A non-hydroquinone brightening option for improvement in the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. Gently exfoliates to help smooth skin texture.
Pigmentation – “I have uneven tone, and brown spots that are large and/or significantly darker than the rest of my skin tone; I want lightening”
Vivier Advanced Skin Lightening Serum
PATENTED HYDROQUINONE USP 2% WITH L-ASCORBIC ACID USP
All skin types especially moderate to severe hyperpigmented skin. Powerful skin lightening and anti-aging ingredients. The most effective way to diminish dark spots and brighten the skin.
*When it comes to treating hyperpigmentation, a multi-product approach is the most effective as lightening and brightening dark sports requires a number of active ingredients. Check out Vivier Hyperpigmentation Program (Non-HQ) for mild pigmentation concerns or Vivier Hyperpigmentation Program (2% HQ) for more severe pigmentation concerns.
How and when to use Vitamin C?
Vitamin C serums may be applied once or twice daily. If you’re using it once per day, opt for the morning. Vitamin C applied in the morning will actively fight free-radical damage throughout the day – it can even work as a secondary protector against sun damage. (Don’t skip the sunscreen, Vitamin C won’t protect you from burning, rather it fights what damage may be happening to your cells upon sun exposure.) Apply your serum after cleansing and toning but before moisturizers, creams, and SPF. Just 2-3 drops for your face and another 2 drops for your neck and decolletage will suffice. Pat or gently press the product into your skin until it has fully absorbed.
Until next time!
Stay safe, stay healthy.
