🌿 The Science Behind the Serum

La Joliette’s Face Serum is a potent yet gentle formulation that combines Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) with Licorice Extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) — two powerhouse ingredients known for their brightening and anti-inflammatory properties.

🌞 Vitamin C: The Antioxidant Powerhouse

Pharmacological Action:

• Tyrosinase Inhibition: Vitamin C inhibits tyrosinase, an enzyme crucial in the production of melanin (the pigment responsible for dark spots). By reducing melanin synthesis, it helps prevent and fade existing pigmentation.

• Antioxidant Defense: It neutralizes free radicals generated by UV radiation and pollution, which are major contributors to oxidative stress and hyperpigmentation.

• Collagen Synthesis: Vitamin C also stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture, elasticity, and the appearance of post-inflammatory marks.

🍃 Licorice Extract: Nature’s Brightening Agent

Pharmacological Action:

• Glabridin Activity: The key compound in licorice extract, glabridin, also inhibits tyrosinase activity, reducing melanin formation. It’s especially effective in treating melasma, sunspots, and PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

• Anti-inflammatory Action: Licorice soothes inflamed skin and calms redness, making it ideal for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. It helps reduce pigmentation caused by skin trauma or irritation.

• Cytoprotective Effect: Licorice provides a protective barrier for skin cells, defending them from environmental damage and helping maintain an even complexion.

💧 Why This Duo Works So Well

Together, Vitamin C and Licorice Extract create a synergistic effect:

• They block melanin production at multiple stages, from enzyme inhibition to reducing inflammation-induced pigmentation.

• Both are safe for daily use, non-comedogenic, and suitable for all skin types — including sensitive skin.

• With consistent use, you’ll notice a reduction in dark spots, a more uniform tone, and a healthy, luminous glow.

✨ How to Use

• Apply 2–3 drops of the serum on cleansed skin.

• Gently massage in upward circular motions until fully absorbed.

• Use morning and evening, and always follow up with broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day for best results.
