NeoStrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum
Versus NeoStrata Enlighten Ultra Brightening Cleanser

The NeoStrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum is a high-potency, multi-action concentrate designed to target the appearance of hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations, and the natural ageing process. This silky serum features a sophisticated blend of 12 active brighteners that work synergistically to break up existing dark spots and discourage the formation of new discoloration.

At the heart of the formula is patented NeoGlucosamine® (Acetyl Glucosamine), a non-acid amino sugar that gently exfoliates the skin's surface to fade the look of existing pigment. This is bolstered by Niacinamide, a powerhouse ingredient clinically recognized for its ability to improve skin barrier function and even out skin tone. Research published in EuropePMC highlights the efficacy of Niacinamide as a versatile cosmeceutical for improving skin clarity and managing inflammatory responses.

To further enhance luminosity, the serum incorporates Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a stable form of Vitamin C, alongside B-Resorcinol and Liquorice Extract. These antioxidants provide critical protection against environmental aggressors. Clinical reviews on EuropePMC suggest that the concomitant use of antioxidant-rich dermo-cosmetic serums can significantly optimize skin quality and recovery when used alongside professional aesthetic procedures. For those with oily or congested skin, this serum pairs perfectly with the NeoStrata Mandelic Clarifying Cleanser to maintain a refined, clear complexion.

The NeoStrata Enlighten Ultra Brightening Cleanser is a high-performance, creamy exfoliating wash designed as the vital first step in your daily brightening regimen. Formulated with a potent 4% concentration of Acetyl Glucosamine, this non-acid amino sugar technology gently resurfaces the skin, targeting the surface cells that cause a mottled and dull appearance. By promoting cellular turnover, it helps to prepare the skin for the maximum absorption of subsequent treatments like the NeoStrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum.

Clinical research emphasizes that a structured dermo-cosmetic routine is essential for maintaining radiant, healthy skin quality (EuropePMC). This cleanser features GigaWhite®, a unique synergy of 7 Alpine Plant Extracts—including Mallow, Peppermint, and Lemon Balm—known for their ability to clarify and even out skin tone. Additionally, the inclusion of Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a stable form of Vitamin C, provides antioxidant protection to revitalize the complexion. This soap-free formula effectively removes impurities and makeup, leaving the skin feeling refreshed, healthy, and perfectly primed for pigment-correcting actives.
