Key Ingredients/Technology
Our “damage eraser” with patented CL302 Equalizer Technology is now more concentrated, with boosted technology to deliver dramatic brightening results—yet is still gentle enough for all skin types.
CL302 Equalizer Technology targets dark spots in two ways: corrects with the CL302 Complex and interrupts future ones with the Interrupter Complex.CL302 Complex: with 2X the brightening dose helps visibly reduce dark spots and discoloration. It includes the following:
- UP302 (dimethoxytolyl propylresorcinol): A targeted brightening molecule inspired by border silver, or dianella ensifolia, a botanical known in traditional Chinese medicine for its antioxidant properties.
- Ascorbyl glucoside: Helps reduce the appearance of discoloration.
- Glucosamine: Weakens the bonds that hold dead skin cells together to encourage the departure of cells containing melanin.
- Yeast extract: Clinique’s “cluster buster” breaks up (exfoliates) large clusters of pigment into smaller particles so they’re less visible.
- Salicylic acid: Gently sloughs off the uppermost layers of the skin to reveal fresher, more even tone skin.
Interrupter Complex: with a cocktail of soothing ingredients helps minimize irritation to interrupt future hyperpigmentation. It includes the following:
- Gyokuro (camellia sinensis leaf) extract: A green tea harvested with a special method in Japan that helps quell irritation.
- Mulberry root extract: Rich in antioxidants that help counter free-radical damage that causes irritation.
- Rice bran extract: A potent anti-oxidant and anti-irritant, and helps to prevent future dark spots by defending skin against damaging free radicals.
- Complex of olive squalene, barley extract, and wheat germ extract: Helps nourish and replenish skin with hydration.
- Dipotassium glycyrrizate (licorice extract): Acts as an anti-irritant that reduces the negative visible effects of stress and pollution.
