Vitamin C & Glabridine anti-dark spot hand cream: what are the benefits?

The Vitamin C & Glabridine anti-dark spot hand cream is a skincare product specifically formulated for both women and men who wish to prevent or reduce pigmentation spots, whatever their cause.It is suitable for people with dark spots caused by sun exposure, skin ageing, residual marks or post-operative scars.

 It is a certified organic 2-in-1 cream , combining a targeted anti-dark spot action with a comprehensive anti-ageing action, whilst providing optimal hydration. Its melting, light and non-greasy texture absorbs quickly, making it comfortable to wear throughout the day without any sticky residue.

A synergy of active ingredients with proven efficacy

The benefits of this cream are based on a clever combination of recognised cosmetic active ingredients:

• La vitamin C : a powerful antioxidant, it helps to neutralise free radicals induced by UV, which are responsible for oxidative stress and skin ageing. It also helps to even out the complexion and enhance the skin’s radiance.

• La glabridin: extracted from liquorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), glabridin acts directly on melanin production by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme in pigmentation. It is particularly effective at reducing the intensity and size of pigmentation spots, without irritating the skin.

• Two grades of hyaluronic acid: the combination of different molecular weights enables hydration at all levels. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid remains on the skin’s surface to form a protective moisturising film, smoothing the skin’s texture and limiting water loss, thereby helping to leave the skin softer, more supple and more comfortable. Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid penetrates deeply and helps to maintain hydration at the heart of the epidermis, strengthen the skin’s barrier function and improve its suppleness and elasticity in the long term.

Visible results

With regular use, the results are gradual but long-lasting: dark spots are lightened and reduced in size, and the signs of ageing are reduced. Hands are visibly softer, the skin more even-toned, radiant, and better protected. Apply this treatment once or several times a day to clean, dry hands, massaging until fully absorbed.

Spotlight on the Vitamin C & Glabridine Anti-Dark Spot Hand Cream

Certified organic 2-in-1 hand cream: anti-dark spot and anti-ageing. Light and non-greasy, this 100% naturally derived hand cream visibly reduces dark spots, helps prevent and correct the signs of ageing, whilst perfectly moisturising the skin. The anti-ageing and dark spot-fighting routine for soft, protected, even-toned and radiant hands!

Thanks to its expertly formulated composition, the Vitamin C & Glabridine anti-dark spot hand cream offers numerous benefits:

• Visible reduction in dark spots: glabridin inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin production. By acting at the source of hyperpigmentation, it gradually lightens existing dark spots and prevents the formation of new ones caused by sun exposure or ageing.

• Comprehensive anti-ageing action: vitamin C limits oxidative stress, which is responsible for the breakdown of collagen and elastin. It thus helps to preserve the skin’s firmness, smooth the appearance of fine lines and slow down visible skin ageing on the hands.

• Intense and long-lasting hydration: the two types of hyaluronic acid work in synergy. The high molecular weight form hydrates and smooths the skin’s surface, whilst the low molecular weight form helps retain water in the deeper layers, strengthening the skin barrier.

• Even skin tone: by regulating pigmentation and promoting cell renewal, the cream helps to even out skin tone, for visibly more radiant hands and a more even complexion.

• Protection against external aggressors: thanks to the antioxidant action of vitamin C, the skin is better protected against UV rays, pollution and temperature fluctuations, which accelerate ageing and contribute to the appearance of dark spots.

• Improved skin softness and comfort: the formula nourishes and moisturises the skin, reducing feelings of tightness and discomfort, even with frequent washing or exposure to the cold.

• Pleasant, non-greasy texture: its light texture absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film, allowing for repeated application throughout the day.

The Vitamin C & Glabridine Anti-Dark Spot Hand Cream has been formulated to suit all skin types, thanks to its gentle, natural and balanced formula.

It is perfectly suited to normal to dry skin, which requires regular moisturising to prevent dehydration, tightness and the rough texture often seen on the hands. Hyaluronic acid helps maintain optimal hydration, which is essential for daily skin comfort.

Sensitive skin can also use this product with complete confidence. Glabridin, derived from liquorice, is recognised for its excellent skin tolerance and its targeted action on pigmentation, without causing irritation. Combined with an emollient and soothing base, it respects the skin’s natural balance.

This cream is particularly suitable for mature skin, which is more prone to dark spots, loss of firmness and dryness. Vitamin C helps combat oxidative stress, which is responsible for skin ageing, whilst enhanced hydration helps improve the overall appearance of the skin on the hands.

Finally, it is designed for skin prone to pigmentation marks, whatever the cause: repeated sun exposure, natural ageing, residual marks or scars. Its gradual action visibly reduces these marks whilst preventing their reappearance.

Thanks to its organic formula, 100 per cent natural in origin, this hand cream respects the skin’s barrier and can be used daily, over the long term, even on the most sensitive skin

The skin on the hands is particularly vulnerable to premature ageing. It contains few protective lipids and is subject to chronic exposure to UV rays, the main cause of pigmentation spots. Vitamin C and Glabridin work in synergy on the biological mechanisms responsible for hyperpigmentation and skin ageing:

• Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant by neutralising the free radicals generated by exposure to UV rays and pollution. These free radicals activate enzymes (matrix metalloproteinases) responsible for the breakdown of collagen. By limiting this oxidative stress, vitamin C helps to preserve the skin’s structure, slow down the appearance of wrinkles and maintain the skin’s radiance. It also helps regulate pigmentation by inhibiting the oxidation of melanin.

• Glabridin, derived from liquorice root, acts directly on the pigmentation mechanism by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme involved in melanin synthesis. By reducing this production at source, it gradually reduces the intensity and size of pigmentation spots, whilst respecting the skin’s natural balance, making it particularly suitable for sensitive skin prone to pigmentation spots.

Using a hand cream enriched with these two active ingredients therefore provides both preventative and corrective benefits, perfectly suited to an area that is often overlooked but is, in fact, highly exposed.

To achieve visible, long-lasting results on pigmentation spots and skin condition, it is essential to follow a regular skincare routine tailored to the specific needs of your hands.

Step 1: Gently cleanse your hands

Start by washing your hands with a mild soap, such as our organic donkey milk gentle soap, to preserve the skin’s natural hydrolipidic film. Over-cleansing can weaken the skin’s barrier and lead to dehydration, making blemishes more visible. 

After washing, gently dry your hands with a clean towel, patting rather than rubbing. This simple step helps to minimise micro-irritation and protect the skin’s sensitivity, particularly on the backs of the hands.

Step 2: Apply the anti-dark spot cream

Take a small amount of the Vitamin C & Glabridine anti-dark spot hand cream and massage it all over your hands, paying particular attention to the backs of your hands and areas with dark spots. Massaging helps the active ingredients to penetrate the skin and stimulates microcirculation.

To maintain optimal hydration and ensure continuous anti-dark spot action, reapply after each time you wash your hands or as soon as your skin feels dry. Regular use is essential to support the natural cell renewal cycle.

Step 3: Protect your hands from the sun

During the day, and particularly when exposed to the sun, complete your routine by applying a suitable sun cream to the backs of your hands, such as our SPF 30 mineral sun milk. As UV rays are the main cause of the appearance and worsening of pigmentation spots, this step is essential to prevent their recurrence and maximise the effectiveness of your skincare routine.

The Vitamin C & Glabridine anti-dark spot hand cream is for external use only. It is recommended that you avoid contact with the eyes; in the event of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water. The product must not be applied to broken, irritated or wounded skin. For very sensitive or reactive skin, it is advisable to carry out a patch test beforehand by applying a small amount of the product to the crook of the elbow and waiting 24 hours to ensure there is no adverse reaction. Finally, as vitamin C can be photosensitive, the use of sun protection is recommended in the event of prolonged exposure to the sun.

Prevention remains key to minimising the appearance of dark spots, both on the hands and on the face. It is essential to protect your skin from the sun every day using a suitable sunscreen, even in winter, as UV rays are present all year round and stimulate melanin production. It is also recommended to limit prolonged exposure without protection, which can lead to the appearance of solar lentigines and premature skin ageing. Daily moisturising helps to strengthen the skin barrier, maintain the skin’s suppleness and better resist external aggressors. Regular use of skincare products rich in antioxidants helps to neutralise free radicals caused by UV rays and pollution. Finally, adopting a regular and consistent skincare routine is essential, as anti-dark spot treatments work gradually and take time to deliver visible, long-lasting results.
