Reviews

Loved the produc, but broken top

"I like both of these products. They make my skin super soft and have lightened some age spots on my forehead. I am super bummed that the peels lid is no good. I'm not sure of the amount of product that is supposed to be used because of it. The smell of the power bright serum is a little off putting, but it goes away after a minute."

Powerbright Dark Spot System

"The powerbright dark spot system is amazing! I have been using it less than 2 weeks and my large dark spot has diminished significantly."

— Christine L. (5/5)

Significant lightening of dark spots in only 5 weeks

"I have very fair skin and have used facial sunscreens faithfully. Despite this I have irregular brown spots on my 68-year-old face. After 5 weeks using 2 powerbright products , I have had significant lightening of the brown spots on my checks. Hoping they will be totally unnoticeable with continued application. Sorry forgot to take picture prior to use. Did not get these improvements with vit C products and desquamating products such as glycolic acid products. I would definitely recommend this product."

Works great

"Love it! Building the amount of time I left the peel on made things more comfortable in the beginning."

Truly Effective Dark Spot Treatment

"Truly the most-effective and fastest-acting, dark spot treatment on the market, IMO. I have conducted years of personal research and have tried multiple brands throughout the past several years. As a young “60-something”, (😉), I was beginning to think that nothing out there could really work. I was beyond thrilled to have such amazing (near-immediate), results. No other brand had even come close to such results in my experience. *After the first treatment (using the Dark Spot Peel followed by the Dark Spot Serum), I truly felt that there was already a noticeable difference! The shade of my dark spots had lightened, (if even slightly, I would have been thrilled!). But, my experience provided a noticeable decrease in the shade as-well-as an overall improvement in skin texture, (which I was not expecting, but so happy to have received!). I have been using Dermalogica products for over a year now and I am still pleased with the results. The products are admittedly not cheap! And, there are so many variations to choose from in this line, that one can feel overwhelmed trying to decide which items to purchase. (My staples have been narrowed down to the Peel and the Serum). But, if you are earnestly-seeking help for dark spots, I consider it worth the money/time investment. I sincerely hope that anyone who tries this product is as pleased with their results as I have been with mine."

"As someone who deals with hyperpigmantation and has dark spots this helped relive some darkness. I didn't see a huge difference but I did see some improvement. Idk if im willing to spend this much again for myself but can see this benefiting someone who doesnt need as much work as I do"

Q&A

Do I need to wash the dark spot peel by cleanser or just water?
Hi there, Remah! Please rinse off the Powerbright Dark Spot Peel with just water! Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Is it safe to use the powerbright stop system during summer? I live in a hot climate and go to the beach a lot
Hi there, Eli! It's fantastic that you're considering the Powerbright Dark Spot System for your skincare routine. Yes, you can use it even during the sunny summer months! While you're enjoying the beach, remember to shield your skin with a hat to minimize direct sunlight exposure. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
After applying dark spot serum in the morning, is it okay to apply vit c serum?
Hello Lark, Thank you for reaching out to Dermalogica. In general, we do not suggest layering more than one serum. Active ingredients work best when they have access to the skin, and some serum formulas create a barrier which may prevent a second serum from penetrating the skin. For maximum benefit, we recommend incorporating more than one into your routine by using one in the AM and one in the PM. Kind Regards, Willow Virtual Professional Skin Therapist
Does the powerbright work on melasma?
Hi there, Regina! Yes, the Powerbright Dark Spot Serum can work on melasma. Kind Regards, Beatriz.
Should you put the powerbright dark spot peel on the problem area only or all over face ?
Hello Cheryl, Thank you for your inquiry. To achieve optimal results, we recommend applying the Powerbright Dark Spot Peel to the entire facial area, except for the delicate eye area. This approach is highly beneficial as it targets hyperpigmentation even before it becomes fully apparent. For enhanced effectiveness, we advise incorporating this new peel into your skincare routine alongside our other Powerbright products. Kind Regards, Sandra
