6 Ways to Brighten Your Skin
Skin-brightening products are selling like crazy all across the country. Find out why they're so popular -- and determine which one is right for you
Apply vitamin C for overall brightness
Vitamin C is one of the most popular ingredients in brightening products because it not only works to lighten the hyperpigmentation you already have, it also helps prevent further spots. "It's a great antioxidant," says Miami dermatologist Leslie Baumann, MD. "But it's very unstable, so you have to strategically pair it with other ingredients." The recently-launched Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution, $49.50, contains a new, more stable version of "activated" vitamin C coupled with white birch and peony extracts to maximize skin brightening. For a potent dose, try Lumene Vitamin C+ Radiant Beauty Drops, $21.99, with lingonberry seed oil.SEE NEXT PAGE: Opt for acids to exfoliate
