Skin Brightening vs. Skin Lightening


Skin Brightening vs. Skin Lightening

There are numerous formulas on the skin care market that address dark spots and other pigmentation concerns. You will notice words like “illuminating,” “toning,” “clarifying,” “brightening” and “correcting” appearing often on many Lightening & Brightening Products in magazine and online articles. So what exactly is the difference between skin brightening and lightening products?

Skin Brightening

Maintaining a bright, radiant complexion is something that most of us want to achieve, no matter our age. However, this goal can become challenging over time. As we grow older, skin cells begin to turn over at a slower rate. Cells are not shed fast enough, and they sit atop the skin’s surface to create a dull appearance. Skin grows drier, which may worsen the appearance of fine lines, and dark under-eye circles may become more noticeable.

Those products that brighten are designed to leave skin with a vibrant, “glow-from-within” look. The treatments work to brighten skin through exfoliators, light-diffusers, antioxidants or a combination of these key ingredients, and they are appropriate for skin in every life stage.

Try formulations that have a blend of amino fruit acids to help remove dulling debris and refine tone and texture. Vitamin C works to brighten skin, support collagen growth and protect against environmental stressors.

Skin Lightening

Skin lightening formulas help to promote an even skin tone and minimize the appearance of dark spots, sun damage and other types of hyperpigmentation. This makes them most appropriate for mature skin types or those who struggle with conditions like melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. As a bonus, you’ll likely enjoy an overall brighter, more radiant complexion from using these formulas. Dermatologists recommend formulations containing kojic acid, alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic acid and lactic acid, for example) and arbutin and in some cases hydroquinone to address dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Vitamin C serums are also wonderful all-in-one brightening and lightening solution, particularly if you have very minimal hyperpigmentation or are looking to prevent dark spots in the long-run.
