• Squeeze 6-8 drops into your hands, and smooth the product over your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
• Do this morning and evening after both cleansing and toning your skin.
• Follow up with your serum, moisturizer and SPF (if applying in the morning).

Ferulic Acid
A high-potency antioxidant, ferulic acid acts like a shield to defend from external factors that may lead to skin discoloration (hyperpigmentation).

• Ferulic acid helps prevent free radical formation on the skin, and that means fewer factors that lead to discoloration.
• It also supports skin’s antioxidant systems* to help reduce discoloration.
• Its skin-soothing properties help limit key causes of discoloration to reduce the look of uneven skin tone and brighten skin.

Niacinamide (vitamin B3)
One of two major forms of vitamin B3, niacinamide is an essential nutrient that’s been well-recognized globally as a brightening superpower.

• Niacinamide has been shown to significantly decrease visible skin discoloration (hyperpigmentation) when applied topically.
• It also doubles as an antioxidant shown to help limit key causes of discoloration to reduce the look of uneven skin tone and brighten skin.

Navy Bean Extract (vegetable amino acids)
Mary Kay discovered navy bean extract’s effect on brightening efficacy and patented a proprietary ingredient technology on this discovery.

• Navy bean extract is shown to significantly improve skin brightness.
• It also reduces* visible contrast of dark spots and improves the overall appearance of uneven skin tone.

*Based on in vitro testing

In developing the new Mary Kay Clinical Solutions^® line of products, Mary Kay went above and beyond the normal process of safety testing and claims review, providing behind-the-scenes access to an external advisory panel of U.S. board-certified dermatologists to help validate the formula and ingredients. The panel includes dermatologists selected for their extensive skin care expertise, scholarship and professional practice.

When you see this seal, you can be assured that an external advisory panel of dermatologists has validated the product by conducting a thorough review and evaluation of clinical tests, data and/or scientific support for the formula and ingredients.
