This 14-day brightening programme consists of 28 ampoules (use two a day), each containing activated vitamin C and a combo of three acids to slough off melanin-laden dead skin cells, refine skin texture and reduce the appearance of dark spots.
Lightweight in texture but rich in hydration, it inhibits melanin production and calms inflammation from acne. 5. Babor 3D Firming Fluid Ampoule Concentrates, $105

At the end of the 10-day course, you should see brighter, smoother and more radiant skin. 7. Kew Organics Divelyn Gently Micro Exfoliant, $61.60
