Propylene Glycol- is a humectant (like glycerin), so it helps retain moisture. Petroleum derivative
Liquorice- is a safe natural skin lightener
Apergillus Ferment- fungus/mold extract, also used as a skin lightener. Some consider it as a more "powerful and stable form" of Kojic acid.
Betula Alba- (aka birch bark extract), prevents bacteria and fungus from growing, also used as a natural preservative. Known to have therapeutic properties.
Citrus Limonum- an emollient that conditions the skin, as well as for fragrance.
Rarnbucus Nigra- I couldn't find anything on this, I know "nigra"means black, but could find no definition or translation for "rarnbucus".
Rubus Fructicosus-(shrubby blackberry/bramble blackberry), conditions the skin.
Tilla Bulgaris- used for fragrance, also moisturizes and conditions the skin.
Ethoxydiglicol-
Aqua (aka water)
Sodium Lactate- It's a solvent used to help thin out products.
Sodium Metabisulite- Used as a preservative as well as an antioxidant, can possibly be irritating to some people's skin.

Just an update on this product. Do NOT use it on your face. It's way too strong to be used on the face. And after further examination I read on the bottle it's made especially for knees, elbows, hands, and such. At first it made my face really bright. Then really really really really light gray. It was hideous. THEN it started to peel. And now my skin looks back to how it was before I started using it. THANK GOD. But that was a scary period. That was all over a weeks time. So I'll be using it on my body and not my face. Lol.

Yes, thanks for the review and your experiences with it. That's a lot of transitions to go through in one week.. lol. Will you be trying it on the knuckles as well? Those are the hardest for me to lighten.
Oh,I didn't realize I forgot to define , it's used as a solvent and carrier in skin care products. Ethoxydiglycol

Which 55H serum did you use? I notice that some of the bottles are a different colour.
