Glow Starts Here

Give your glow a jumpstart. This hydroquinone-free formula helps fade dark spots, reduce inflammation, and brighten skin tone.

- Fades dark spots and brightens dull skin without hydroquinone or harsh ingredients.
- Balances and tones with Witch Hazel and Aloe, while MSM soothes inflammation.
- Glycolic Acid gently exfoliates to boost skin clarity and glow.
- Perfect for those experiencing hyperpigmentation, sun damage, or stress-related dullness.
- Apply 2–3 drops to clean, toned skin.
- Gently massage the face and neck using upward strokes.
- Follow with moisturizer and SPF (AM routine).
Why You’ll See Multiple Ingredient Lists
To ensure the highest quality, stability, and regulatory compliance, the Brighten & Glow Serum has undergone minor refinements, typically under 2%, over the years, as part of routine modernization and improved ingredient sourcing.
Across all versions, the serum’s core identity remains consistent: a brightening, resurfacing AHA-based formula featuring glycolic acid, willow bark, MSM, licorice, reishi, ginseng, gotu kola, and a supportive blend of antioxidant-rich botanicals.
The January 2025 update reflects a cleaner, more refined evolution of the original serum, with all key actives and performance benefits fully preserved.
Because our products have a two-year shelf life, you may receive a prior version depending on production timing. For complete transparency, we have included:
- Pre-2025 Formula
- 2025–Present Formula
If you have questions about your batch, we’re always here to help!
