Reviews

Significant lightening of dark spots in only 5 weeks

"I have very fair skin and have used facial sunscreens faithfully. Despite this I have irregular brown spots on my 68-year-old face. After 5 weeks using 2 powerbright products , I have had significant lightening of the brown spots on my checks. Hoping they will be totally unnoticeable with continued application. Sorry forgot to take picture prior to use. Did not get these improvements with vit C products and desquamating products such as glycolic acid products. I would definitely recommend this product."

— Andrea K. (5/5)

Good Quality

"As someone who deals with hyperpigmantation and has dark spots this helped relive some darkness. I didn't see a huge difference but I did see some improvement. Idk if im willing to spend this much again for myself but can see this benefiting someone who doesnt need as much work as I do"

Q&A

Do I need to wash the dark spot peel by cleanser or just water?: Hi there, Remah! Please rinse off the Powerbright Dark Spot Peel with just water! Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Is it safe to use the powerbright stop system during summer? I live in a hot climate and go to the beach a lot: Hi there, Eli! It's fantastic that you're considering the Powerbright Dark Spot System for your skincare routine. Yes, you can use it even during the sunny summer months! While you're enjoying the beach, remember to shield your skin with a hat to minimize direct sunlight exposure. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
After applying dark spot serum in the morning, is it okay to apply vit c serum?: Hello Lark, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. In general, we do not suggest layering more than one serum. Active ingredients work best when they have access to the skin, and some serum formulas create a barrier which may prevent a second serum from penetrating the skin. For maximum benefit, we recommend incorporating more than one into your routine by using one in the AM and one in the PM. Kind Regards, Willow Virtual Professional Skin Therapist
Can you use the spot peel with the dynamic retinol: Hi Emem, thank you for your question! I do not recommend using the Powerbright Dark Spot Peel with the Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum the first 4-5 days you will be using the Powerbright Dark Spot Peel. Once you are done using the peel for 4-5 days straight, and adjusted to using it 2-3 times a week, then you can add in the Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum to your routine! This will help build your skin's tolerance and prevent skin sensitivity. I hope this information helps! Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Does the powerbright work on melasma?: Hi there, Regina! Yes, the Powerbright Dark Spot Serum can work on melasma. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
