Minimalist Rosehip Face Oil is a pure cold-pressed rosehip oil having a high content of essential fatty and unsaturated acids with antioxidant properties. This rosehip oil is coupled with 3% VC-IP (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) which is an oil-soluble vitamin C derivative. The combination brightens, repairs skin, fades scars and also reduces signs of photoaging.
The science behind this product: Rosehip Oil has been used for decades to treat skin scars or wounds. This particular repair property is attributed to its high content of essential fatty and unsaturated acids, namely - linoleic acid (54%), linolenic acid (17%) and oleic acid (16%) among others. These essential fatty acids are basic components of the phospholipids in cell membranes, to which they provide permeability and elasticity. These acids also play an essential role in the stability and functioning of the skin barrier.
Rosehip oil is further rich in vitamins, including vitamin C and vitamin A, making the oil a very potent antioxidant. Because of such a composition, rosehip oil is used for skin brightening, reduction of hyperpigmentation, fading acne scars, wound healing and reducing fine lines. This formulation is further boosted by a new generation, oil-soluble, vitamin C derivative, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate. This derivative is proven to have 6-10 times more uptake than ascorbic acid in Fibroblast. It is also proven to increase collagen synthesis greater than twofold over ascorbic acid at the same dosage.
This variant is stable at high temperatures and has good solubility in oils. It exhibits excellent percutaneous absorption and effectively converts into free vitamin C in the skin to perform various physiological functions. It promotes skin brightening by inhibiting tyrosinase activity, reduces UV-induced cell damage, acts as antioxidant and prevents skin aging, and lastly reverses signs of aging by boosting collagen synthesis and collagen protection.
Features:
- Brightens skin: Pure cold-pressed rosehip oil is rich in fatty acids, which is primarily linoleic acid, linolenic acid and oleic acid. It's also rich in antioxidant compounds, especially vitamin C and vitamin A, making it ideal for brightening, wound healing/scars treatment, repair and fighting photoaging.
- Reduces signs of photoaging: Additionally, this oil contains 3% VC-IP (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate), which is an oil-soluble vitamin C derivative with improved percutaneous absorption and stability. It can be absorbed transdermally and transferred into vitamin C effectively and hence inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, resulting in reduction of hyperpigmentation, prevents skin oxidation and UV damage.
- Suits all skin types: This product is safe for all skin types and is non-comedogenic.
- Clean and transparent beauty: This facial oil is free from fragrance. It is formulated with high-quality ingredients including Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate as VC-IP, which is a high-performance vitamin C derivative developed by Nikkol, Japan.

Minimalist Tranexamic 3% Serum is a powerful serum to effectively diminish the appearance of melasma, PIE, PIH and hyperpigmentation. With the power of 3% tranexamic acid and 1% hydroxyphenoxy propionic acid, this serum inhibits melanin transfer with great efficacy and prevents UVB damage.
The science behind this product: Tranexamic acid is a new generation molecule that inhibits melanin synthesis by interfering with the interaction between melanocytes and keratinocyte through inhibition of the plasminogen/plasmin system. External skin disruptors, such as UV light or injuries (like acne), cause the keratinocytes in our skin to produce plasminogen, that further start several processes like inflammation, increased tyrosinase activity, melanocyte differentiation, and transfer of melanosomes to upper skin layers. Tranexamic acid decelerates these processes by interfering with plasmin activity, and hence, in turn, indirectly inhibiting melanogenesis. Studies have shown that tranexamic acid, when applied topically, shows results similar to hydroquinone in the reduction of hyperpigmentation. It is also one of the most proven ingredients for the treatment of melasma.
Hydroxyphenoxy Propionic Acid (Radianskin) complements tranexamic acid as it has an innovative mechanism blocking the release of melanin by the melanocytes, an alternative to the inhibition of tyrosinase. HPA reduces melanogenesis by up to 86% and shows a greater depigmenting effect than ascorbyl glucoside, kojic acid and arbutin, and equivalent efficacy to hydroquinone without cytotoxicity. The formula also contains exfoliating acids like mandelic acid (3%) and salicylic acid (0.3%) which gently remove the dead cells from the top of the skin, boosting the performance of tranexamic acid and hydroxyphenoxy propionic acid, hence accelerating the reduction of hyperpigmentation and melasma.
Features:
- Proven to reduce melasma: Made with 3% tranexamic acid, which is a derivative of the amino acid lysine, this serum reduces the activity of melanocyte tyrosinase thereby treating melasma.
- What it contains: This serum contains 1% HPA (Hydroxyphenoxy Propionic Acid), which is proven to prevent melanogenesis better than ascorbyl glucoside, kojic acid and arbutin. Thus reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and post-inflammatory erythema (PIE). It also has equivalent efficacy to hydroquinone without cytotoxicity. The formula further contains 3% mandelic acid, which gently exfoliates and reduces acne scars.
- Suits all skin types: This serum is suitable for all skin types. Also, it is non-comedogenic and oil-free.
- Clean and transparent beauty: This serum is free from fragrance, silicone. Also, it is non-comedogenic, oil-free, and hypoallergenic. It is formulated at pH 3.8 - 4.8 with high-quality ingredients including HPA (Radianskin), which is a high performance active developed by BASF, Germany.
Consumer testing results:
- 8 out of 10 subjects saw an improvement in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in 6 weeks.
- 9 out of 10 subjects found reduction in melasma in 8 weeks.
- 8 out of 10 subjects found an improvement in skin tone and clarity in 6 weeks.
