Anti-Dark Spot Hand Cream – Vitamin C & Glabridin

Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Glucoside): A stable derivative of vitamin C, Ascorbyl Glucoside is recognized for its powerful action as a dermocosmetic active ingredient. Essential for collagen synthesis, it helps maintain the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Its antioxidant properties protect the skin from external aggressors (UV rays, pollution, stress, tobacco) by neutralizing free radicals responsible for premature aging (loss of firmness, wrinkles, dark spots, dull or uneven complexion). Vitamin C also promotes cell renewal, for visibly smoother, brighter, and regenerated skin. Vitamin C is particularly valued for its anti-dark spot action and brightening effect, which revives the radiance of tired skin.

For this anti-dark spot hand cream, we have chosen a 100% natural form of vitamin C, in the form of a glucoside derivative (bound to a sugar), which provides optimal stability and ensures that the vitamin C concentration in this hand cream is maintained over time, thereby guaranteeing its effectiveness. It contributes to the cream’s protective, anti-aging, radiance-boosting, and anti-dark spot properties.

Glabridin: Derived from licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), this 100% naturally sourced active ingredient is particularly renowned for its targeted action on melanin, helping to reduce pigmentation spots and even out skin tone. By inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme in the pigmentation process, Glabridine limits the formation of new dark spots and lightens existing ones. Ideal for caring for hands—which are often exposed to the sun and prone to pigmentation irregularities—Glabridine also offers powerful antioxidant protection. It neutralizes free radicals, reducing the effects of oxidative stress and skin aging. Its anti-inflammatory properties strengthen the skin barrier and soothe irritation caused by external aggressors (frequent washing, UV rays, pollution, etc.). Glabridin works on multiple levels to visibly reduce dark spots and even out the skin’s appearance. It:

• Inhibits the signals responsible for melanin production;

• Limits the proliferation of pigment cells;

• Reduces the activity of a key enzyme in the formation of dark spots (tyrosinase);

• Lightens the color of melanin pigments already present in the skin.

In this anti-dark spot hand cream formula, Glabridine helps achieve brighter, more even-toned skin and visibly faded dark spots. It contributes to the anti-dark spot and protective properties of this treatment.

Hyaluronic Acid: Derived from wheat fermentation, hyaluronic acid is a 100% naturally sourced active ingredient known for its moisturizing, plumping, and anti-wrinkle properties. In this anti-dark spot hand cream, it helps maintain the skin’s moisture, improves its suppleness, and reduces the signs of aging.
