Dermaceutic Yellow Cream is a powerful depigmenting concentrate formulated with over 20% lightening agents to visibly reduce dark spots, melasma and uneven pigmentation. Designed as an advanced alternative to hydroquinone-based preparations, this intensive treatment regulates melanin biosynthesis by inhibiting tyrosinase while promoting gentle exfoliation for a clearer, more uniform complexion.

A synergistic blend of AHAs, BHAs and proven brightening actives works at multiple levels of the skin. Glycolic and Salicylic Acids exfoliate dead and discoloured cells from the surface, while Kojic Acid, Alpha-Arbutin, Liquorice and White Mulberry target melanin formation to minimise existing pigmentation and prevent further darkening. With consistent evening use, skin appears brighter, smoother and more evenly toned.

Suitable for all skin types, apply a small amount to affected areas every evening for best results.

Benefits

  • Reduces dark spots, melasma and hyperpigmentation
  • Inhibits melanin production to prevent further discoloration
  • Contains potent AHAs and BHAs for enhanced exfoliation
  • Promotes a more even and radiant skin tone
  • Helps target hormonal pigmentation and rebound pigmentation

Key Ingredients

  • Kojic Acid – A proven melanin inhibitor effective for treating melasma and stubborn pigmentation.
  • Alpha-Arbutin (Bearberry Extract) – Reduces tyrosinase activity to minimise melanin production; also offers antioxidant support.
  • Liquorice Extract – Brightens, soothes and reduces pigmentation through its high flavonoid content while inhibiting tyrosinase pathways.
  • White Mulberry Extract – Antioxidant-rich ingredient that suppresses tyrosinase activity to reduce melanin formation.
  • Glycolic Acid – Accelerates exfoliation and boosts cell regeneration for clearer, smoother skin.
  • Salicylic Acid – A keratolytic BHA that breaks down cellular bonds to exfoliate deeply and improve penetration of brightening actives.

Apply to problem areas every evening after cleansing for best results.

Ingredient
Vitamin E
What It Is

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble, essential nutrient with anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin E helps support the immune system, cell function, and skin health. It’s an antioxidant, making it effective at combating the effects of free radicals produced by the metabolism of food and toxins in the environment.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that may be effective at reducing UV damage in skin. And when applied topically may help nourish and protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals.

What It Does

How to use in your skincare routine?

It can be used underneath moisturiser and sunscreen in the morning [if it’s a vitamin E oil] and is sometimes combined with other antioxidants, such as Vitamin C in Serums.

Best suited for those with dry, very dry, or mature skin.

Avoid using if you have very oily, acne prone skin or those prone to sensitivity.

Benefits

In moisturisers it can:

  • Stop skin from losing moisture.
  • Protect cells from damage.
  • Soften skin.
Salicylic Acid
What It Is

Salicylic acid is derived from willow bark, it belongs to a class of ingredients called salicylates. It's structure is a little complicated, but understanding it is important to learning why (and how) it works so well.

When it comes to skincare products, there are two classes of acids you'll see often: beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid. This means the hydroxy part of the molecule is separated from the acid part by two carbon atoms, as opposed to an alpha hydroxy acid where they're separated by one carbon atom.

Both alpha and beta hydroxy acids exfoliate the skin, but AHAs are water-soluble, while BHAs are oil-soluble. Generally, oil-soluble ingredients penetrate through the lipid layers between the skin cells more readily. In other words, oil-soluble ingredients can penetrate the skin at a deeper level than their water-soluble counterparts.

AHAs work well on the skin's surface to loosen old, dead skin and reveal fresh newer skin. Salicylic acid works deeper and is able to penetrate into the pores to unclog them.

What It Does

As with any exfoliant, it's best to start slow if you have sensitive skin or are prone to irritation. Salicylic acid-based products are safe to use daily once the skin has acclimatised. If you have oily skin, you are more likely to be able to tolerate this quicker.

If your skin type is dry or sensitive, it's more likely that salicylic acid could cause some irritation initially so a more gradual introduction may be required.

Benefits

Salicylic acid can get deep into your skin to do its job. This quality is precisely what makes it such a potent ingredient for targeting acne — especially for blackheads and whiteheads.

Once it penetrates the skin, salicylic acid dissolves skin debris that clogs pores, acts as an anti-inflammatory, and also helps red, inflamed pimples and pustules go away faster.

The ingredient can penetrate so deeply into skin that actually breaks down the connections between skin cells. Once it has penetrated the skin, the acid part of the molecule can dissolve some of the intracellular 'glue' that holds skin cells together.

Glycolic Acid
What It Is

Glycolic acid is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (or AHA) that's derived from sugar cane. It joins other acids you might recognize, such as lactic acid (derived from sour milk and purportedly a favorite of Cleopatra's), tartaric acid (from grapes), and citric acid - which, you might guess, comes from citrus fruits.

But it's unique, of the AHAs, glycolic is the simplest in structure and the smallest, it has the lowest molecular weight. That small molecular weight means it's easy for it to penetrate your skin and be super effective.

What It Does

As with any exfoliant, it's best to start small if you have sensitive skin or are prone to irritation. We recommend initially opting for a cleanser which will allow your skin to acclimatise first, rather than diving straight into a leave-on glycolic product if you are unsure whether your skin can tolerate it. Try one that pairs glycolic with hydrating ingredients, like hyaluronic acid.

Benefits

When it comes to glycolic acid benefits, the list is long. First and foremost, this is an exfoliant. It helps shed dead skin cells and reveal the newer, brighter layers underneath by acting on the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin).

But because glycolic acid is so small, it can get deeper into your skin too, where it does some serious work. Glycolic acid stimulates fibroblasts in the dermis to produce increased amounts of collagen. By stimulating collagen production, it helps skin feel firmer and minimises fine lines and wrinkles.

AHAs / BHAs / PHAs
What It Is

The world of acids can be divided into a few categories, three to be precise: Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) and the underdog, Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs). If you're using a skincare acid, it'll fall into one of these three categories.

AHAs

These may ring some bells as you're bound to find an AHA already hiding in your skincare routine. AHAs are chemical exfoliators that can be extremely helpful for oily or blemish-prone skin if used on a regular basis.
The top dogs in this category are Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid. You can find them mixed in with serums, moisturisers, cleansers and toners, depending on how high of a dosage you want to use (the smaller the percentage, the less potent the formula).

BHAs

Whilst they are also chemical exfoliators, AHAs and BHAs treat different skin problems.
AHAs are ideal for those concerned with ageing skin, whereas BHAs are best for those who are one the oilier side of the skincare spectrum and struggle with acne, blackheads and milia (the little white bumps you sometimes see under the skin).
Whilst AHAs are only water soluble, BHAs are oil soluble, which is why they are ideal for those struggling with an oil-slick T-zone. They can get below the oil that’s clogging up your skin and also have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. So they help spots disappear quicker and calm any redness.
The most popular BHA is Salicylic Acid. It can be found in a range of different formulas targeted at spot treatments.

PHAs

The underdog of the acid trilogy, PHAs don't get the praise they deserve.

"PHAs (AKA Polyhydroxy Acids) are very similar to traditional alpha hydroxy acids, because both work by breaking down the 'glue' that binds dull, dead cells to the surface of the skin." Daniel Isaacs, Scientific Director at Medik8

They're especially beneficial for those who find other acids too strong. 'Even very sensitive skin types can harness the resurfacing powers of PHAs,' says Daniel. 'In clinical studies, they have been proven to be compatible with dry, itchy skin conditions such as eczema and atopic rosacea.'
The most common PHA acids are Gluconolactone, Galactose and Lactobionic - bit of a mouthful to say but well worth looking out for the next time you’re in the market for a new chemical exfoliant.

Kojic Acid
What It Is

Kojic acid, which is naturally produced by some fungi and is a by product of the fermentation of rice, fights areas of concern like sun-spots and acne scars.

 

What It Does

If your skin is sensitive, we recommend not using it daily at first; instead, work kojic acid-based products into your regimen just once or twice per week to ensure that your skin can tolerate the ingredient. When used over time, this acid may also make your skin more susceptible to the sun. Using sunscreen daily is always important, but even more so when this acid is in your skincare mix.

When using this acid, it's important to also prioritise hydration to prevent potential sensitivity or redness incorporating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin into your skin-care routine can help. However, you should refrain from using kojic acid with retinol, which puts your skin at risk of irritation and sensitivity

Benefits
  • A main use for kojic acid. Its power to fade dark spots is doubly enhanced by its antioxidant properties.
  • Kojic acid is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, so it could help with itchy, red, and inflamed skin. It also has a few antimicrobial properties, so it can protect your skin from certain types of bacteria while it’s working.
  • Kojic acid can also help scavenge and counteract skin-damaging free radicals caused by exposure to things such as UV damage and pollution. This not only helps improve overall skin tone as well but also makes it a good general anti-aging ingredient.
