- Lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, works best for dealing with pigmentation issues.
- Kojic acid is best known for its skin lightening properties. It helps to visibly reduce spots, freckles, or other pigment irregularities
- Kojic works by blocking tyrosine, an amino acid responsible for producing melanin, and thus helps lighten and even out skin tone
- Bearberry extract contains Arbutin, a natural skin brightener that blocks the production of tyrosine, the amino acid responsible for producing melanin
- Arbutin is a natural remedy for hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. It has been shown to be less toxic than hydroquinone, another commonly used skin lightener
- Bearberry is a natural remedy for hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
- Licorice root extract helps to naturally inhibit melanin production and has been shown to help reduce the appearance of pigment irregularities such as age spots, sun damage, or freckles
- Mandelic acid has been shown to reduce acne, scarring, fine lines and wrinkles
- Mandelic acid is a good option for darker complexions as there is less chance of skin discoloration compared to other acids
- Ylang Ylang extract reduces oil production and helps achieve a balanced skin environment
- Ylang Ylangs antiseptic and antibacterial elements aid in wound healing and helps prevent infections
- Yarrow extract contains high amounts of flavonoids, vital antioxidants that protect against cell-damaging free radicals

I use all the face washes from Perfect Image. This helps with my discoloration, post acne marks and my oily skin.

For some reason this one makes me break out!
Perfect Image9 months agoHi JJ! We're sorry to hear that you experienced a break out with our Hydro Glo Brightening Cleanser. I want to let you know that it is normal to experience a breakout when using our cleansers as our cleansers go deeper into the pores to get rid of excess dirt, oil, and other impurities. Your skin may be going through a purging process that will cause initital breakouts when you first use the cleanser. However, after continued use, you should be able to see cleaner and clearer skin. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Tips & Information
Before applying, read complete directions.
Use 1-2 times per day for 5-7 days leading up to a chemical peel.
Discontinue 24-48 hours before the actual peel.
Store at room temperature 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F). Keep bottle tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Keep away from direct sunlight.
Application
Step 1
Dispense a dime-sized amount of the cleanser into your palm. Quickly apply the cleanser to your skin using your fingertips. Spend extra time working the product into your problem areas such as the forehead, nose and chin.
Step 2
Rinse the cleanser from your face using warm water. Be sure to remove all traces of the cleanser before drying. May also be used at 2-3 times per week to maintain new skin complexion.
May be used as a daily cleanser for those with less sensitive skin types.
For external use only
Not for ophthalmic or oral use. If you currently use any prescriptions or medications for your skin or face please notify your doctor before using. For any concerns about these precautions, please refer to a registered physician or skin care specialist.
Warnings
- Do not apply to other areas in which you have used hair removal products in the last 2 days.
- Avoid contact with eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse eyes with large amounts of cool tap water.
- Do not apply to sensitive skin areas or open wounds.
- The results for each person will vary depending on skin sensitivity, contact time, number of layers, and skin density.
- Applying the peel more than once per week will increase the risk of skin sensitivity.
- Do not tan 1 week prior and 2 weeks after treatment as this can potentially cause unwanted skin discoloration, excessive redness, or rash.
- You will experience a stinging or tingling sensation. If excessive stinging or discomfort occurs, neutralize the peel by flushing the skin with cool water.
- Redness may occur for a short period of time, especially for those with sensitive skin types. If redness persists longer than 20-30 minutes, decrease the contact time of the peel or discontinue use.
- Not every person will experience visible peeling, this does not mean the peel is not working. You will see improved marks in texture, tone, and overall appearance of the skin.
- Excessive facial irritation or redness occurs 48-72 hours after application
- Chest pain, faintness, or dizziness occurs
- You experience pain, swelling, or severe burns
- You experience an allergic reaction

- If swallowed, seek medical help or contact a Poison Control Center Immediately
- Avoid using self-tanners, masks, scrubs or exfoliating agents for at least 48 hours prior to the peel.

- Do not wax or shave facial hair for 2 days before the peel.
- Notify us or your regular doctor if you have a history of cold sores, fever blisters or herpes outbreak anywhere on the face prior to the application.
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 1 week prior to the peel and week after. We recommended not to tan at all because your skin will be more sensitive to light and tanning accelerates the aging process.
