| Verdict | Martiderm's Pigment Zero DSP-Bright stacks five depigmenting mechanisms in one ampoule formula: tranexamic acid (gold-standard melasma drug), hexylresorcinol (Synovea HR — the potent tyrosinase inhibitor), ascorbyl glucoside (stable vitamin C), niacinamide (melanin transfer inhibitor), and Bellis Perennis (daisy flower extract — alpha-MSH antagonist). €72 for genuinely uncommon five-pathway pigmentation work. | Sesderma's hero vitamin C serum — and the orange-tinted formulation that put the brand on the global map. The hero active is liposomal ascorbyl glucoside, a stable vitamin C derivative encapsulated in phosphatidylcholine liposomes (the orange tint is the natural colour of the encapsulated molecule, not added dye). The liposomal delivery solves two problems traditional vitamin C serums share: stability (sealed inside the liposome, the active doesn't oxidise on contact with air) and irritation (the liposome carries the active deeper into the skin without flooding the surface). Beta-glucan adds soothing, allantoin calms, vitamin E provides antioxidant network support. At $45 for 30ml, mid-tier pricing — and the most accessible liposomal vitamin C serum in any beauty origin. |
