Active Ingredients

The science inside Brightening Boost Cream.

Click any ingredient to see exactly how it works and why Dr. Truesdale chose it.

Kojic Acid
AM + PM · Melanin inhibitor
+
Most effective OTC melanin-production inhibitor
Blocks tyrosinase — the enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis. Works at the source of hyperpigmentation, preventing new dark spots while gradually fading existing ones. Particularly effective for PIH in melanin-rich skin.

Oligopeptide-68
AM + PM · Multi-pathway brightening
+
Peptide targeting hyperpigmentation through three simultaneous pathways
Unlike single-mechanism brighteners, Oligopeptide-68 inhibits melanin synthesis, reduces melanin transfer, AND promotes melanin degradation. Outperforms kojic acid alone without triggering sensitivity.
Multi-pathway brighteningPIH-safePeptide technology
Niacinamide 5%
AM + PM · Tone equalizer
+
Highest evidence-backed concentration for tone-evening
At 5% — higher than the Masterpiece collection — niacinamide specifically targets the melanin transfer pathway. Works synergistically with every other brightening active.

How To Use

Your routine

☀️ Morning

Apply after cleansing, before SPF. Use every morning. Brightening actives work best with consistent daily application and strict SPF use — UV exposure reverses brightening progress.

🌙 Evening

Apply as your final moisturizing step in the evening. Some customers combine with the Masterpiece Collection (Brightening in AM, Masterpiece AM/PM) for comprehensive results.
