Custom Even Tone Correcting Serum Details
Build a daily, multi-pathway serum that improves overall luminosity and helps visibly even tone while maintaining barrier comfort. Stack niacinamide 2–10% to reduce melanosome transfer and increase L*; tranexamic acid (TXA) 2–5% to interrupt plasmin-linked melanogenesis; vitamin C options such as 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid 1–3% or AA2G 2–5% for antioxidant brightening; plus alpha-arbutin 1–2% as a tyrosinase-pathway helper. Cushion daily wear with multi-weight hyaluronic acid 0.1–0.3% and panthenol 0.2–1% to support hydration and comfort. Clinical literature shows ≈5% niacinamide can reduce hyperpigmentation and increase lightness from ~4 weeks, topical TXA improves melasma indices within ~8–12 weeks (RCTs/meta-analyses), topical vitamin C supports antipigmentary benefits in cosmetic use, and the EU SCCS considers alpha-arbutin up to 2% in face creams safe.

System & pH recommendations
Water-light gel/serum (B3/TXA/EAA/AA2G): target pH 5.0–6.0; include chelators/antioxidants; fragrance-free option for sensitive-skin onboarding.
If using pure L-ascorbic acid: keep as a separate low-pH booster (≤3.5) or switch to ethyl ascorbic acid to preserve a neutral-pH serum.
AHA-hybrid variant (texture + tone): keep leave-on AHAs ≤10% at final pH ≥3.5 and include SPF guidance. (cir-safety.org, European Commission)
Packaging: UV-shielded amber or airless to limit oxidation; avoid copper-containing actives in builds with arbutin/kojic derivatives.

Competitive angles :
Fast-absorbing, non-sticky finish designed to layer cleanly under SPF/makeup.
Fragrance-free / essential-oil-free with a soothing stack (beta-glucan, panthenol) for sensitive-skin onboarding. (Europe PMC)
AM/PM duo: day = B3/TXA/VC at pH 5–6; night = AHA-hybrid (buffered) for texture + clarity; add refillable airless + travel minis for retail sustainability.
Industry benchmark vs. common builds:
Many “brightening” serums rely on a single active at modest levels. We engineer multi-pathway stacks (niacinamide + TXA + stable VC ± arbutin) with controlled pH, stability-minded packaging, and measurable outcomes (∆L*, spot area) to tell a performance-proven story rather than an “ingredient-named” story.
Claims & evidence (how we substantiate):
Pilot panel (4–8 / 8–12 weeks): image analysis of spot area/intensity; CIE Lab* colorimetry for even-tone; TEWL/capacitance for barrier & hydration; dermatologist grading/tolerability diary.

Hydroquinone (HQ): in the US, post-CARES Act (Sept 23, 2020) OTC HQ products are unapproved drugs and subject to FDA enforcement; in the EU, HQ is listed among prohibited substances in Annex II (limited artificial-nail exception).
