What it is: This hydrating mask will help brighten uneven skin tone and gently diminish scars, dark spots and other skin discolorations. Contains Ascorbic Acid and precious botanical extracts including grape seed and green tea, which effectively penetrate into the dermis. Rapidly nourishes, moisturizes, and whitens skin for a softer and more supple feel even after first usage.

How to use: Add one small teaspoon of ASDM Beverly Hills Pure Whitening Mineral Powder to a small mixing container. Combine with a few drops of water, until mixture has the consistency of lotion and Vitamin C has been dissolved. Use immediately to avoid oxidation of Vitamin C. Using fingertips apply a thin, even film from the neck upward. Avoid area around the eyes. Relax in a reclining position, limiting facial movement for approximately 15 minutes. Apply a moist towel to the face to soften mask, then gently remove remaining mask and rinse with warm water. Follow with toner and your favorite moisturizer.

Ingredients: Arbutin, Kojic Acid, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) Grape seed extract, Green Tea extract, Aluminum, iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium.

Kojic Acid: Kojic Acid is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice. Since the enzyme Tyrosinase contains copper, Kojic Acid is able to effectively chelate (remove) the copper by lowering the PH level around Tyrosinase. Once the copper cofactor is removed, Tyrosinase activity is suppressed and hence so is melanin production. Since being discovered by the Japanese in the early 1990s, Kojic Acid has become one of the most favored agents to help combat hyper pigmentation.

Ascorbic Acid aka Vitamin C: One of the most powerful antioxidants, directly quenching radical species. Improves skin elasticity. Decreases wrinkles by stimulating collagen synthesis. Reduces redness. Promotes wound healing. Suppresses cutaneous pigmentation.

Grape Seed Extract Grape seed extract: is a natural plant product derived from the seeds of Vitis Vinifers L, a variety of wine grapes. This extract is rich in Procyanidins, which effectively bind to free radicals, guarding against damage to cellular membranes. Grape seed extract is also rich in other compounds that are abundant in antioxidants, including: polyphenols, flavonoids, and phytochemicals. This high concentration of these compounds makes Grape seed extract a leader in antioxidant properties rivaling even well-known sources such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

Green tea Extract: Green tea is not fermented, thus it still retains its polyphenols, natural antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from free-radical compounds that destroy healthy cells.

Arbutin: Arbutin is a naturally occurring derivative of hydroquinone that is found in the dried leaves of pear trees and other plants such as bearberry. It is a structural homology of Tyrosinase, meaning that it has a similar structure as Tyrosinase, but different type of activity. This results in Arbutins effective inhibitory effects on Tyrosinase activity and thus melanin production.
