Its combination of 4% Niacinamide, 3% Crystalide® peptide, and Sepiwhite™ MSH offers a science-backed approach to tackling dark spots and uneven tone without harsh ingredients like hydroquinone. The lightweight, fragrance-free formula is well-suited for most skin types and layers beautifully in any routine. While the Sepiwhite™ concentration is lower than clinical study levels and it is not fungal acne safe, the overall value proposition is strong — especially for those seeking a gentle yet effective brightening serum with barrier-strengthening benefits. A solid choice for anyone battling dullness and hyperpigmentation.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Ingu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52770245247319,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/5028\/8215\/files\/ixkcn5f4isyks31uyqrug3dxgzpc_68109b5d-1aa9-48c0-a2bd-601c3b183d6d.jpg?v=1772876599","url":"https:\/\/www.skincarisma.com\/products\/brightening-crystal-serum","provider":"Skincarisma","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
