Overview
IQNATURAL sits in a useful price bracket between drugstore and professional brands. What makes it stand out is the combination of glycolic acid with kojic acid and vitamin C — three ingredients that all target hyperpigmentation through different mechanisms. If dark spots, uneven skin tone, or post-acne marks are your main concern alongside general exfoliation, this layered brightening approach is genuinely smart. The creamy texture is also a welcome change from the gel formulas that dominate this category.
- Kojic acid + Vitamin C for brightening

Our Verdict
IQNATURAL delivers solid value for anyone whose primary skincare concern is hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone alongside general exfoliation. The brightening ingredient stack (glycolic + kojic + vitamin C) is well-thought-out. It won't deliver the dramatic exfoliation results of Glytone, but for consistent gentle use with brightening benefits, it earns its place in our top picks.
