Description
Prooxia Cream is a prescription topical formulation designed to address melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation without the use of hydroquinone. It combines the exfoliating properties of lactic acid with the anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening effects of niacinamide to promote a more even skin tone.
Active Ingredients:
-
Lactic Acid (10%): An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the skin, accelerating the shedding of dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. This process helps to lighten dark spots and improve skin texture.
-
Niacinamide (4%): A form of vitamin B3 known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Niacinamide assists in reducing redness, regulating oil production, and inhibiting melanin transfer, thereby diminishing the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
Additional Ingredients:
-
Ascorbyl Palmitate (1%): A stable, fat-soluble form of vitamin C that provides antioxidant benefits, aiding in skin brightening and protection against environmental damage.
-
Kojic Acid (4%): A natural compound that inhibits melanin production, contributing to the lightening of dark spots and overall skin brightening.
-
Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (30%): A derivative of azelaic acid that helps to even out skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation.
