Pigment Inhibitors That Work

Pigment inhibitors are ingredients that help stop new dark spots from forming and prevent existing ones from getting darker. GlowTone combines these powerful ingredients in an acne-safe formula, making it ideal for anyone dealing with melasma, uneven tone, or post-acne pigmentation. Instead of just fading what’s already there, it helps prevent future spots — giving the skin a clearer, more even look over time.

Azelic Acid

Multifunctional acid known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and skin-brightening effects on acne and pigmentation.

Tranexamic Acid

Synthetic amino acid derivative used in skincare to reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone.

Alpha-Arbutin

Inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, making it a safe and effective option for reducing pigmentation.

Designed for Acne-Prone and Reactive Skin

Unlike traditional brightening treatments that can cause flare-ups, GlowTONE is acne-safe and designed to support the skin barrier. It’s a great option for those dealing with uneven pigmentation, rough patches, or dull skin while still actively managing breakouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does GlowTONE Corrective Serum do?

GlowTone helps fade dark spots, post-acne marks, melasma, and uneven skin tone. It’s acne-safe, making it a great choice for anyone struggling with pigmentation while managing breakouts.

Is it safe for sensitive or inflamed skin?

A: Yes. GlowTone is formulated with pigment inhibitors like azelaic acid, tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin, niacinamide, acetyl glucosamine, and vitamin C. These ingredients work together to brighten, fade dark spots, and even tone without the harshness of strong exfoliating acids, making it a gentle but effective choice for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

How does GlowTone compare to Face Reality’s Mandelic Serum?

Mandelic Serum brightens while also treating acne and providing gentle exfoliation. GlowTone focuses only on pigmentation left behind from acne or melasma, without exfoliating.

Can I use this with Acne Med or retinoids?

Yes, but start slowly. If you're already using Acne Med, alternate nights at first to see how your skin responds. Avoid using multiple exfoliants or actives in one session unless directed by a Face Reality professional.

When should I apply GlowTone in my AM routine?

Use GlowTone as your last serum step, after any other serums, and before moisturizer and SPF.
