"I like Brighten 10 by Vivatia because it actually works. Hyperpigmentation and discoloration is one of the most common complaints I hear from patients and there are a lot of lightening creams that frankly don't work."
"This product works well and relatively quickly. I tell patients they should start seeing an improvement within four weeks. It helps improve brown discoloration and melasma. Brighten 10 does contain hydroquinone which is not safe to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, so this is not safe in those women." — Dr. Skylar Souyoul, MD at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology in New Orleans, LA
"I love that this exfoliating peel pad contains a combination of three key hydroxy acids including lactic acid, salicylic acid and glycolic acid in combination with AlphaRet, a proprietary retinoid. It is easy to use and is a great option for those looking for an exfoliant to help brighten the skin and improve skin tone. Through the combination of ingredients, it works on many different skin care concerns as it helps to unclog pores by getting rid of dead skin cells, improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps to even out blemishes. Overall, it is a great product to get glowing skin, as even with using it just a few times per week, it leaves the skin looking radiant while not being too irritating on the skin." — Dr. Marisa Garshick, MD FAAD at MDCS: Medical Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Centers and clinical assistant professor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medicine
"For years in advising patients on anti-aging strategies, I have struggled with balancing the dryness and exfoliation that many products cause with finding a hydrating solution for the skin. This lightweight serum effectively hydrates the skin to improve its overall tone and look. It counters the dry flaky skin that can come from many anti-aging ingredients effectively and gives the skin a supple look and a glow." — Dr. Erum Ilyas, MD, MBD, FAAD, CEO and founder of Montgomery Dermatology
"Isdin Eryfotona Actinica has consistently been popular with my patients as a reliable and elegant mineral sunscreen. When Isdin launched Eryfotona Ageless, I literally had patients waiting to get their hands on the universally tinted and even more elegant 100-percent mineral-based SPF."
"Just like Eryfotona Actinica, Eryfotona Ageless has DNA repair enzymes called Repairsomes targeting UV-induced sun damage as well as antioxidants and peptides to protect against infrared, heat, and pollution induced free radical formation by stimulating the body's synthesis of coenzyme Q10. As a board-certified dermatologist who treats many patients with acne and rosacea, this sunscreen does not clog pores but still delivers an elegant coverage to all skin types." — Dr. Melissa K. Levin, MD, the founder of Entiere Dermatology
"Sente Dermal Repair Cream contains a heparan sulfate analog which is a unique ingredient that has been shown to increase the appearance of the skin. It is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and fragrance-free. Most products with active ingredients can cause dryness and irritation, but Sente Dermal Repair cream is tolerated very well by my patients without these side effects. It can be used in combination with other products and can also be used after medical procedures such as lasers and peels." — Dr. Jeanette M. Black, M.D. from Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills
