Kojic Acid: Derived from mushrooms, it is used in Glycolic B5 Serum to help visibly reduce skin discolorations.
Lipo-Hydroxy Acid: Also known as LHA, it's a derivative of salicylic acid, and has exfoliating and skin surface renewing properties.
Tranexamic Acid (TXA): Recognized by dermatologists, this ingredient is used in Glycolic B5 Serum to help address the appearance of skin discolorations and the overall skin complexion.
