"I love this mask. It works really well. I use it at night/2 times a week. And, the powerbright dark spot serum during the day. It fades dark spots and pigment rapidly. And, effectively. The packaging on the mask is a little wonky. But, dermalogica is great about making sure the customer is happy. And, replaced my first tube due to a package error. Thanks Dermalogica."
"This product is amazing. Very easy to use treatment for dark spots. I used as directed and within a couple weeks dark spots had visibly reduced. I used it less in the summer since I’m in the sun quite a bit but come fall/winter I use it religiously and it works great to even out my complexion. Exactly the outcome I was looking for. Love love love Dermalogica products ."
"I've been using this peel for 2 weeks consistently and I've already noticed my dark spots are lighter. This is a very gentle peel. I have very sensitive skin and have had no redness or irritation after use."
"It works. I was skeptical until I tried it. I have a darker freckle on my cheek which now you can’t see once I put on my foundation."
"This is my second dark spot peel, i used it as recommended and was very happy with the results. Am now using it just once a month as most of the spots have faded and not many new ones are showing up thanks to serum and SPF 50 moisturizer."
"Soo good love this makes my skin so glowy"
"I’ve been using the four-part Power Bright line for two or three weeks: peel followed by night cream, and serum followed by SPF. My melanin-challenged complexion (blonde, blue eyes, wrong latitude) has amassed a good lot of freckles, some dark spots, some hyperpigmentation, and some stubborn blackheads on the tip of my nose that normally only disappear in humid, salty, sunny weather. (Tri-Luma worked wonders on my melasma years ago. ) A couple weeks in, a pair of especially dark freckles (my focal points for progress) are fading tangibly. My skin is clearer and brighter, not to mention soft and smooth. The most surprising side effect (besides how immediate were the objective results against excess pigmentation) has been that the peel has loosened and freed the microscopic comedones that persistently pepper the end of my nose. I’m not sure I can retire this peel, the effect is so lovely."
"Works as described"
"This does not work."
"I’ve used the peel a few times and while I need to use it more often and with a dark spot serum to totally notice results, the first few treatments have made my skin feel refreshed and smooth."
