Start fading the appearance of dark spots within days: advanced serum begins to diminish the appearance of uneven pigmentation fast, and keeps working to even skin tone over time.
Light-diffusing technology begins to balance the appearance of uneven pigmentation after one use, and continues working over time with potent Niacinamide and Hexylresorcinol to help fade dark spots. Skin care powerhouse Shiitake Mushroom – rich in beta glucans – brightens skin, while adaptogenic Ashwagandha smoothes and delivers antioxidant benefits. Black Currant Oil and Peony Flower help boost skin’s natural luminosity. Skin-shielding actives help protect against pollution-induced dark spots.
Each morning after cleansing and toning, apply one pump over face and neck in light, upward strokes. Allow one minute for product absorption.

"So let me be clear I was pretty consistent with use - although not every day and thought the results were mixed at best. Then it just seemed like I looked at the dark spots that seemed most noticeable to me and they were visibly lighter. I think with more consistent use (every day) I may have seen results sooner. It is not an "overnight" fix, it takes time but absolutely works. Make sure you let it really absorb in your skin before continuing your skin routine."
"I had two very dark spots for about 2-3 years and finally with this cream it went away!! Like magic no need of anything else"
"Powerbright dark serum has made a big difference in the sun spots on my face. They are much less obvious as the have become lighter."
"My skin looked better after one use but I think the trick is to pair it with the Powerbright SPF 50 lotion. Excited to continue using it and to track results."
"Since prices have gone up in general and funds are limited but I was desperate I was apprehensive about trying it and splurging. Ugh so worth it Dermalogica consistently knocks it out tbe park"
"Love this product! Makes me look so much better and it very easy to apply."
"Excellent product"
"This under my retinol every other night has completely eliminated a hormonal dark spot on my face and neck. I highly recommend it. ."
"I have one brown spot I’ve been trying to fade and have used various products. I’m seeing a bit of fading. Not very quickly. Going to continue. I’m also using the mask once a week"
"I started using Dermalogica darkspot corrector a couple of years ago. My darkspots are gone and my face feels smooth and skin looks beautiful"
