Brightening exfoliating cream cleanser for uneven skin tone and dark spots

Description

NeoStrata Enlighten Ultra Brightening Cleanser is a creamy, pearlescent, soap-free facial cleanser formulated to gently exfoliate, brighten and prepare skin with uneven tone and hyperpigmentation. Used as the first step in the NeoStrata Enlighten regimen, it removes oil, impurities and makeup while supporting skin renewal. The formula features patented NeoGlucosamine (a non-acid amino sugar exfoliant) to help stimulate cell turnover and reduce the appearance of dark spots and mottled, dull surface cells, together with a blend of Alpine plant extracts (including mallow, peppermint, lemon balm and cowslip) to clarify and brighten the complexion. Suitable for all skin types, it leaves skin feeling clean, refreshed and more radiant, and optimises skin for subsequent Enlighten treatments such as Illuminating Serum and Pigment Controller.
