SkinMedica's 'Lytera 2.0' serum is a pigment correction skincare product that works towards evening out skin tone and tackles any discoloration. The driving ingredients behind the product are tranexamic acid, phenylethyl resorcinol, niacinamide and tetrapeptide-30, marine extract blend, and phytic acid.
The tranexamic acid works to correct the overall appearance of hyper-pigmentation, whereas the phenylmethyl resorcinol balances melanin. The niacinamide and tetrapeptide-30 support the skin's barrier and phytic acid enhances the feel of the skin. The Lytera 2.0 serum is meant for the neck, face, and decollete areas. Notable, it is free of any paraben and features vitamin C, retinol, herbal extracts, and squalane oils. SkinMedica recommends application twice a day, used in conjunction with SPF 20 protection.
