What are the ingredients?

The formula blends natural and science-backed ingredients that work together to tackle pigmentation and boost brightness. Each capsule is packed with a potent mix of encapsulated Vitamin C—178x more powerful than the usual kind—and five skin-brightening ingredients.

There's Symwhite 377 (a pine-derived antioxidant that targets pigmentation), Symbright (from fermented clary sage for that glow boost), and Rice Bran Extract to help fade spots and even out tone. The formula also uses Advanced MIX Technology™, which goes after all four stages of pigmentation—basically hitting dark spots before, during, and after they show up.

And let's not forget Phyto-Ceramides, which help keep your skin barrier strong and your complexion calm, smooth, and resilient.

Who is it for?

These capsules are meant for anyone wanting to brighten dark spots, fade post-acne marks, and even out their skin tone—especially if you're always on the go or traveling. The single-dose capsules are super convenient, mess-free, and lightweight, making them ideal for busy lifestyles. Plus, they suit all skin types, including sensitive skin, thanks to their gentle formula.
