Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessCARE Gloss-M

A Multi-Pathway Approach to Skin Brightening

AccessCARE Gloss-M is engineered with six complementary actives that work across multiple biological pathways to achieve a luminous, even complexion. By targeting melanin synthesis, transfer, surface expression, and oxidative stress, this balanced complex provides comprehensive brightening with skin-supporting benefits.

  • Tyrosinase Inhibition: Tranexamic Acid and Nonapeptide-1 help interrupt melanin synthesis by inhibiting tyrosinase, reducing the formation of new dark spots.
  • Melanin Transfer Inhibition: Niacinamide reduces the transfer of melanin from melanocytes to keratinocytes, visibly minimizing spot intensity.
  • Gentle Surface Exfoliation: Mandelic Acid (AHA) and Maltobionic Acid (PHA) promote cell turnover to lift away pigmented surface cells and reveal fresher-looking skin.
  • Antioxidant & Anti-Glycation: Carnosine helps defend against glycation-related dullness and oxidative stress to maintain a brighter, more uniform tone.
  • Barrier Support & Hydration: Niacinamide reinforces the skin barrier while humectant-rich Maltobionic Acid boosts moisture for a plumper, healthier look.

Formulation Guidelines for Optimal Performance

AccessCARE Gloss-M is a pre-solubilized, water-based complex for effortless incorporation into serums, emulsions, and water gel systems.

  • Usage Rate: 2% to 5% in the finished formula.
  • pH Stability: Target a final pH of 4.5–6.0 to balance exfoliating activity with Niacinamide and peptide stability.
  • Processing: Add to the water phase or during cool-down below 40 °C (104 °F) to protect actives.
  • Compatibility: Compatible with common cosmetic ingredients (e.g., hyaluronic acid, ceramides, non-acidic actives). When combining with other acids or potent actives like retinol, conduct stability and compatibility testing.

Frequently Asked Questions About AccessCARE Gloss-M

It contains six ingredients that work on different stages of the pigmentation process: it inhibits melanin production (Tranexamic Acid, Nonapeptide-1), reduces melanin transfer (Niacinamide), gently exfoliates existing spots (Mandelic/Maltobionic Acids), and provides antioxidant and anti-glycation defense (Carnosine).
The recommended usage level is 2% to 5% in finished formulations to achieve visible brightening and even-tone benefits.
Aim for a final pH between 4.5 and 6.0 to support the stability and efficacy of the acids, Niacinamide, and peptide components.
The complex uses gentler exfoliants (Mandelic Acid and Maltobionic Acid) that are generally well tolerated. However, as with any active product, patch testing is recommended for very sensitive skin.
Yes. It can complement Vitamin C and retinol in a routine. For best stability, formulate them in separate products or use at different times of day (e.g., Gloss-M and Vitamin C in the morning, retinol at night).
Carnosine provides anti-glycation support to help protect collagen, while the exfoliating acids promote cell renewal for smoother texture. Niacinamide enhances barrier function and elasticity—all contributing to a more youthful, radiant appearance.
