    Instant Brightness

    I've tried so many toners and were convinced that they did not actually do anything. This toner had a noticeable impact on my skin in just a few uses. My skin is brighter, incredibly more even in tone/texture, and has helped clear up some stubborn blackheads. One recommendation I have is that the packaging should callout not to use this product with other chemical exfoliants or retinols/tretinoin - as that can be incredibly damaging to the skin.

    Bright and clear skin

    The exfoliating toner is very gentle yet effective, leaving my skin feeling clean, renewed and healthier. I notice that with consistent use my skin tone is brighter and more even, and my skin is clearer with less breakouts. I also like the product bottle design because it is convenient and dispenses the same amount with each pump. One thing to be mindful about is that sunscreen is a must when using this toner because it contains AHA.

    Love the Glow, Not the Scent

    I've been using the BRIGHTMEUP Skin Perfecting Toner for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed with the results. The formula is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling fresh and balanced without any sticky residue. I've noticed that my complexion looks smoother and more even-toned, and it preps my skin perfectly for the rest of my routine. The only downside for me is the scent because it's a bit stronger than I'd prefer. While it doesn't linger for too long, I personally would have liked a milder or more neutral fragrance. That said, the performance definitely makes up for it. If you're looking for a toner that delivers visible results and helps refine your skin's texture, this one is absolutely worth trying!

    Hydrated Bright Skin

    I recieved this product in exchange for my honest review. This toner is wonderful. Within the first use my skin was immediately hydrated and looked glowy. After a week of use I could tell my dark spots had lightened up a bit and my pores are starting to appear softer. This keeps my skin very hydrated and is gentle enough for daily use. This will definitely be a repurchase for me.

    Smooth skin, but slightly off-putting scent

    love this toner! I have tried a few other AHA/BHA toners, but this one seems to really leave my skin exfoliated and smooth and reduces blackheads for me. I like to especially use it before applying any face makeup products because it makes a really smooth base for my foundation and allows it to not look patchy. I used this for a week straight and could tell the difference in my skin being clearer and more ""bright"". the flat pump also makes it easy to dispense directly on a cotton pad without any mess. I have also used it on other areas of my body, like legs after shaving to prevent ingrowns/strawberry skin, and the back of my arms for my KP. My only gripe about it is that the scent is very strong. Not that it has a lot of fragrance, but it almost has an alcohol scent, so when I use it on my face, it's all I can smell and is pretty off-putting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s different about this toner than what’s on the market now?
Most toners strip the skin barrier in order to clear clogged pores, but this one brightens, hydrates, and actually boosts your skin barrier. BRIGHTMEUP® uses powerful ingredients like red willow bark and an Azelaic Acid derivative to help balance oil and reduce the appearance of pores without the drying downsides of typical toners.
How does BRIGHTMEUP fit into a skincare routine?
BRIGHTMEUP® is a potent toner that is meant to effectively reduce the appearance of excess oil and pores, while brightening and hydrating the skin! It should be applied to freshly cleansed skin as the first step in your skincare routine, both morning and night, after working up a tolerance to the product. To start, use every evening. When you’ve worked up tolerance, you can use in your morning routine as well. This product can make skin more sun sensitive so ALWAYS follow up with a sunscreen of SPF 30 or above.
Is there a recommended frequency for using BRIGHTMEUP?
Begin by using nightly or every other night, ensuring skin can tolerate its powerful exfoliation properties. Slowly work up to every night or twice a day, if preferred. Results may vary depending on frequency of use and the skin’s tolerance to the powerful BHA. Be sure to use sunscreen every day for maximum results!
Is the fragrance in this product synthetic?
No, there are no synthetic fragrances in this product. The fragrance is naturally derived from a mixture of essential oils and hydrating natural aromatic extracts that benefit the skin.
Can I combine this with CLEARITY®, CELLRENEW®, or BOUNCEBACK?
Yes! Combining with our other products will only help you achieve better results, but it’s important to carefully build your routine if you decide to use BRIGHTMEUP® in the same routine as CLEARITY® since they both contain exfoliating ingredients. If you’re already using CLEARITY® every night, it is recommended to start BRIGHTMEMUP® in the mornings to avoid over exfoliation. If your skin can tolerate, you can work up to using BRIGHTMEUP® both morning and night as directed. We highly recommend using CELLRENEW® alongside BRIGHTMEUP® because it will help your skin even better tolerate the active brightening agents in the product.
What is the concentration of alcohol? Will this dry out my skin?
The denatured alcohol in this formula is there to help the 2% BHA Salicylic Acid can effectively do its job of clearing pores and exfoliating skin. Even though this formula contains alcohol, it is clinically tested to ensure it keeps skin hydrated and is gentle on the skin’s moisture barrier! We have also included many hydrating agents to make this especially friendly for sensitive skin.
What does potassium azeloyl diglycinate do?
Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate combines Azelaic Acid, popularly known for helping with skin imperfections, with glycine, an amino acid that helps improve skin hydration and barrier function.
Will this product help with my sun spots/ melasma/ acne scarring/ dark spots/ hyperpigmentation?
In clinical testing, users saw a significant improvement from baseline in the appearance of their dark spots within 28 days!
Can I use this toner with retinol or other exfoliants in my routine?
We recommend doing a patch test on the skin to ensure no irritation or reaction, however it is not recommended to use this with retinol due to potential risk of irritation. If using alongside other exfoliants, it’s recommended to work up your skin’s tolerance and not use more than what your skin can take.
Will this help reduce oil production throughout the day?
Yes! The Salicylic Acid in the formula especially helps with this.
