HOW IT WORKS

Pollution and UV light create harmful molecules in your skin called free radicals. There are three types, and Lipochroman™ fights all three with higher antioxidant power than common antioxidants. It also strengthens your skin's own natural defenses and helps flush out pollutants, while reducing melanin production to fade dark spots over time. 1

KEY BENEFITS

Triple Free Radical Protection: Fights all three types of skin-damaging free radicals with more antioxidant power than most common antioxidants. 1
Smoother, Firmer Skin: Helps restore elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles over time. 1
Fades Dark Spots: Reduces melanin levels for a brighter, more even complexion with less visible dark spots. 1
Pollution Shield and Skin Detox: Protects skin cells from pollution and UV damage while helping the skin flush out harmful foreign substances. 1
