✨ A hydroquinone-free brightening mist from CIRCADIA built for estheticians managing hyperpigmentation, melasma, and post-inflammatory discoloration — where a multi-pathway approach outperforms single-ingredient strategies.

The formula stacks three botanically sourced tyrosinase inhibitors — licorice, bearberry, and mulberry — alongside the Melfade PF complex (stable vitamin C + bearberry arbutin) and Nonapeptide-4, a peptide that interrupts the upstream α-MSH signal before tyrosinase ever activates. That combination addresses pigmentation at both the enzymatic and hormonal signaling level. Irish moss extract and sodium hyaluronate round out the formula with immediate surface hydration, keeping skin receptive and comfortable throughout brightening protocols.

💧 The fine-mist spray format integrates cleanly into post-cleanse treatment steps or mid-session refreshing without disturbing other applied products — useful in back-to-back facial workflows.

A strong fit for practices focused on age spot, sun damage, and melasma clients who need a professional-grade brightening option without hydroquinone.

• Reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation: The Melfade PF complex (bearberry and stable vitamin C) and Nonapeptide-4 peptide work along complementary pathways — directly inhibiting tyrosinase and blocking the upstream α-MSH signal that activates it — to visibly diminish the look of age spots, sun spots, and post-inflammatory discoloration with continued use.
• Supports a more even, balanced skin tone: Three botanically sourced tyrosinase inhibitors — licorice root, bearberry, and mulberry — reinforce the formula's brightening activity across different chromophore pathways, helping create a more uniform appearance across areas of uneven pigmentation including melasma-prone and sun-damaged skin.
• Hydroquinone-free brightening approach: Achieves visible brightening through a combination of stable vitamin C, botanical arbutin sources, and peptide-based signaling modulation — providing a professional-grade brightening strategy without hydroquinone or kojic acid.
• Instant surface hydration and skin-softening: Irish moss extract (MariMoist) and sodium hyaluronate together draw and bind moisture at the skin surface, leaving skin feeling immediately softer and more hydrated after each application — a tactile result that enhances client comfort during and after brightening treatments.
• Spray-format convenience for multi-moment use: The fine-mist delivery system allows controlled, even distribution over the face in seconds, making it suitable as a post-cleanse treatment step in morning and evening protocols as well as a mid-day refresher without disrupting makeup or other applied products.

Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract / Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate — Melfade PF Brightening Complex: A dual-action tyrosinase-inhibiting system. Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract (bearberry) supplies arbutin, a naturally derived compound that competitively inhibits tyrosinase — the key enzyme in melanin biosynthesis — helping reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a stable, water-soluble phosphate ester of vitamin C that also suppresses tyrosinase activity while supporting a brighter, more even-looking complexion. Together these two ingredients form the brand-designated Melfade PF complex, working along the same enzymatic pathway with complementary molecular profiles.

Nonapeptide-4 — Melanostatin 5 Peptide: A synthetic peptide that works upstream of tyrosinase activation by antagonizing alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), the signaling molecule that triggers melanin production. By interrupting this signaling step, Nonapeptide-4 complements the direct tyrosinase inhibition of the Melfade PF complex, addressing pigmentation through a distinct regulatory pathway for a broader brightening effect.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract - known as Licorice Root Extract: Contains glabridin and related flavonoids that inhibit the oxidase activity of tyrosinase, contributing to a reduction in the appearance of dark spots and discoloration. Also recognized as a soothing botanical that supports an even, calm-looking complexion — relevant context when brightening actives are used on sensitive or reactive skin.

Morus Alba Twig Extract - known as Mulberry Extract: Derived from the white mulberry plant, this extract contains oxyresveratrol and related polyphenols that are established tyrosinase inhibitors. It broadens the brightening system by adding a third botanically sourced melanin-suppressing agent alongside bearberry and licorice, reinforcing the product's hydroquinone-free brightening strategy.

Chondrus Crispus Extract - known as Irish Moss Extract (MariMoist): A marine-derived red algae extract that combines natural polysaccharides with humectant properties. It draws moisture to the skin surface and helps maintain hydration by binding water, leaving skin feeling softer and improving texture — providing a conditioning base that complements the brightening actives in a spray-format product.

Sodium Hyaluronate: The sodium salt form of hyaluronic acid, a high-affinity humectant that attracts and retains moisture at the skin surface. In a leave-on mist format with extended contact time, it supports sustained surface hydration, contributing to a plumper, more supple appearance and enhancing the skin's receptivity to brightening actives.
