Gerda Spillmann has been studying and using these natural powerhouse ingredients for over 70 years.

8 botanical reasons to try the new Swiss Brightening Cream
NEW – Swiss Brightening Cream is an advanced Anti-Aging moisturizer with 8 botanical extracts that help to revitalize the appearance of your skin, even out skin tone, diminish age spots and promote a balanced pH.
The unique concentrated ingredients of 8 Swiss plant extracts work day and night to help break the cycle of negative environmental influences and irritation that can lead to hyperpigmentation and sun damage. The result is a more balanced, hydrated and healthy skin complexion.
Formulated with Gigawhite, a plant-derived, preservative-free skin lightener used as an alternative to hydroquinone. Gigawhite has been proven in scientific lab studies to have a significant skin brightening effect with regular topical use. It was additionally shown to reduce the color and size of age spots in a twelve week in-vivo study.
After 12 weeks of treatment a 28.6% decrease in color of the age spots was observed, while size decreased by 8.6%.
The NEW GS SWISS BRIGHTENING CREAM includes 8 Botanical 
Ingredients grown and cultivated exclusively in the alpine elevations of Switzerland: Mallow Extract, Peppermint, Primula (Cowslip), Lady’s Mantel, Speedwell Herb, Balm Mint, Yarrow and Swiss Edelweiss. In addition to these Swiss ingredients the Brightening Cream also includes Tamarind Seed Extract, Jojoba, Avocado Fruit Extract, Sunflower Seed extract and Licorice Root.
Gigawhite skin whitening results were evaluated after 3 months (12 weeks) of continued, consistent use by visual evaluation and objective color measurement. Substantial changes were observed after just six weeks of treatment, with scores showing a lightening of 12.2%. After three months even more whitening is observed with a decrease in spot darkness of 24%.
Gigawhite combined with the potent power of Swiss Edelweiss (twice as effective as 
Vitamin C) and Tamarind Seed Extract, the GS Swiss Brightening Cream, is a silky, powerful and lightweight cream that not only helps to visibly lighten age spots, sun damage and hyperpigmentation but also works effectively to combat premature signs of aging, sagging skin and promotes a healthy, balanced pH for glowing, younger looking skin.

Anti-aging skincare with natural ingredients
We all want to look our best at every age but at what cost to the health of our skin?
There are creams, lotions and potions that claim to offer the seemingly impossible by defying gravity or turning back the clocks. While most of these products promise you results, their actual effectiveness is short-lived. Silicone is a great example of a product that can temporarily make your skin feel smooth, allow your makeup to look flawless and cause, sometimes irreversible, damage your skin at the same time. Read more about why silicone is bad here.
Hydration and sun protection are two of the most important things we can do to help protect our skin from showing premature signs of aging, suffering from skin damage and protect against acne/breakouts. Using products that contain healthy, high quality ingredients the key to which products you should use.
