Babyface Full Strength BEARBERRY Extract and 50 similar items

Babyface’s Pure Bearberry Extract is used for lightening age spots, freckles, sun spots, and for treating conditions such as Melasma and evening out blotchy skin tone for a more uniform, brighter complexion. If you are in search of a flawless complexion, you have come to the right place! What it is: Derived from the leaves of the Uva Ursi plant, bearberry extract is a natural source of arbutin, a powerful skin lightener. Bearberry extract is sometimes referred to as a derivative of hq, but it’s NOT hq. It doesn’t break down into hq, either. It simply provides the same benefits, without the nasty side effects. How it works: Like most effective skin lighteners, it blocks the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme that signals your skin to produce more melanin than needed. By stopping the excess flow of melanin, the darker hue eventually fades off. Plus, it has powerful antioxidant properties that help your skin fight off wrinkles. Best for: Anyone looking for an alternative to hq, or simply a pure, natural remedy to treat age spots, sun spots, freckles and melasma. Ingredients: 100% pure, undiluted Bearberry Extract (Uva Ursi) Usage: Intended for external use only – DO NOT EAT. This is a full strength concentrate, so it is recommended that it be diluted to 25% or less to control the lightening effects. Commercial products that contain Bearberry for lightening are usually at concentrations of 5% or less. Using this extract undiluted could cause more lightening than desired, or uneven lightening. A stronger does does not make it work faster. Lightening occurs when old, pigmented cells are shed, and the new, pigment-free cells come to surface. Regular exfoliation, or using Glycolic or AHA's when lightening can help speed up the process. Apply twice daily for best results. To dilute, add contents of this bottle to at least 4 ounces of your favorite lotion, cream, serum or toner, and mix well. Alternatively, you can also mix just one dose at a time by dispensing some cream/lotion/water into your palm, then adding a few drops of the Bearberry extract; mix and apply.
