Your questions

About the formula and use

Can I use it with a retinol?

Yes. Many people use Brightalive in the morning and their retinol at night.

How long until spots look lighter?

Pigmentation fades gradually. Daily SPF makes the biggest difference to how fast you see results.

Is it right for me?

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, using prescription skincare, or unsure where this fits in your routine, ask us at checkout or book a complimentary consultation first.
