Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.
What the gurus are saying
Oxyresveratrol and tetrapeptide work together to block tyrosinase, the enzyme that produces melanin, making this particularly effective for stubborn hyperpigmentation and melasma that does not respond well to other treatments. Gurus praise it as a gentler alternative to prescription options like hydroquinone, especially for those too sensitive for vitamin C. The dual-bottle design keeps the antioxidant fresh throughout use, since antioxidants break down quickly once exposed to air.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
