06 — THE EVIDENCE
THE EVIDENCE, NOT JUST THE CLAIM.
Skincare marketing can make almost anything sound impressive. We would rather show you the research.
Our Evidence Library connects key active ingredients with published research so you can understand what has been studied, how it was studied, and how relevant that evidence is to the product you're using. Research on an ingredient does not automatically mean the finished Beyond Skin formulation has been clinically tested. When the evidence applies to an ingredient rather than our finished formula, we tell you. No blurred lines. No invented percentages. Just better-informed skincare.
How to Use
- 01Apply evenly to cleansed face and neck and massage until absorbed.
- 02Suggested sequence: AHA/BHA Cleanser → toner (Replenishing or Centella) → Brightening Complex → Pigmentation Cream.
- 03Because this routine contains multiple actives, daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential every morning.
- 04Confirm exact manufacturer directions before finalising.
Who It's For
SCIENCE & CLINICAL REFERENCES
The research behind the actives in this product
These references relate to the individual active ingredients, as studied in published research. Unless an entry says otherwise, they are not clinical trials of the finished Beyond Skin formulation — ingredient-level evidence does not mean the finished product has been clinically tested.

INGREDIENT
Glutathione
AUTHOR / STUDY
Watanabe et al. — Topical oxidised glutathione, double-blind placebo-controlled trial (30 women, 10 weeks).
JOURNAL
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology
YEAR
2014
EVIDENCE TYPE
CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIAL
WHAT WAS STUDIED
A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study investigated a 2% oxidised glutathione lotion in 30 women over 10 weeks, reporting a significantly lower melanin index versus placebo and improvements in several skin-condition measurements.
RELEVANCE TO THIS INGREDIENT
For antioxidant support and complexion-brightening positioning.
The study used 2% OXIDISED glutathione. We do not imply that Beyond Skin Pigmentation Cream contains 2% oxidised glutathione unless formulation data confirms this.

Tranexamic acid in melasma — focused review.
JOURNAL
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology
YEAR
2023
EVIDENCE TYPE
REVIEW
WHAT WAS STUDIED
A focused review concluded that topical TXA is a safe and effective option in melasma management. This is ingredient evidence, not a treatment claim for this cream.

JOURNAL
Phytotherapy Research

WHAT WAS STUDIED
A review highlights α-arbutin's potential in hyperpigmentation-related use; an evidence record will be confirmed once appropriate human/review evidence is verified.
RELEVANCE TO THIS INGREDIENT

Phytotherapy Research
YEAR
2008
EVIDENCE TYPE

Extract-specific evidence applies only once exact ingredient identity is verified.
RELEVANCE TO THIS INGREDIENT
To soothe, hydrate and condition alongside brightening actives.
Liquorice extract identity must be confirmed before specific claims.
VIEW STUDY
We separate ingredient-level evidence from finished-product clinical evidence. Where research investigates an ingredient, we say so. Where it investigates a finished formulation, we say that too. We do not present one as the other.
