Epicutis®, a science-based professional skincare line that treats skin health and not age, proudly announces the launch of the Arctigenin Brightening Treatment, a clean, clinically proven skin brightening treatment that dethrones Vitamin C as the reigning brightening superpower.
Developed with cutting-edge biotechnology methods, this innovative EWG Verified® treatment harnesses the power of Epicutis' proprietary botanical Burdock extract enriched for high levels of Arctigenin to offer a safe and effective alternative to traditional brightening ingredients like Vitamin C, Kojic Acid, and Niacinamide products, directly addressing the shortcomings of these outdated brightening methods.
"Brightening the skin safely is one of the foremost challenges in dermatology," states James Wang, MD, double-board certified dermatologist and Founder of Metropolis Dermatology. "Although there are skincare options for brightening, such as Vitamin C, Kojic Acid, and Arbutin, results have been generally underwhelming. In fact, there have been few advances since the eighties that have yielded meaningful outcomes."
"Vitamin C is most commonly found in the form, L-ascorbic acid, which is highly unstable when exposed to oxygen, rendering it useless in most skincare formulas," shares Epicutis Founder and CEO Maxwell Stock. "With our new patented ingredient, Arctiginen, we are able create a more stable and effective brightening solution."
Arctigenin, derived from burdock seed, works synergistically with HYVIA® and Canadian white pine bark to provide a comprehensive brightening solution. This unique formulation ensures that the active ingredients are infused deeply into the skin, maximizing their brightening and spot-reducing benefits.
"Epicutis' new skin brightening technology called Arctigenin is a novel compound the provides us a safe, gentle, and pure option to offer our patients with pigmentation and sensitive skin," continues Dr. Wang. "It is a testament to the brand's dedication to pushing the boundaries of skin health innovation."
