Brightener-XT

1. Morning and evening, all year round, on properly cleansed skin.
2. Warm a small amount and massage into face, neck, décolleté and the backs of the hands.
3. Layer the Ultra Brightening Elasto-Collagen-XT serum underneath if you use it.
4. Exfoliate once or twice a week so surface cells do not dull the result.
5. Finish every morning with sun protection. Without it, the work undoes itself.

How long before I see anything?

Cellcosmet ran the study over 56 days, twice daily, on 22 women aged 25 to 65 in an independent laboratory, and reported 13.8% higher radiance and 11.4% higher skin lightness. Two months of consistent use is a fair expectation. Nothing in this category works in a week.

Can I use it on sensitive skin?

Yes. Cellcosmet states the formula is dermatologically tested and that the 56-day testing covered tolerance including on sensitive skin. It contains no acids and no volatile alcohol, which is what usually causes trouble. It does contain fragrance, so patch test if that is a known issue.

Does it replace my regular cream?

It can. Used morning and evening it works as a complete face cream at cellular index 3. If you already use a Cellcosmet cream at a higher index, you can alternate, or keep this one for mornings and your usual cream at night.

Do I still need sunscreen?

Yes, and it matters more here than anywhere else. Uneven tone is largely driven by sun exposure. A brightening cream works on the appearance of what is already there, while daily sun protection stops new unevenness forming. Without the second half, you are running in place.
