Why Dr. Howarth recommends it
The pigment step for patients who cannot, or would rather not, use hydroquinone, and the maintenance serum after brightening peels and non-ablative laser. ALASTIN designed it to complement those treatments and labels it for daily, non-irritating use.
  • Helps minimize the look of dark spots and discoloration
  • Helps limit the recurrence of surface pigmentation
  • Improves the appearance of redness with hyperpigmentation
  • Hydroquinone- and retinol-free for daily use

In the morning and evening after cleansing, apply 1–2 pumps to the face; it may also be used on the neck and décolleté and alongside retinol. In the morning, follow with sunscreen. Avoid getting in the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
