Double your skin lightening power with our serum and topical supplement (
Pacific Skin Lightening Duet) to get the best results in the shortest time.
Unlike skin lightening treatments that use harsh chemicals to strip the top layers of skin and inhibit melanin production, we believe in a natural, safer and slower approach. The ingredients we use make all the difference.
KEY INGREDIENTS
Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine
This amino acid chain naturally brightens skin and evens skin tones, without the downside risk of ingredients like hydroquinone that aggressively bleach the skin, potentially removing more pigment than desired.
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
This water-soluble, non-irritating, stable derivative of Vitamin C lightens skin by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme that triggers melanin production. It also delivers other Vitamin C benefits like boosting collagen synthesis and acting as a powerful antioxidant.
Niacinamide and glucosamine
Niacinamide inhibits melanin production and has long been used to lighten skin. Better still, a study conducted in 2006 by Proctor and Gamble showed that the combination of glucosamine and niacinamide synergistically treat hyperpigmentation, dark spots and uneven skin tones in UV damaged skin cells. Prior to this study, glucosamine was not even considered as a skin lightening ingredient in cosmetics.

"In the nearly 2 weeks that I have been using the MV Pacific line, I have seen marked improvement in my skin. Amazingly, I have only had 1 rosacea flare-up in these entire 12 days (!), and it was very minor. This is truly huge because I previously had 1 to 2 significant flare-ups every single day for the past year, and my skin was in a constant "reactive" state. I am beyond surprised that I would see such a huge difference so fast (and also that anything could help my skin) especially given how many different skin lines I've tried in the past 13 months since developing rosacea. My skin truly appears to be healing. Even the persistent redness that is always there (regardless of whether I am having a flare-up) is diminishing. Marie was actually in the store when I was there 12 days ago and she suggested that I switch from the micronized zinc sunscreen I had been using for a couple of years to her non-nano formula instead, which I did. I think that this in particular has made a huge difference since it calmed my skin from the first time I tried it. She also suggested a daily Turmeric & Vitamin C supplement, which I have been taking. Anyway, I am beyond thrilled and plan to continue using the Pacific line. My skin hasn't looked this good in over a year!" -- Rebecca J.

"I’ll put in my two cents and say I recently tried MVO’s Pacific line (based on a recommendation from this blog) and my skin is completely transformed. I’ve tried every clean product on the market, and I can easily say these are the most effective products out there, for me at least. And I don’t work for the company! I’m just a product junkie. So while $375 may seem like a lot, I would go for it based on my experience with MVO. I completely trust them based on my experience so far." -- Alison

Hyperpigmentation, which can look like age spots or areas of darker pigmented skin, is not age–dependent, but rather sun-dependent. Sure, other factors like genetic predisposition and skin color play a part, but generally speaking the amount of sun exposure received is directly proportional to incidence of sun damage.
When exposed to the sun, the skin produces melanin, which creates pigmentation in the skin. Pacific Night Serum for Skin Lightening uses a combination of botanicals, vitamins and amino acids (rather than toxins) to inhibit melanin production, addressing the cause of hyperpigmentation (skin discoloration that we do not want) at the source. With consistent applications, Pacific Night Serum for Skin Lightening gradually, naturally and effectively lightens age spots and evens blotchy skin tones.
Patience is required. Skin lightening by natural methods takes longer, and successful results are dependent on severity of damage. But the gradual methods we use make sure that the hyperpigmentation won’t come back later.
"Intelligent Ingredients" is more than just a tagline. It’s the overriding principle that guides every formulation at Marie Veronique Organics. That’s because science tells us that what goes on your skin ultimately penetrates your skin and goes into your body. The right ingredients can do a world of good and the wrong ones quite the opposite. Before an ingredient gets added to a product we make sure it does the right thing, efficiently and without causing harm to you or the planet.
Using our deep scientific understanding of the aging process, we turn to nature for potent ingredients that will counter—and even reverse—the effects of aging skin. Our ingredients are selected to penetrate deep within the skin, working exactly where the aging action happens, rather than simply staying on the surface. And above all else, we stand by our philosophy that toxic ingredients, harmful chemicals, artificial agents and preservatives are not the solution for making your skin look and feel younger.
It’s probably no surprise that our entire company is dedicated to sustainability. Wherever possible we use natural, organic and fair trade ingredients, packaged in 100% recyclable materials. And we source them as close to our Mill Valley headquarters as possible to keep our footprint super small.
Shake well before use and keep in a cool place. Apply thin layer to face, neck and chest after using cleanser, mist and face oil. If irritation develops, discontinue use and consult physician.
