    I’m just curious to know if anyone here uses this brand. I have recently purchased a few of their products (Vital c line and Iluma lightening serum).  I always do my research and I wass happy to see that:

     – they don’t use parabens
    – they don’t use hydroquinone, however, they do use Arbutin which turns to hydroquinone – so I now don’t know if this is a good thing
    Anyway, I would love to hear what peoples’ views are on this brand.
    ps. I’m so thrilled I discovered the Beauty Brains!

    Well, the best science to data says parabens are fine so I don’t see the problem there. 

    Hydroquinone is ok when used properly. It’s still the gold standard for skin lightening.

    I also think there’s not a big problem with parabens, irritation or negative skin reactions are quite rare, although Butylparaben and Propylparaben have some health concerns. Preservatives you should avoid:

    • methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone
    • quaternium-15
    • 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diolaka (AkaBronopol)
    • diazolidinyl urea
    • imidazolidinyl urea
    • DMDM Hydantoin
