolic and Lactic Acid exfoliate and smooth the skin surfaces.

Retinal

Also known as Vitamin A, Retinal is a next-generation retinoid used in skincare to help refine skin texture and improve the appearance of uneven tone and visible signs of ageing. It’s well tolerated and suitable for most skin types, including those that find traditional retinoids too harsh.

Ferulic Acid

Ferulic acid’s emerging evidence suggests it can improve the effectiveness of Vitamin C and help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Ceramides

Emerging evidence suggests that smaller ceramides support the skin’s surface and help maintain hydration and the appearance of a healthy skin barrier.

Hyaluronic Acid

The optimum size of Hyaluronic Acid for skincare is still a topic of research. Emerging evidence suggests that medium-size HA can support skin hydration and help improve the appearance of skin smoothness and plumpness.

Lactobionic Acid

Lactobionic Acid is a Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) that works as a gentle exfoliant and humectant. It helps to smooth skin texture and improve the appearance of dullness without the irritation often associated with stronger acids. PHAs like Lactobionic Acid also attract moisture, supporting hydrated and visibly refreshed skin.

Gluconolactone

Gluconolactone is a Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) with gentle exfoliating and hydrating properties. It helps to remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, supporting a smoother and more refined appearance without the irritation often linked to stronger acids.

When you first start using Enlighten Gold, pigmentation may appear darker before it lightens, which is normal. It’s because the areas of pigmentation are more stubborn and as skin tone generally starts to change, the pigmented areas are slower to change than the surrounding skin, which can, at first, make spots look more visible. Give it 3–4 months of consistent use: it's the safest, most evidence-based way to reduce pigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The kit contains six products chosen to target pigmentation from multiple angles while supporting hydration, skin texture, and overall skin health. These are: Calming Cleanse (morning and evening cleanser), C Forte (morning Vitamin C serum), Enlighten Gold (morning active moisturiser), Zinc Shade (morning SPF), Smooth Serum (evening serum), and Ultimate A Gold (evening Retinal night cream).

Pigmentation is best tackled by targeting multiple pathways at once. Enlighten Gold's 4-n-Butylresorcinol (4nB) inhibits tyrosinase, the key enzyme responsible for excess melanin production, working directly at the source of pigment. C Forte's L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) acts as an antioxidant and helps prevent further pigment formation from UV-induced oxidative stress. Smooth Serum's AHAs (Glycolic and Lactic Acid) gently exfoliate to support surface renewal and help existing pigment fade faster. Ultimate A Gold's Retinal (Vitamin A) boosts cell turnover, helping to flush pigment to the surface and accelerate its fading, while also tackling fine lines and uneven skin tone overnight. Zinc Shade protects all of this progress, unprotected UV exposure is the primary driver of ongoing pigmentation, so daily SPF is non-negotiable. Using all six together targets the most pathways and delivers the best chance of visible results. 

C Forte (16% L-Ascorbic Acid) may be too strong for very sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, and Smooth Serum is not recommended for rosacea-prone skin. We recommend to take our Skin Quiz, as we can create a specific bundle tailored to your needs! Or contact our customer care team!
