Common questions
Can facials remove dark spots?
Clear + Brilliant, the Power Peel Series and the Fire and Ice Facial help spots look softer over a series of visits. Your esthetician can recommend the right plan in a consultation.
Why do my dark spots keep coming back?
Sun exposure makes spots look darker again, so daily broad-spectrum sunscreen helps keep results.
What ingredient fades dark spots fastest?
Vitamin C, niacinamide and azelaic acid are the most effective over-the-counter options. Prescription ingredients work faster but need a dermatologist.
Are marks from past breakouts permanent?
These marks often look lighter over a few months. Exfoliating facials can help skin look more even in the meantime.
