Skin lightening and brightening solutions are used to help minimize skin discoloration that can be caused by the sun or aging. We provide a broad range of active ingredients that are commonly used in skin care due to their lightening, brightening, and conditioning benefits. These color-correcting ingredients are ideal for formulations such as moisturizers, serums, eye creams, and anti-aging products for the face and body.

These ingredients help prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL) resulting in the skin retaining its youth and elasticity. Skin care ingredients that target dryness have shown to enhance the production of collagen, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and provide a strong hydrating power leading to supple skin. Actique™ Hyal Matrix fits seven different active components into one skin-invigorating ingredient, providing extensive hydration into the skin’s deepest levels.
