Q: What is best product for dark spots on my hands and face
submitted by Grammy - 2 months ago
A: Hello Grammy! Thank you so much for reaching out about our Bright Reveal Dark Spot Exfoliant Peel, and helping you target uneven skin tone is a pleasure. To effectively minimize the appearance of stubborn dark spots on both your face and hands, integrating a chemical exfoliant peel containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) is highly recommended, as it gently dissolves the dead skin cells on the surface to reveal a brighter, more even-toned layer underneath. To protect your freshly exfoliated skin and prevent new spots from forming, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher every morning is the absolute most critical step for maintaining long-term skin clarity.

Q: Do we have to use it after cleanser ? On a complete dry skin? Or before cleanser?
submitted by Ruby - 5 months ago
A: Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our L'Oreal Paris Bright Reveal Dark Spot Exfoliant Peel. For the best results and to ensure skin safety, our Bright Reveal Dark Spot Exfoliant Peel should be used as follows:
After Cleansing: Use your regular cleanser first to remove dirt and oil so the acids can penetrate effectively.
On Completely Dry Skin: Do not apply to damp skin. Pat your face thoroughly dry before application to prevent the formula from penetrating too deeply or causing irritation.
The Process: Apply a thin layer (avoiding eyes and lips), leave it on for 15 minutes, and then rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Because this contains a potent blend of AHAs and BHAs, always follow up with a moisturizer and ensure you wear SPF the following morning, as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun.

Q: Does this work on melasma or post acne spots?
submitted by Tried all but this - 6 months ago
A: Hello there! Thank you so much for your question regarding our Bright Reveal Dark Spot Exfoliant Peel. We truly appreciate you reaching out to learn more about how this powerful exfoliating treatment can help you achieve a more even and radiant complexion. This formula is specifically designed to help visibly improve the appearance of various types of persistent dark spots, including post-acne marks and those caused by sun exposure or hormonal changes. A helpful tip to ensure the best results and protect your newly exfoliated skin is to follow your peel with a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher every single morning, as freshly renewed skin can be more sensitive to UV rays which can trigger more discoloration. We value your interest in our targeted skincare and are happy to help you find the best way to integrate this treatment into your routine.

submitted by Biscuitsandbulgogi - 10 months ago
A: Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our L'Oreal Paris Bright Reveal Dark Spot Exfoliant Peel. When combining Retin-A with our L'Oréal Paris Bright Reveal Dark Spot Exfoliant Peel, it's crucial to be very cautious due to potential irritation. We strongly recommend avoiding using them on the same day. Instead, alternate nights (e.g., Retin-A one night, peel on another, with at least 24-48 hours between). Always listen to your skin, prioritize daily SPF, and for personalized advice, please consult your dermatologist.

Skin looks so much better after just 4 uses!
My skin looks so much better after using this product just 4 times! Life long acne due to PCOS that finally calmed down with menopause and then came roaring back with stress. Also experiencing sebascious hyperplasia for which a chemical peel was recommended. Per the box in 1 week you have the results of a superficial peel and I would agree. But no redness or irritation, just better skin. Would definitely recommend.

Great exfoliating wash
I’ve only used this once so far, but I think it’s going to live up to it’s promise! Skin felt smooth and amazing afterwards. Mild scent, but powerful ingredients. Make sure to use sunscreen the next few days afterwards like it states.

Amazing
I was been experimenting with peels when I found this recommended by Doctorly on YouTube. Was a little skeptical bc I thought I’d need something fancier than a drugstore brand but this has become my favorite. It doesn’t burn and after I wash it off my skin is so soft and smooth. It’s a small bottle, but you don’t use much. Definitely recommend.

Shockingly effective
I've been using this product every other day, and today was my 4th application. My skin was dramatically softer and smoother after the first application. I regret that I did not start using it sooner. The smell some reviewers mentioned does not bother me at all. I had no tingly sensation on the first 3 applications, but I had a mild one that lasted maybe 30 seconds today. I do not have a noticeable change on my sun spots yet, but my acne scars are less noticeable. I'm hoping that my sun spots will be less noticeable as well when I finish this bottle.

Loving it!
I’m so excited about this peel! I’ve used it twice (4 days apart), and I already notice improvements. I’ve tried a lot of products and this is the most impressed I’ve been in a long while. I find it to be gentler than The Ordinary bha peel. I used it for 8 minutes the first time and 10 minutes the second time. Directions say 15, but I have sensitive skin. I have a small patch of rosacea on each cheek and I just avoided putting it on those, as the ordinary peel did aggravate them. In the days following my first peel my skin felt soooo smooth. I had a couple acne scars that had been present for a few weeks, and they are markedly lighter. I am hopeful it will help reduce my sun spots, too. I feel smoother and glowier already!

Great Dupe for The Ordinary BHA Peel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great dupe for The Ordinary Chemical BHA Peel! The smell is a little strong and it's a beautiful teal color. It took me 3 1/2 weeks to see results, because I was using while I had sensitive/raw areas. But, if I would have healed my face then it would have given me a faster result. Make sure you have a high quality sunscreen to use after each use so you can see results. 8/10 recommend!!

Disappointed
Just finished my 15th treatment with Bright Reveal. I can honestly say I notice nothing different in the way my skin looks. No change in dark spots, pores, glow, etc. Disappointing. But I do use premium facial products so maybe my skin was already fairly decent....not sure. Also not sure about how long to use this product....am I supposed to finish the bottle or just do treatments for a couple weeks, then do treatments again at a later time. No real explanation.

Harsh on Sensitive Skin.
I got this three weeks ago and used it every four days. It feels like I rubbed Vicks or tiger balm on my face. It's so minty and I feel like there are unnecessary dyes and fragrances. I think the reason why your face is brightened after use is because it has glitter that makes your face and hands sparkly. When I rinse off the mask, all I see on my face is glitter. Glitter all over my face AND hands... I do not like that... I tried to like it and watched videos and noticed that most of them are sponsored or paid on comission which is a huge 🚩 Also, after rinsing off the mask, I have to pat a moisturizer on because any form of friction no matter how light makes it feel as if my skin is being ripped off. I dont think this is for people with sensitive skin. My pores are slightly smaller? But any other AHA/BHA product does the same. I regret this purchase and wish I never bought it.
