AnteAGE MD Brightener - This won't be the only time you see an AnteAGE product in this list, and for good reason.

It includes hyaluronic acid for extra hydration and can be used as a daily moisturizer. 8. Revision Skincare C+ Correcting Complex - Vitamin C has long been known as a powerful antioxidant for the skin, but rather than just fighting existing free radicals, Revision's C+ Correcting Complex goes on the offensive and prevents free radical damage rather than just repairing it. The result is a strong anti-aging and pigmentation treatment that smooths fine lines, increases melanin production, and supports microbiome health. 7. Alastin Skincare HydraTint Pro Mineral Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 36 - HydraTint is a lightweight, all physical daily sun protection option that is rich in antioxidants, hydrates, and has a tint that works with most skin tones.

It's been EltaMD's #1 selling sunscreen for years, so give it a shot if you're looking for a new daily SPF. 1. Cyspera Intensive Pigment Corrector - A revolutionary product, the Cyspera Intensive Pigment Corrector is a clinically proven hyperpigmentation treatment that people all over the planet have fallen in love with. (It is also by far our best-selling item with international customers!) Now, if you haven't heard, Cyspera has been discontinued, but don't worry: we still have it in stock for the time being.

Cyspera and Cysteamine HSA: How are They Different?
If you love Cyspera Intensive Pigment Corrector as much as we do, you have probably heard that it's been discontinued, and may have wondered what to replace it with. The good news is that this best-selling hyperpigmentation treatment that is used & loved by people all over the world isn't going anywhere. What is Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector? Long term Cyspera loyalists will remember the early days when it was called Cysteamine. Now the original name is back, with an improved formulation! Cysteamine HSA Pigment & Tone Corrector has everything you know and love about the old Cyspera, plus a few bonuses, including Sente's revolutionary Heparan Sulfate Analog (HSA) technology. How is Cysteamine HSA Different from Cyspera? With Cysteamine HSA, you can expect to receive the same pigment correcting effects you're used to from Cyspera, but with a few changes we think you'll love: Price Cysteamine HSA is priced at $149, down from Cyspera's $169. Long-time users, start thinking about what you'll do with that extra $20! Size This is a tiny change, but Cyspera was sold by weight: 50g, which is equivalent to 1.75 oz. Cysteamine HSA is sold by volume: 50mL, or 1.7 oz, which means you get slightly less product even though it comes in the same tube. That may be a small piece of the new lower price tag. Reduced Waiting Time With Cyspera, you are supposed to wait one hour after washing your face to apply the product. With its new formulation, Cysteamine cuts that down by 66%, meaning you now only have a 20 minute pause between washing and application. Scent If you've used Cyspera, you are already familiar with the smell: something similar to hair dye or hair remover. Most people get used to it with repeated use, but for those of you who never did, Cysteamine comes with a great update: a milder smell! Cysteamine still smells similar, but it is definitely more subtle and maybe a little sweeter. Sensitivity Cyspera was built on a mineral oil base, which caused irritation for some users. Cysteamine has been reformulated to replace it with a gentler base that will be tolerable for even more people. Plus, the inclusion of Sente's proprietary HSA compound provides even more soothing repair for sensitive skin. Have you already tried Cysteamine HSA? Let us know in the comments what you think!
