Introducing a Better Way to Brighten: A
Vitamin C Replacement Arrives
IRVINE, Calif. ,
Oct. 1,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Epicutis®, a
science-based professional skincare line that treats skin health
and not age, proudly announces the launch of the Arctigenin
Brightening Treatment, a clean, clinically proven skin
brightening treatment that dethrones Vitamin C as the reigning
brightening superpower.
Developed with cutting-edge biotechnology methods, this
innovative EWG Verified® treatment harnesses the
power of Epicutis' proprietary botanical Burdock extract enriched
for high levels of Arctigenin to offer a safe and effective
alternative to traditional brightening ingredients like Vitamin C,
Kojic Acid, and Niacinamide products, directly addressing the
shortcomings of these outdated brightening methods.
"Brightening the skin safely is one of the foremost challenges
in dermatology," states James Wang,
MD, double-board certified dermatologist and Founder of Metropolis
Dermatology. "Although there are skincare options for brightening,
such as Vitamin C, Kojic Acid, and Arbutin, results have been
generally underwhelming. In fact, there have been few advances
since the eighties that have yielded meaningful outcomes."
"Vitamin C is most commonly found in the form, L-ascorbic acid,
which is highly unstable when exposed to oxygen, rendering it
useless in most skincare formulas," shares Epicutis Founder and CEO
Maxwell Stock. "With our new
patented ingredient, Arctiginen, we are able create a more stable
and effective brightening solution."
Arctigenin, derived from burdock seed, works synergistically
with HYVIA® and Canadian white pine bark to provide a comprehensive
brightening solution. This unique formulation ensures that the
active ingredients are infused deeply into the skin, maximizing
their brightening and spot-reducing benefits.
Key Ingredients and Benefits:
- Arctigenin extracted from Burdock Seed Oil: This
patented extract is a first in skincare. Derived from Japanese
burdock root, Arctigenin is clinically proven to brighten skin
tone. It offers high potency skin brightening activity without any
negative side effects.
- HYVIA® (Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil): A patented extract
oil enriched with Omega-3 and Omega-6, known as Vitamin F, that is
clinically proven to boost skin barrier function and hydrate the
skin.
- Canadian White Pine Bark Extract: Clinically proven to
illuminate and even out skin tone in just fourteen days. This

Dr. Wang. "It is a testament to the brand's dedication to pushing
the boundaries of skin health innovation."
