The most effective way to achieve a brighter more even skin tone, free of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, has been found to turn the skin over and prevent the darkening of the new skin cells. Performing a peel and daily exfoliation with a combination Glycolic, Lactic and Kojic Acid exfoliator will jump start the turnover of the dead discolored skin. Treating the newly formed skin with proven skin lightening extracts such as Alpha Arbutin, Vitamin C, Licorice and Bearberry extracts can dramatically prevent the darkening process from ocurring. Protecting the skin from the sun's UV rays is also vital in getting the best results so an SPF like the Anti-Aging SPF30+ is sperfect as it contains Green Tea anti-oxidants, Argireline anti-wrinkle peptide and broad spectrum UVA & UVB protection.
