Product overview
Key Ingredients
- 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbic Acid Polypeptide: two stable Vitamin C derivative forms confirmed present in the ingredient list, substantiating the "Vitamin C" claim in the product name. No specific percentage is disclosed by the brand
- Niacinamide: confirmed present, listed near the top of the ingredient list, supporting tone and barrier function. No percentage disclosed
- Important naming discrepancy -- Alpha Arbutin: despite appearing in this product's name ("...with Niacinamide & Alpha Arbutin"), Alpha Arbutin does NOT appear anywhere in the confirmed ingredient list published by either the official brand site or an independent Bangladeshi retailer. MedEasy is flagging this discrepancy clearly rather than asserting Alpha Arbutin is present -- buyers specifically seeking an Alpha Arbutin product should be aware this ingredient could not be confirmed in this formula
- Tranexamic Acid: confirmed present, listed early in the ingredient list alongside Niacinamide, an ingredient commonly used for tone-evening support
