What it is
Dermalogica presents Age Bright Clearing Serum as a two-in-one treatment for breakouts and visible signs of skin aging. The brand recommends it for all skin types and lists acne, blemishes and uneven skin tone as concerns.
Key ingredients
- Salicylic acid (2.0%): Dermalogica says this beta hydroxy acid helps reduce breakouts and exfoliates to help prevent them.
- Niacinamide and white shiitake mushroom: The brand says these work together to promote a brighter, more even-looking skin tone.
- Resurrection Plant phytoactives: Dermalogica says these hydrate and smooth skin.
How to use
Apply a thin layer over the face and let it dry. Use it twice daily as needed, beneath a Dermalogica moisturizer.
Who should be careful
This formula contains 2% salicylic acid and several aromatic plant oils, including citrus, rosemary and lavender oils. People who avoid exfoliating acids or are sensitive to these oils may wish to review the ingredient list. This is general information, not medical advice.
