Description
Brighten is the perfect starting point if your skin is showing early signs of pigmentation, uneven tone, or dullness. This gentle yet effective peel blends Tranexamic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, and Gluconolactone (PHA) to lightly exfoliate, calm inflammation, and visibly brighten the complexion, all while supporting and strengthening the skin barrier.
Whether your concerns stem from sun exposure, post-breakout marks, or a lack of overall radiance, Brighten is designed to create a more even, glowing complexion and prepare your skin for more intensive treatments ahead.
Best for:
• Uneven or patchy skin tone
• Mild pigmentation concerns
• Dull, tired-looking skin
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Important:
For best results and safety, the skin must be prepped with a tyrosinase inhibitor for two weeks prior to treatment.
