Details & care
What it is: A potent dark-spot serum for hyperpigmentation that helps visibly improve dark spots and uneven skin tone.
Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types and tones.
What it does: Clinique's 'damage eraser' face serum with CL302 Brightening Complex™ delivers dramatic brightening results. It’s gentle enough for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The dark spot serum features the brand's proprietary brightening molecule and vitamin C for a more even-looking skin tone, including acne pigmentation marks. Plus it improves the look of hyperpigmentation, such as existing dark spots and interrupts the look of future dark spots, too. In just 2.5 hours the serum helps quell redness from irritation that can trigger new visible spots and worsen existing spots.* It penetrates up to 21 layers deep into skin’s surface.**
*After pre-treatment period; clinical testing on 26 people, measured for 150 minutes, versus untreated control.
**Ex vivo testing after 4 hours.
Key ingredients:
- CL302 Brightening Complex™ with vitamin C: targets dark spots on your face in two ways: helps visibly improve with the CL302 Complex and interrupts future ones with the Interrupter Complex
- Vitamin C (ascorbyl glucoside): potent brightening antioxidant helps to visibly reduce dark spots and even skin tone
- Salicylic acid: Gently sloughs off the uppermost layers of the skin to help reveal fresher, more even skin
- Glucosamine: Helps weaken the bonds that hold dead skin cells together to encourage the exfoliation of surface discoloration for brighter, more even-looking skin
- Yeast extract: Clinique’s 'cluster buster' helps break up (exfoliate) large clusters of excess pigment (dark spots) so they’re less visible
- Gyokuro (camellia sinensis leaf) extract: a green tea harvested with a special method in Japan that helps quell the look of irritation
- Rice bran extract: a potent antioxidant and anti-irritant, it helps to prevent the look of future dark spots by defending skin against damaging free radicals
