iS Clinical Brightening Complex
iS Clinical Brightening Complex takes a holistic, science-backed approach to enhancing skin brightness and overall health. This powerful daytime formula utilizes pharmaceutical-grade botanicals, stabilized vitamin C, and advanced DNA-repairing enzymes (Extremozymes) to visibly diminish dark spots, even out skin tone, and promote long-term skin resilience.
Designed to work synergistically with iS Clinical Brightening Serum, this duo creates a complete AM/PM regimen for tackling hyperpigmentation, rough texture, and dullness. Use the Brightening Complex in the morning to protect, hydrate, and prepare the skin, then follow with the Brightening Serum at night for gentle exfoliation and deeper pigment correction.

I wanted to love this serum as I could see some brightening effects taking place and was looking for something a bit more hydrating. However, within a week I noticed I was getting clogged pores and acne around my mouth and chin. I should have checked the ingredients more thoroughly as Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract is a pore clogging ingredient.
