Consumers are staying merry and bright well in to the new year, thanks to Clinique’s new advanced “Even Better Clinical” formula.

Clinique’s fourth generation brightening serum, “Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Clearing Serum” is a dermatologist-developed solution for hyperpigmentation.

The advanced formula, with its proprietary molecule UP302, balances more potent brightening actives with more soothing ones, per the brand. Safe for sensitive skin, tested on all skin tones and fragrance free, the new lightweight, oil-free formula targets tough dark spots; visibly reduces stubborn dark spots, including sun spots, age spots, and post-acne marks; and helps prevent future dark spots and helps visibly soothe skin from environmental irritants that can trigger future hyperpigmentation.

Advanced Brightening Formula

The advanced brightening formula is powered by UP302, Clinique’s proprietary brightening molecule, which was bioengineered to mimic the botanical and found to have powerful antioxidant and brightening benefits.

Vitamin C is made with two types of vitamin C—magnesium ascorbyl phosphate and ascorbyl glucoside—for precisely calibrated formulation. Together, these potent brightening antioxidants help visibly reduce dark spots, including post-acne marks and help skin tone look more even.

Pure niacinamide helps visibly reduce discoloration such as dark spots and post-acne marks.

Salicylic acid gently sloughs off the uppermost layers of the skin to help reveal fresher, more even-looking skin.

Glucosamine helps weaken the bonds that hold dead skin cells together to encourage the exfoliation of surface discoloration for brighter, more even-looking skin.

The formula is balanced by Glycyrrhetinic acid, derived from licorice extract, a potent anti-irritant to help calm skin by visibly reducing skin irritation that could trigger dark spots.

Gyokuro is hand-harvested in Japan in such a way that its natural anti-irritant properties are optimized for full potential. The green tea helps quell the look of irritation that could lead to discoloration.

Clinical Results

According to the brand, in deeper skin tones, up to 56% saw a visible reduction in post-acne mark intensity after 12 weeks and in lighter tones, up to 49% saw a visible reduction in sun and age spots.

Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Clearing Serum retails for $63.
