Helen’s note
Have patience with any serums or treatments for pigmentation. Consistency is key to see if it truly works – several weeks of it, at a minimum. Ideally after kick-starting with IPL.

Enlighten Brightening Serum for Discolouration
£101 30ml
Pigmentation can be one of the hardest conditions to treat, as it exists through many layers of our skin, so we look for serums that work on more than one level. The new Enlighten is built around tranexamic acid, with niacinamide to support the barrier and calm redness, liquorice root to even tone, and plankton extract and yeast for clarity and glow. Light and free from essential oils, it’s ideal before laser, IPL and peels. Pair it with daily SPF.
