Arctigenin Brightening Treatment

For Dark spots, uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory discoloration, melasma

If you've tried vitamin C and it irritates you, retinoids and you're not ready, or hydroquinone and want something cleaner — this is what we recommend instead.

The Epicutis Arctigenin Brightening Treatment is built around ABSO, a proprietary extract from burdock seed oil that's clinically proven to reduce melanin-triggering inflammation — the root cause of most hyperpigmentation. No harsh exfoliants, no rebound effect. Just steady, visible improvement in dark spots, sun damage, and post-breakout discoloration.

Hyvia® (chia seed-derived) provides deep hydration. Ferulic acid and Vitamin E defend against the UV damage that causes new spots to form. Canadian white pine bark extract adds additional antioxidant protection. Safe for all Fitzpatrick skin tones.

This is the brightening treatment we recommend after laser and microneedling to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and accelerate an even result.

How to use: Apply a pea-sized amount to face, neck, and décolleté after cleansing. Use feathery upward strokes to distribute. Use morning and night. For post-procedure use, apply after the Lipid Serum.
