Professional De-Tan Pack with Kojic, Lactic Acid & Arbutin

A competent but unremarkable tan-removal mask with solid brightening actives undermined by fragrance overload and questionable pH optimization. The formula contains clinically relevant concentrations of Kojic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Arbutin—a synergistic trio for melanin suppression and exfoliation. However, the efficacy score is capped at 4.1 due to three critical flaws: (1) The dual AHA system (Lactic + Malic Acid) lacks explicit pH buffering confirmation; AHAs require pH 3.0–4.0 for efficacy, and the presence of Triethanolamine as a buffer suggests the formula may be pH-neutral or higher, rendering exfoliation suboptimal. (2) Essential oil overload—Peppermint, Geranium, and Clove oils are listed as fragrance/perfuming agents and carry irritation risk (Peppermint and Geranium are flagged 'icky' by cosmetic chemists), particularly problematic in a product targeting compromised, sun-damaged skin. (3) Ingredient concentrations are not disclosed; Kojic Acid and Arbutin efficacy thresholds are typically 2–5%, but their position mid-list suggests subtherapeutic levels. The formula is preservative-heavy (Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, BHT, Sodium Metabisulfite) and includes BHT, a controversial antioxidant with potential endocrine concerns. Titanium Dioxide inclusion is a plus for UV protection but redundant in a rinse-off mask. The sachet packaging (12g × 6) is excellent for preserving actives and preventing oxidation.

This is a fragrance free skincare formula, making it suitable as fragrance free skincare for sensitive skin. The Gold Standard active ingredients in RAAGA Professional De-Tan Pack with Kojic, Lactic Acid & Arbutin are Kojic Acid, Lactic Acid, Titanium Dioxide.
