Derma+ FACIAL BRIGHTHENING SERUM, 30 ml

Brightening Face Serum with Niacinamide, Vitamin C and Tranexamic Acid

Uneven skin tone, darker patches, dullness — these are concerns that a single active ingredient usually cannot fully address, because pigmentation irregularities have multiple causes. This serum approaches the problem from three angles simultaneously — with three different mechanisms, supported by seven European botanical extracts and Ayurvedic punarnava.

Three Tone-Evening Pathways

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — one of the most extensively studied cosmetic actives. It slows melanin transfer from melanocytes to surrounding cells, so skin gradually looks more even. Additionally helps refine skin texture and supports barrier function.
• Stable Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) — a more stable and gentler form of vitamin C than pure ascorbic acid. Acts as an antioxidant and helps skin look brighter and more vibrant. Does not degrade or oxidise as quickly as traditional vitamin C.
• Tranexamic Acid — targets pigmentation irregularities through a different pathway than niacinamide or vitamin C. Helps reduce the appearance of darker patches by working on plasmin activity — a mechanism linked to excess pigment production.

Seven-Botanical Complex

This serum contains an unusually broad range of European medicinal plant extracts:

• Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium) — traditionally used for skin calming and toning
• Lady’s Mantle (Alchemilla Vulgaris) — rich in tannins, gives skin a firmer feel
• Mallow (Malva Sylvestris) — softens and soothes sensitive skin
• Cowslip (Primula Veris) — a natural source of antioxidants
• Speedwell (Veronica Officinalis) — traditionally used in European skincare
• Lemon Balm (Melissa Officinalis) — calms and lends a refreshing sensation
• Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) — a gentle toning effect

Together these extracts enrich the formula with natural polyphenols and antioxidants.

Ayurvedic Punarnava

• Punarnava Root Extract (Boerhavia Diffusa) — a plant well known in Ayurvedic tradition, whose name in Sanskrit means “the renewer”. Rich in antioxidants and helps skin look more refreshed.

Hydration

• Hyaluronic Acid — intensely binds moisture in the upper skin layers. Skin feels plumper and more elastic — and well-hydrated skin always looks more radiant than dry skin.
• Glycerin — an additional humectant for lasting comfort.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — antioxidant protection against daily oxidative stress.

Texture and Feel

A lightweight, translucent serum that absorbs within seconds. Leaves no sticky or greasy residue — you can apply the next step in your routine immediately. No pronounced fragrance — suitable for those sensitive to scented products.

How to Use

1. Dispense 3–4 drops onto clean face and neck skin.
2. Gently pat in with your fingertips — do not stretch or rub.
3. Wait 15–20 seconds until the serum absorbs.
4. Apply a moisturiser on top.
5. Use every morning and evening.
6. Always apply sun protection during the day — vitamin C and acids increase skin sensitivity to UV.

When to Expect First Results

Tone evening is a gradual process — the first visible improvements typically appear after 4–6 weeks of regular use. Consistency matters more than quantity.

Suitable For

• All skin types, including sensitive skin
• Skin with uneven tone, darker patches or a dull appearance
• Daily use, morning and evening
• Pairs perfectly with DERMA+ toner and the moisturising day cream with UV protection
