Neostrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum

Neostrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum is Neostrata's multi-action brightening serum for uneven tone and dark spots, built on the brand's signature NeoGlucosamine together with 4% niacinamide and licorice root. Silky and lightweight, it is the day-and-night brightening serum that layers under moisturiser and sunscreen to visibly fade the look of discolouration and promote a more luminous, even-looking complexion.

NeoGlucosamine, the non-acid amino sugar Neostrata is known for, gently exfoliates to promote the skin's natural turnover while fading the appearance of discolouration, uneven tone and age spots - with none of the sun sensitivity of a traditional acid. Niacinamide at 4% helps promote a brighter, more even tone, licorice root extract adds a brightening antioxidant, and B-Resorcinol, the brightening agent Neostrata uses across the Enlighten range, sits alongside a stabilised, oil-soluble form of vitamin C. In Neostrata's four-week study of the full Enlighten regimen, 97% agreed skin was brighter and more luminous, 97% said texture was smoother, 94% said tone was more even and 89% said discolourations were diminished. Neostrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum is the serum step of that regimen, used morning and evening.

Visible Results Users Love

Why This Beats a Standard Brightening Serum

• Non-acid exfoliation - Neostrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum renews with NeoGlucosamine rather than an AHA, so there is no added sun sensitivity
• 4% niacinamide, licorice root and B-Resorcinol brighten by different routes, not one
• Silky, fast-absorbing texture that disappears under moisturiser, SPF and make-up
• Made for morning and evening use, so the brightening work never stops
• Consumer-study results from an ethnically diverse panel rather than marketing adjectives

Best For

• Dark spots and age spots
• Uneven, dull-looking skin tone
• Post-blemish marks that linger
• Skin that finds acid-based brighteners too sensitising
• Anyone following the full Enlighten regimen

Choose Neostrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum if you want a gentle, twice-daily brightening serum that works alongside the Enlighten cleanser, SPF and Pigment Controller; if you would rather have pure vitamin C, Enlighten 15% Vitamin C + PHA Serum is the morning alternative.

Becci has spent more than two decades as a registered aesthetics nurse in specialist skincare and medical aesthetics, and uneven tone is the concern clients ask her about most. They come to her for honest advice rather than a sales pitch, and Neostrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum is one she recommends to anyone who wants steady brightening without acids - NeoGlucosamine and niacinamide are a pairing she trusts for skin that reacts to stronger exfoliants.
