WIQO LIGHTENING SERUM, is a professional-formula anti-spot serum developed to suppress melanin production through multiple mechanisms and eliminate existing color irregularities. This formulation, reflecting the expertise of the Italian dermatology brand WiQo in needle-free mesotherapy, consists of mutually supportive active ingredients.
Tranexamic Acid, suppresses melanogenesis by interrupting the plasminogen-keratinocyte interaction triggered by UV exposure. Niacinamide, evens out skin tone and provides a brightening effect by reducing melanosome transfer. Phytic Acid, neutralizes environmental oxidative damage by chelating metal ions and supports the lightening of brown spots.
Lactoferrin, prevents inflammation-induced pigmentation by suppressing TNF-α and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Aminoethylphosphinic Acid (peptide), reduces melanin polymerization and dark color formation by inhibiting dopachrome tautomerase enzyme activity. Ferulic Acid and Tocopherol, strengthen the formula against oxidative stress with antioxidant synergy, while Sodium Hyaluronate maintains moisture balance.
Suitable for normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive, and mature skin, the serum can be safely used for spot treatment in the morning and evening. When used in the morning, it is recommended to complete the routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Suitable for users who want to combat UV-induced spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and general uneven skin tone. Normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive, and mature skin types can use it comfortably. It is especially ideal for users who prefer a dermatology-backed, high-active-density formula and perform spot treatment with professional recommendations.
Morning and Evening:
Apply the serum to clean, dry skin, massaging gently onto the areas with spots before applying any other products.
Wait for the serum to be fully absorbed, then you can apply your moisturizer.
After morning application, complete your routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Tranexamic Acid: Suppresses melanin synthesis by interrupting plasminogen-keratinocyte interaction triggered by UV rays, and reduces the appearance of existing spots.
Niacinamide: Inhibits the transfer of melanosomes to keratinocytes, evens out skin tone, and increases surface radiance.
Phytic Acid: Chelates metal ions, reducing environmental oxidative damage; supports lightening of brown spots and balancing skin tone.
Lactoferrin: Chelates iron, suppressing TNF-α and pro-inflammatory cytokine production, thereby preventing inflammation-induced pigmentation.
Aminoethylphosphinic Acid (Peptide): Inhibits dopachrome tautomerase enzyme activity, reducing melanin polymerization and dark spot formation.
Ferulic Acid: Prevents free radical damage with its powerful antioxidant effect; works synergistically with other actives to stabilize the formula.
Thioctic Acid (Alpha Lipoic Acid): Provides dual antioxidant protection with its water and oil-soluble structure and supports skin brightness.
Sodium Hyaluronate: Contributes to a plump and smooth skin appearance by providing deep hydration to the skin layers.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Protects the skin barrier against oxidative stress and supports other antioxidants in the formula.
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract: Inhibits tyrosinase activity through its glabridin component; provides anti-inflammatory and brightening effects.

Sunscreen Use: As it contains anti-spot active ingredients, broad-spectrum (SPF 30+) sunscreen must be used after morning applications. UV exposure can accelerate spot formation.
Application Order: The serum should be applied as the first step on cleansed skin. No other product should be applied to the face before the spot treatment session.
For Sensitive Skin: A patch test on the inner elbow or behind the ear is recommended before first use. In case of irritation, burning, or redness, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Eye Area: Be careful not to get it on the eye mucous membranes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
