Unilucent PA-13 is a botanical complex based on a modified Rheum rhaponticum extract and Vitamin B5 stable derivative. It suppresses melanin production and lessens its accumulation in keratinocytes. It is a clear dark brown highly viscous liquid.
Clinical studies showed that Unilucent PA-13 effectively brightens skin tone, fights against age spots, and exposes radiant complexion. It provides a brighter and more uniform skin tone by inhibiting melanogenesis and melanin distribution in the epidermis, resulting in enhanced skin radiance and a younger-looking skin complexion.
