BRIGHTEN

The Glow Market Skin Score

• Acne-Friendly: Strong Match — Lightweight, fragrance-free formula with niacinamide, potassium azeloyl diglycinate and squalane; overall congestion risk looks low.
• Anti-Aging: Strong Match — Niacinamide and tranexamic acid are positioned high in the formula to support improved tone, texture and visible signs of photoaging.
• Hydration: Moderate Match — Glycerin, propanediol, squalane and aloe provide solid daily hydration without making this a deeply moisturizing formula.
• Brightening: Hero Match — Niacinamide + tranexamic acid + potassium azeloyl diglycinate create a particularly strong combination for uneven tone, discoloration and post-blemish marks.
• Sensitive Skin: Strong Match — Fragrance-free and relatively streamlined, with soothing/hydrating ingredients and no obvious high-level irritant profile.
• Skin Barrier Support: Strong Match — Niacinamide, squalane and emollients help reinforce moisture retention and support a healthier-feeling barrier.

Who It’s Best For: Especially well suited to someone wanting a lightweight treatment for dark spots, post-acne marks, uneven tone and overall radiance while still getting gentle hydration and barrier support.

WHAT SETS IT APART

A brightening serum that goes beyond glow. Brighten targets dark spots, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone and post-acne discoloration while supporting a healthy skin barrier.

Powered by 5% niacinamide, 5% tranexamic acid and 1.5% azelaic acid, this targeted brightening formula helps visibly fade discoloration, improve uneven tone, refine skin texture and calm the look of redness—all in one simple step.

The result? Brighter, smoother, more even-looking skin and the kind of natural radiance that comes from healthy skin.

HOW TO USE

Apply 2–3 drops to clean, dry skin morning and night. Follow with Barely There or your favorite moisturizer. In the morning, finish with a broad-spectrum SPF to help protect skin and prevent future discoloration.

Dr. Sam’s Tip: Consistency is key when treating dark spots and uneven skin tone. Use Brighten daily and pair it with SPF every morning for best results. Its lightweight texture also layers beautifully under makeup.
