The hydroquinone-free cream for pigmentation, melasma and age spots
Most brightening products ask you to give something up. You get results but your skin dries out, or you get hydration but nothing really brightens. Brightening Complex doesn’t make you choose.
It’s a lightweight cream that targets uneven skin tone from several directions at once. Alpha-arbutin, a mushroom source of kojic acid, licorice root, Norwegian kelp and a stable form of vitamin C work on the look of pigmentation. Plant sources of salicylic, glycolic and lactic acid gently exfoliate, so pigmented surface cells shed more evenly. Hyaluronic acid, squalane, glycerin and iS Clinical’s Extremozyme technology keep skin hydrated while it works.
It’s lighter than a traditional moisturiser, so oilier skin can often use it on its own, and drier skin can layer a moisturiser on top. It can also be used on pigmentation on the neck, décolletage and backs of the hands.
Hydroquinone-free. Paraben-free.
Who it’s for:
Sun damage, age spots and uneven skin tone
Melasma and stubborn pigmentation, alongside strict daily SPF
Post-summer pigmentation
Dull, blotchy skin with rough texture
Anyone who wants brightening and hydration in one step
Anyone who wants to avoid hydroquinone
Common questions
Brightening Complex or Brightening Serum? They work well together but they’re different products. Brightening Serum is a lightweight serum focused on the look of dark spots. Brightening Complex is a cream that adds gentle exfoliating acids and hydration, so it can double as your moisturiser on oilier skin. For stubborn pigmentation, many of our clients use both: the serum first, then the Complex.
How do I use it? Apply a small amount to clean skin, morning, evening or both, over the face and neck or just the areas of pigmentation. Because it contains exfoliating acids, start once a day if your skin is sensitive, and always follow with SPF in the morning.
How long until I see results? Pigmentation is slow to shift, so give it at least a few months of daily use. Results depend on daily sunscreen too. UV and visible light keep pigmentation active, so without SPF you’re working against yourself.
“Pigmentation takes patience. The Brightening Complex is one I trust to do what it says, it is intense and potent but for the right client it is excellent and does not make the skin angry in the process.” - Caroline, Lucēre
APPLICATION: Apply a small amount to clean skin, smoothing over face and neck or areas of pigmentation. Use morning, evening or both. Always follow with SPF in the morning.
