Multi-Pathway Brightening Science Without Hydroquinone

A physician-developed brightening cream formulated for the appearance of melasma, dark spots, and uneven tone through five complementary ingredient systems — gentle enough for sensitive skin.

MD® Ultimate White is built on five complementary ingredient systems — not just one — for visibly brighter, more even-looking skin. The hero complex layers Tranexamic Acid (a dermatologist-favored molecule used in formulas for melasma-prone skin), Kojic Acid (rice-fermentation-derived, for the look of dark spots), Arbutin (a gentle, well-studied brightening ingredient), Retinyl Propionate (stable Vitamin A for cell renewal), and Mandelic Acid (almond-derived AHA for surface exfoliation).

Unlike traditional brightening creams that rely on harsh hydroquinone, MD's hydroquinone-free formula works through complementary cosmetic systems — well-studied brightening ingredients, gentle exfoliation, surface renewal, and antioxidant support.

Licorice Root Extract and Ferulic Acid help keep the formula comfortable and add antioxidant support, so it suits sensitive skin and post-procedure routines. Hydroquinone-free. Dermatologist-formulated. Designed for all skin types.
