Science: Fresh Serum Reviews by NvWah_Fresh Appleseed Brightening Essence

This main brightening ingredient should be mulberry (Morus nigra) extract. This extract may inhibit melanin production. Another possible brightening ingredient is moringa pterygosperma seed extract. It is a natural moisturing factor and UV sunscreen. It is rich in vitamins A and C, and also has potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity.

Fresh products generally are strong in their antioxidant content. This product is another example. The powerful antioxidant content guard against UV and environmental-generated free radicals and prevents the appearance of aging signs.

But there are a few irritants that make this product prone to breakouts and irritation. Stop using when adverse reactions occur.
