Manjistha Cream for Pigmentation & Dark Spots
Prakrutik Manjistha Cream is a targeted nighttime cream created for pigmentation, dark spots, dullness and uneven-looking skin tone. The formula combines 5.59% Manjistha Extract and 4.20% Licorice Extract with Kojic Acid, Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid to support gradual brightening and gentle surface exfoliation.
Shea Butter, Argan Oil, Wheatgerm Oil, Vegetable Glycerine and Olivem 1000 help maintain a comfortable, nourished skin feel while the active ingredients work as part of your PM routine. Saffron, Curcumin and Kumkumadi further complement the traditional botanical complexion-care profile.
"Pigmentation usually needs patience and a consistent routine rather than an aggressive approach.
I created this cream by combining traditional complexion-care botanicals such as Manjistha, Licorice, Saffron and Curcumin with modern brightening and exfoliating ingredients including Kojic Acid, Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid.
The goal is to support a more even-looking, brighter complexion gradually while keeping the skin nourished with Shea Butter, Argan Oil and Wheatgerm Oil. Use it at night and make sunscreen part of your morning routine."
