Effective solution for achieving a lighter, brighter complexion by Provenance Solutions. Many women & men who have a dark complexion wish to have lighter & brighter looking skin. The amount of a compound Melanin determines whether skin is very white or very dark. Dark skinned people have more Melanin, & light skinned people have less of this pigment. An enzyme called Tyrosinase accelerates the rate of Melanin formation in the skin. Compound that inhibit Tyrosinase cause less Melanin to be formed. Until recently, Hydroquinone was the most effective Tyrosinase inhibitor & skin lightener. However, this compound is being banned in most countries because of its high toxocity profile. In Provenance Solutions Skin Brightening Cream, the company have chosen to use two "NATURE-BASED" skin lighteners, Citrus Unishiu Extract & Asefetida (Ferula Foetida) Extract. Both have been clinically proven to be very effective (and safe) compounds for lightening the skin. Directions for use: Wash your skin with a gentle cleanser & pat dry with a soft towel. Apply a small amount of Provenance Solutions Skin Brightening Cream to all areas of the face & neck. Using your fingertips, very gently massage until the cream disappears into your skin.
