Every Drop.

01
Alpha Arbutin
The Gold Standard for Dark Spot Correction
Alpha Arbutin is a clinically proven skin-brightening ingredient that inhibits tyrosinase — the enzyme responsible for melanin overproduction.

- →Evens out skin tone and reduces melasma
- →Inhibits melanin production safely
- →Gentle enough for daily use on all skin types
02
Glutathione
Master Antioxidant for a Luminous Complexion
Glutathione is the body's most powerful antioxidant, known as the "master antioxidant" for its ability to neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and inhibit melanin synthesis. Topical Glutathione in CLARÉ formulas works synergistically with Alpha Arbutin to deliver a brighter, more even complexion, while protecting skin from pollution and UV-induced damage.
Key Benefits
- →Brightens dull and uneven skin tone
- →Reduces melanin formation for skin lightening
