Brighten. Correct. Even. Protect.
PIGMENTATION BRIGHTENING PROTOCOL
The GLOW Pigmentation Brightening Protocol combines Crush, Serve, Ravish, Sin, Shade, Reveal, Tease and Siren in a simple routine to fade dark spots, even skin tone and restore radiance.
WHAT CAUSES PIGMENTATION?
Pigmentation happens when the skin produces too much melanin in certain areas. The most common causes are sun exposure (sun spots and age spots), hormones (melasma, often during pregnancy or with the pill), and inflammation such as acne or aesthetic treatments (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). The result is dark spots, patches and an uneven, dull skin tone — and UV exposure makes all of them darker.
An even, radiant complexion comes down to four things:
- Brighten: antioxidants such as vitamin C restore radiance and help prevent new pigment.
- Correct: tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin and niacinamide target existing dark spots through multiple pathways.
- Renew: retinol and gentle acids speed up cell turnover so pigmented cells are shed faster.
- Protect: daily SPF50, every single morning.
For melasma or sudden changes in pigmentation, please also consult your dermatologist or doctor.
YOUR DAILY PIGMENTATION ROUTINE
Five steps in the morning. Four steps at night. One goal: a brighter, more even complexion.
MORNING ROUTINE — brighten and protect
- Cleanse — CRUSH Vita C Antioxidant Cleanser: vitamin C, manuka honey and niacinamide cleanse while brightening and evening skin tone.
- Brighten — SERVE C-Complex Antioxidant Booster: vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) with 17 antioxidants, including glutathione, niacinamide and ferulic acid, to brighten dullness and defend against pigment-triggering free radicals.
- Hydrate — RAVISH Antioxidant Collagen Therapy: vitamin C, manuka honey, stem cells and hyaluronic acid hydrate and reduce the appearance of dark spots.
- Eyes — SIN Diamond-Infused Caviar Eye Cream: caviar, polynucleotides and NAD+ brighten dark circles and smooth the eye area.
- Protect — SHADE Bioshield Cellular Defense SPF50: mineral zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with antioxidants — the single most important step.
EVENING ROUTINE — correct and renew
- Cleanse — CRUSH Vita C Antioxidant Cleanser: removes SPF, make-up and pollution.
- Correct — REVEAL Nocturnal Multi-Pathway Pigment Corrector: tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin, glutathione, niacinamide and PDRN target dark spots, melasma-prone areas and post-acne marks overnight.
- Renew — TEASE Night Repair Cream: retinol, glycolic and lactic acid gently exfoliate pigmented cells, while hyaluronic acid hydrates.
- Eyes — SIREN Midnight Renewal Eye Cream: retinol, caviar and NAD+ brighten and renew the delicate eye area overnight.
