skin brightening

When you don’t protect your skin from the sun 365 days a year (yes, every day), brown spots, uneven skin tone, and premature aging of skin is inevitable. If you’re starting to see dark spots, skin lighteners containing 2% hydroquinone are considered the gold standard for making them lighter. Hydroquinone is the active ingredient we use in our Triple Action Dark Spot Erasers. To make uneven skin tone more even and radiant, skin-brightening products are the perfect choice. For our Paula’s Choice Skincare brightening products, we chose the best combination of ingredients based on the latest research.

Skin brighteners will gradually (for some it’ll be sooner, for others slower) minimize signs of dullness and noticeably improve an uneven skin tone, leaving it smoother, more vibrant, and younger-looking. Brighteners can be used alone if brown spots or darker areas of discoloration aren’t a concern, but if they are, you’ll want to add a skin-lightening product with hydroquinone. Using these two types of products together (again, with daily sun protection) often produces the best results!
