Formulation Deep Dive
AXIS-Y’s Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum is formulated as a water-based brightening treatment designed to address post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. The carrier system utilizes a high-concentration humectant blend of glycerin and propanediol to facilitate active delivery, while squalane is incorporated to provide a lightweight emollient layer without compromising the serum's aqueous profile. The formula’s corrective efficacy is driven by a synergistic combination of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and glutathione to inhibit melanin synthesis, supported by sodium hyaluronate for deep hydration and Oryza sativa (rice) bran extract for its traditional brightening properties. Stability is maintained through a carbomer-based rheology modifier network and hydroxyethylcellulose, while the preservation system leverages a blend of chlorphenesin, 1,2-hexanediol, and ethylhexylglycerin for microbial control.
