Description

NeoStrata® Ultra Brightening Cleanser is a creamy foaming cleanser formulated to gently remove make-up, oil, and impurities while stimulating cellular renewal. This aids the efficient penetration of other products in the Enlighten range which helps to reduce superficial dark marks. Suitable for all skin types with dark marks including sensitive skin.

Key ingredients include patented NeoGlucosamine®, a non-acid amino sugar that gently exfoliates and increases the natural cell turnover, helping to reduce superficial dark marks on the surface of the skin. It helps to improve dullness and an uneven texture and skin tone. Soap-free. Fragrance-free. Pearlesque formulation. Light botanical scent.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: NeoStrata® Ultra Brightening Cleanser is the first step in the enlighten treatment program and little goes a long way. It contains targeted ingredients that ultimately help support the products that follow. It removes makeup and leaves the skin feeling comfortable and supported with a refreshing, spa-like cleansing experience. Always use a high factor, broad-spectrum sunscreen every day to avoid further pigmentation. This is a good everyday maintenance range for those who are looking to both prevent and treat superficial hyperpigmentation. A convenient 100ml size makes it suitable for carry-on air travel.

Summary

    A truly fantastic cleanser. My skin is looking fantastic: much more luminous with brown marks looking much lighter. I personally am not a fan of the scent but it’s a tiny thing when I consider how much of a difference this has made. A total game changer!

    I have only used it once so I can’t speak of long term usage. The smell is amazing. A little goes a long way which is great. Compared to other entry level cleaners for dark marks this works much better. Will give it a second try.

    This is a cleanser I purchased after having used another one exclusively for 10 years! And I’m so incredibly impressed. My skin definitely looks brighter. It’s a gentle yet effective cleanser that does not leave my skin feeling stripped at all. A new staple in my routine.

    Fantastic cleanser! Great creamy texture. A small quantity is needed therefore the tube lasts a few months. It removes makeup efficiently however I would suggest using a makeup remover prior to cleansing to ensure adequate penetration of the active ingredients to the skin.

    I loved this cleanser in combination with the other Enlighten products. The cleanser removes make up well and the product even lasted quite long!

    Been using the Cleanser, with the moisturiser and pigment controller for the past 2 months and my skin has never looked and felt the way it does. Smooth texture and a clean feeling. I pair this regime with Obagi C Serum and a sunscreen and its the best combination ever.

    Bought the neostrata enlighten starter kit which included the cleanser, i normally dont feel expensive cleansers do much more than cheaper alternatives, but this one broke that assumption. Smells amazing and I actually feel my skin being clean and refreshed! Feels like a mini facial everytime 🙂
