Pimple scars, age and sun spots, an uneven complexion…we’ve all got something. It’s called hyperpigmentation and it’s a common, equal opportunist skin condition that doesn’t discriminate no matter what your age, ethnicity or skin type may be. Sounds slightly hopeless, doesn’t it? It’s not. Thanks to scientists in white lab coats, brightening facial products like NeoStrata, Secure White Brightening Cream SPF 30 are the solution.

Bigwig brands like Canada’s NeoStrata have created gentle, safe-to-use formulations with clinically proven results and a bevy of dermatologist-approved ingredients to help reduce hyperpigmentation and provide an even-toned complexion.

Trademark ingredients Actiwhite and Radianskin work to reduce the production of melanin in your skin, which increases with sun exposure, by preventing and correcting dark spots while lightening and brightening your face. Glycopeptide Pro-Coll-One smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and SPF 30 helps block the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. For those who want to go the extra mile, the line also includes a Brightening Serum to wear before you rub on your cream and an Anti Dark Circle Complex to be massaged across the under eye area.

NeoStrata’s Secure White Brightening Cream SPF 30 comes in 30 ml for $44. The Brightening Serum comes in 30 ml for $49 and the Anti Dark Circle Complex comes in 15 ml for $38. All are available at drugstores across Canada and at Well.ca.
