Frequency: Use once daily

Timing: Apply in the morning for optimal brightening and antioxidant protection throughout the day

Layering: Allow to absorb fully before applying additional serums or moisturisers. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day, as this treatment increases cellular turnover.

Expert Tips: For enhanced results, our skincare specialists recommend using as part of the complete iS Clinical Hyperpigmentation regime, or pairing with iS Clinical Brightening Serum in the evening for a comprehensive AM/PM brightening protocol. A small amount goes a long way – use sparingly to avoid potential sensitivity. Speak to our experts for personalised application guidance tailored to your specific skin concerns.

FAQ

Q: How does iS Clinical Brightening Complex differ from other brightening treatments?
A: This pharmaceutical-grade formula uniquely targets all five mechanisms responsible for hyperpigmentation – oxidative stress, inflammation, melanin synthesis, melanin migration, and visible pigmentation – rather than addressing just one pathway. The hydroquinone-free formulation delivers professional-level results with a comprehensive approach backed by clinical studies, achieving a 37% reduction in melanin production within 72 hours. Our experts recommend this treatment for those seeking evidence-based brightening without harsh chemical ingredients.

Q: Can I use this treatment if I have sensitive skin?
A: Yes, this formula has been specifically designed to be gentle enough for sensitive skin whilst delivering powerful brightening results. The pharmaceutical-grade botanical ingredients provide effective exfoliation and brightening without the harsh effects of hydroquinone. However, you may experience a mild tingling sensation upon application, which is normal and typically subsides quickly. We recommend performing a patch test before first use and consulting our skincare specialists for personalised guidance if you have concerns about sensitivity.

Q: How long will it take to see visible results?
A: Clinical studies demonstrate measurable improvements in melanin production within 72 hours; however, visible brightening results typically become apparent after 2-4 weeks of consistent daily use. More significant improvements in hyperpigmentation, age spots, and overall skin tone evenness are generally observed after 8-12 weeks of regular application. Individual results may vary depending on the severity of pigmentation and skin type. For optimal results, our experts recommend using as part of a complete professional skincare regime with diligent sun protection.

Q: Should I use this product in the morning or evening?
A: The Brightening Complex is best applied in the morning to benefit from its antioxidant protection throughout the day. Many of our clients with normal to oily skin use it as their daytime moisturiser. For enhanced results, you may pair it with iS Clinical Brightening Serum in the evening for a comprehensive AM/PM brightening protocol. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day. Speak to our experts for personalised regime recommendations.

Q: Can I use other active ingredients alongside this treatment?
A: Yes, this formula can be incorporated into most professional skincare regimes. However, when using multiple exfoliating or brightening products, we recommend introducing them gradually to assess your skin's tolerance. Allow the Brightening Complex to absorb fully before layering additional serums or treatments. Our skincare specialists can provide personalised guidance on creating an effective regime that addresses your specific concerns whilst maintaining skin health and comfort.
