Yes! The Ultra Potent Brightening Serum is designed to be effective, rather than gentle, and dark spots are some of the hardest skin care concerns to address. Because of the potent ingredients we use, you can expect to see some level of redness, dryness and potentially even new darkening before you see results.
To help combat these, we recommend spot testing the Brightening Serum before regular use to find out how often your skin can handle the serum. If you do not see irritation, the serum can be applied up to twice a day, or as infrequently as every other day while still being effective. Please be aware that using the serum less frequently will increase the time needed to see results.
Applying the Brightening Serum with a moisturizer and aloe vera will also help combat irritation, and we recommend these even if you aren’t seeing visible irritation.
If redness or irritation persists or becomes severe, discontinue use.
