I came across this product about a month ago when I was looking for something that contains Niacinamide and Astaxanthin. Niacinamide is supposed to help with skin brightening and Truth in Aging touts the benefits of Astaxanthin here, http://truthinaging.com/ingredient-spotlight/what-is-it-astaxanthin
I wasn't expecting to see any changes to my skin from this product but I was pleasantly suprised. I just wanted the benefit of the antioxidants and didn't think I would see much change in my skin. I've been using it for about three weeks and my skin is definately brighter. And it has lightened some light pigmentation I had.
It is a light serum that absorbs well into the skin and layers well under other products. I use it over my Skinceuticals CE Ferulic and before the essential oil blend I use in the morning. I only use it once per day.
These are the products claims,
What it is:
A brightening treatment for skin with age spots, acne marks or sun spots.
What it's used for:
This rejuvenating complex clarifies and brightens the skin for a youthful, un-damaged appearance. It boosts collagen production, reduces hyperpigmentation and enhances radiance, leaving the skin with a bright, fresh look. The gentle, botanical-rich formulation works without causing irritation, ensuring a comfortable finish.
I find it delivers on its promises. Niacinamide is third on the list of ingredients so I know there is a healthy dose in there and I think that is the reason it brightens the skin so well.
Here are the ingredients:
Water (Aqua/Eau), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Niacinamide, Arbutin, Alcohol, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Panthenol, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, Diacetyl Boldine, Human Oligopeptide-9, Pinus Pinaster (Pine) Bark Extract, Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract, Astaxanthin, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomille) Flower Extract, Allantoin, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate,Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Bisabolol, Propylene Glycol, PPG-26-Buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Acrylates/ C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Metabisulfite, Lysolecithin, Lecithin, Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Chloride, EDTA, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol.
