It helps with a variety of skin concerns, but what we are going to focus on today is how it fights brown spots, called hyperpigmentation. Skinbetter’s Even Tone has been clinically test and the results show it actually BEAT OUT 4% hydroquinone in clinical trials! No product has even shown to be equal to a 4% HQ before, and Skinbetter actually surpassed it!
 
Let’s breakdown the pigmentation ingredients and see why this Skinbetter Science Even Tone Correcting Serum is worth all the hype.

Ingredients Breakdown

Diglucosyl Gallic Acid- One of the most interesting ingredients in modern skin care. Diglucosyl Gallic Acid is a patented ingredient that uses microbes already on the skin’s surface to change forms into a useable cosmetic ingredient, Gallic Acid. Gallic Acid helps to brighten the skin and stop the production of melanin which produces hyperpigmentation or dark spots. What is fascinating is that Diglucosyl Gallic Acid is pretty much worthless without the good bacteria that is found on our skin. It uses our own skin’s microbiome to produce a valuable cosmetic ingredient that is revolutionizing the skincare industry. What is also unique about this product is that it not only helps with brown spots, but it also helps with yellow and red pigmentation in the skin.

Kakadu Plum Extract- Kakadu Plums are found in Australia and they are the world’s highest natural source for Vitamin C. Research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture says that the amount of Vitamin C in the Kakadu Plum is 55x greater than that of an orange. This powerful superfruit not only helps brighten the skin but also helps with inflammation, neutralizing free radicals, and overall skin protection.  

Hexylresorcinol- A valuable hydroquinone alternative that helps lighten and brighten the skin. Hexylresorcinol is less irritating than others in the resorcinol family. It assists with fight glycation in the skin which, in turn, slows the breakdown of collagen while protecting the skin from free radical damage.

Artemisia Capillaris Flower Extract – This Japanese herb has been used for centuries in eastern medicine for a variety of conditions including hepatitis, jaundice, and even headaches. Recently studies have been done to prove that this amazing flower can provide antimicrobial benefits as well as skin lightening benefits. Artemisia Capillaris specifically helps skin pigmentation caused by exposure to the sun.

Alpha-Arbutin- Although all Arbutin’s are in the hydroquinone family, they do not have the same carcinogenic affect as hydroquinone. Alpha-Arbutin comes from the Bearberry fruit and looks chemically similar to hydroquinone, however it has an attached sugar molecule on it’s tail. Alpha-Arbutin is not the same as Beta Arbutin which is more commonly found in skincare. The Alpha Arbutin is said to have a much broader impact on lightening and brightening the skin than any others in the Arbutin family. Many clinically studies have been done on this powerful berry and it has proven time and again to lighten pigmentation, specifically deep stubborn discoloration like that caused by melasma.  

Skinbetter Science Even Tone Correcting Serum contains many more functional ingredients that help with other pigmentation problems, specifically those targeting the yellow and red pigments. It also contains ceramides, peptides, and linoleic acids making it exceptionally beneficially beyond just reducing hyperpigmentation in the skin. It does not contain any ingredients that will break out oily skin or dry out dehydrated skin. Therefore, it is perfect for all skin types, and it should be an important part of all skin care regimens.

Hello,

Welcome to Harben House. I sincerely appreciate everyone who has taken the time to visit our site and read our story. I want to be sure that everyone has a delightful experience while shopping at Harben House. I know shopping for skincare and beauty products online can be tedious, so we strive to ease this process for you. 

Harben House is named after my two beautiful baby boys, Harrison and Benjamin. After an exhaustive attempt to create a clever, unique, and available store name, it made sense to go with a personal brand name. During conception, I kept going back to the essence of what I wanted Harben to be, a global health and beauty destination. I desired not to be tied down to one part of the beauty industry, as I plan to expand into additional areas of health and wellness. So, I kept going back to “Heath and Beauty.” HB just happened to be on the necklace I wear daily that I had personalized for Harrison and Benjamin. “Harben” quickly came to me, and soon after, Harben House was established.

My vision is for Harben House to be a medical aesthetic wellness destination that helps customers choose products that fit their individual needs. Through myself, and our panel of experts, we can design skincare routines and pick products specific to your needs. We strive to take the guess work out of buying beauty products online and make it so that you can buy products that truly work with confidence.

I personally thank you for supporting Harben House. Please know, our door is always open.

WELCOME HOME.

What skincare products does the plastic surgeon use?

We get asked this daily in our offices. Who doesn't want to know what a Plastic Surgeon is using on their skin? We've gone behind the counter with our in-house Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to see exactly what secrets she has for healthy skin.

You shouldn’t have to choose between clear skin and a fit lifestyle. Whether you are sweating it out inside a spin class or running outdoors, perspiring during a workout can wreck your complexion. We will breakdown these breakouts and help you choose the products right for you. 

We get TONS of comments on our Instagram asking for our top picks and routine recommendations. With so many new products on the market these days, it is insanely hard to narrow down these recommendations. There are DOZENS of options with your skin care routine, but alas, we have compiled our top picks for AM / PM routines for multiple skin types.

When our owner told us she found a new brand she was obsessed with about a month ago, of course I trusted her skincare expertise. That said, in the skincare world, you might hear the phrase "I am obsessed with this," 40 times per day. It wasn't until she booked a training with our sister-store, Beleza MedSpa, that I really understood what she had found.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a big name in the aesthetics marketplace primarily due to the evolving dermal filler market. Medically injected Hyaluronic Acid has been used now for over 20 years. Hyaluronic Acid has been used in skincare products for decades as well.
