Product overview
Lilac 3X Spot Lightener (50g) is a targeted brightening cream sold under the Lilac brand.
Sourcing note: no official Lilac corporate/brand website could be located despite a real search effort -- this product is sold only through Bangladeshi retailers, none of which discloses a manufacturer or parent-company name. Lilac is NOT the same brand as the separately-existing "Lilac Beauty" (an Indian organic beauty brand) -- these are unrelated brands that happen to share a similar name, and this listing does not conflate them. No Hydroquinone is present in the confirmed ingredient list.
Key Ingredients
- Alpha-Arbutin -- a brightening, depigmenting ingredient; one of the three actives referenced by the product's "3X" name
- Niacinamide -- included to support barrier function and even tone; the second of the three "3X" actives

Ingredient transparency note: this formula also contains Triclosan (an antimicrobial ingredient subject to use restrictions or bans in certain other markets) and DMDM Hydantoin (a formaldehyde-releasing preservative that can be a contact sensitizer for some users) -- both are disclosed here accurately rather than omitted, per the confirmed ingredient list.
