Uneven skin tone, dark spots, and dullness can detract from a healthy, vibrant appearance. The Ultraceuticals Ultra Brightening collection offers a complete, synergistic system designed to address these concerns, revealing a more radiant and even complexion. These products, working together, are formulated to improve skin luminosity and promote a visibly brighter skin. This range is suitable for many skin types.
What Does Brightening Cream Do?
While a brightening cream, specifically a moisturiser, is a key component, achieving a truly brighter complexion requires a multi-faceted approach. Brightening products, in general, work by:
Addressing Discolouration: Targeting the appearance of hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. These concerns can stem from sun exposure, hormonal changes, or past skin irritation.
Enhancing Radiance: Promoting a more even skin tone helps restore a healthy glow and combat dullness.
Providing Hydration: Adequate hydration is essential for healthy, _radiant_ skin. Many brightening products, especially moisturisers, deliver essential moisture to keep the skinhydrated and supple.
Protecting Against Free Radicals: Antioxidants, like Vitamin C, are often included to protect the skin from free radical damage, a major contributor to premature ageing and uneven tone.
The combined effect is a brighter, more luminous, and more even-toned complexion. SPF is vital to maximise the benefits.
Which Face Cream is Good for Brightening?
When selecting a brightening face cream (usually a moisturiser), look for ingredients that address pigmentation and dullness, and ensure the formula is suitable for your skin type.
Ultra Brightening Moisturiser Cream is an excellent choice, providing both brightening benefits and essential hydration. It contains Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate), and other key ingredients to promote a more even skin tone. It is a powerful moisturiser that will have you seeing improvements to your skin.
However, a cream alone isn't enough. A brightening moisturiser is just one part of a complete brightening routine.

The most effective skincare for brightening involves a synergistic approach, using multiple products that work together. The Ultraceuticals Ultra Brightening collection provides this complete system:

This step is non-negotiable in any brightening routine.
