• Wild-Harvested Kakadu Plum Vitamin C Serum is your special friend when it comes to tackling hyper-pigmentation. Vitamin C has been proven to break up the melanin patches that form due to scarring, sun exposure, skin trauma, hormonal activity in pregnancy or from being on the Pill. Kakadu Plum has the highest amount of Vitamin C of any known plant. Use every morning under moisturiser and an SPF 50+.
  

• Centipeda and Snowflower Australian Clay Mask is the ideal weekly mask to reach deep into pores to remove debris. Snowflower is a member of the Eucalypt family (Melaluca alternifolia) and contains flavan-3-ol, a catechin with 100 times more potent antioxidant activity than Vitamin C and 25 times more potent than Vitamin E. Snowflower also contains quercetin which is a proven anti-inflammatory and an anti-oxidant surpassing even retonic acid, and it has high levels of kaempferol which serve to break up melanin for de-pigmentation. Use at least weekly for prevention, and more often for treatment.

• Australian Botanicals Pro-Aging Serum offers multiple pro-aging benefits including improving hyper-pigmentation. It includes Aniseed Myrtle, a natural anti-hyper-pigmentation active, and Pandanus (Wild Pineapple) with bromelain enzymes that dissolve dead skin cells, are rich in Vitamins K, C, B6 and D, and contain a small amount of natural Niacinamide (B3). The FORTIFIED Version of the Pro-Aging Serum includes B3 Niacinamide at therapeutic levels to dramatically improve uneven skin tone and refine the appearance of pore size, skin texture and fine lines. Use every night under moisturiser.
  

• Australian Botanicals Brightening Facial Oils prevent dehydration that can cause micro-inflammation, leading to hyper-pigmentation. Using oils nightly is especially important to preventing long-term hyper-pigmentation if you spend a lot of time in very dry locations such as offices and hospitals. Includes Native Snowflower Oil (Melaluca alternifolia) with catechins 100 times more potent antioxidant activity than Vitamin C and 25 times more potent than Vitamin E, and high levels of kaempferol which break up melanin for de-pigmentation/brightening.

• Centipeda and Manuka Honey B+ Toner will improve dark spots and melasma. Manuka Honey inhibits the function of MMPs matrix (metalloproteinases), a group of enzymes that are responsible for collagen destruction and degradation. This protects the integrity of collagen production and cell turnover, keeping skin looking healthy and glowing. Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) is a powerful anti-oxidant and helps break up melanin clumps.
