PharmaClinix Lightenex Skin Lightening Cream. Fades hyper pigmentation and lightens dark skin. Evens out uneven skin pigmentation marks (e.g. sun spots, chloasma, melasma, liver spots and freckles), including those caused by contraceptives and medications. Kojic dipalmitate is derived from Japanese mushrooms. Unlike many skin whitening products which contain hydroquinone, our products contain naturally-derived ingredients. Kojic dipalmitate also possesses both antibacterial and antifungal activities. We also use liquorice and other root extracts that enhance the active ingredient, Kojic dipalmitate.
