50ml

$150

Quick Highlights

This nutrient-rich serum is designed for those seeking a gentler approach to treating dark spots, uneven tone, and pigmentation. Powered by Brightenyl, Curcumin, and Niacinamide, it visibly improves clarity while calming redness and supporting sensitive or reactive skin. Lightweight and non-greasy, the formula also includes soothing botanicals like Centella Asiatica and Meadowfoam Seed Oil to hydrate and reinforce the skin barrier. Fragrance-free and safe for pregnancy and nursing, it’s ideal for daily use to reveal a clearer, calmer, more even-toned complexion over time.

Description

This nutrient-rich botanical formula was thoughtfully created for those looking to reduce dark spots and even out their skin tone—but who find medicated lightening creams too harsh or sensitising.

Multifunctional and gentle, this serum addresses a range of concerns in one step:

  • Visibly improves uneven skin tone caused by melasma, acne marks or sun damage
  • Calms redness and sensitivity, supporting skin recovery
  • Reinforces the skin barrier, helping to prevent future irritation
  • Provides antioxidant support to protect against environmental stressors
  • Maintain overall skin health

Lightweight and non-greasy, the formula absorbs quickly and is safe for sensitive, acne and pigment-prone skin. It is also fragrance-free and suitable for use during pregnancy and nursing.

At the heart of the formula is a blend of Brightenyl, Curcumin (from turmeric) and Niacinamide —three powerful yet gentle actives that visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots, improve clarity, and calm the skin over time, without irritation or increased sun sensitivity.

Soothing botanicals like Centella Asiatica, combined with Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Phytosterols and Lecithin deliver lightweight hydration, reduce inflammation and support long-term skin resilience.

With consistent use, skin becomes calmer, clearer and more even-toned—making this serum a valuable choice for daily, long-term care.

For best results, pair this serum with a moisturiser, apply sun protection daily and wear a wide-brim hat when outdoors. Restful sleep and stress reduction also contribute significantly to supporting the skin’s natural healing process.

Recommended as a gentle alternative to—or in combination with—medicated lightening treatments.

Ingredients

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) – Reduces pigmentation and lightens by inhibiting melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes. Reduces redness, boosts DNA repair.

Diglucosyl Gallic Acid (Brightenyl) – A potent antioxidant and brightening ingredient that fades dark spots, calms redness and protects sensitive skin.

Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane (Curcumin derivative) – A turmeric-derived tyrosinase inhibitor that lightens pigmentation while offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, making it ideal for sensitive or redness-prone skin.

Aminoethylphosphinic Acid (Albatin) – A melanin-inhibiting active that prevents excess melanin formation, helping to even skin tone.

Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract – Antioxidant herb from Asia. Soothes skin, promotes healing, hydrates and reduces inflammation.

Polyglycerin-3 – A lightweight, non–pore-clogging humectant made from three glycerin molecules that provides deeper, longer-lasting hydration than glycerin alone.

Meadowfoam Seed Oil – A nourishing emollient that locks in hydration, balances serum production, reduces comedones and protects against environmental stressors.

Phytosterols (Soy-derived) – Strengthens the skin’s lipid barrier and reduces inflammation.

Lecithin (Soy-derived) – Delivers active ingredients deep into the skin while restoring hydration.

Formulated without parabens, propylene glycol, petrolatum, sodium lauryl sulfate, synthetic fragrances or colouring agents, or mineral oil.

Directions

After cleansing and toning, apply a generous amount to the entire face. Follow with your favourite FOREST MD moisturiser and add sunscreen during the day. Use twice daily and consistently for at least 3 months for optimal results.
