Benefits

  • Brightness & even tone

    Two complementary forms of Vitamin C - AA2G™ stabilised Vitamin C and Superox-C™ Kakadu plum extract - work together to revive dull, tired skin and visibly fade dark spots from acne scars, UV damage and hormonal changes. Skin looks brighter, more even and naturally radiant.

  • Smoothness & fine lines

    By supporting your skin's natural collagen production, BrightenUp softens the appearance of fine lines, refines surface texture and leaves skin visibly smoother and firmer.

  • Antioxidant protection

    Vitamin C and antioxidant-rich Kakadu plum help shield skin from pollution, UV damage and other environmental stressors - the everyday aggressors that contribute to dullness, dark spots and premature ageing.

INGREDIENTS

Two types of vitamin C are combined with our favourite hydrating ingredients for brighter, happier skin.

  • 2% AA2G™ stabilised Vitamin C

    A glucose-stabilised form of Vitamin C that's gentle and non-irritating - even on sensitive skin. Clinically shown to brighten skin, fade dark spots, reduce wrinkles and support natural collagen production.

  • Superox-C™

    Sourced from Kakadu plum, the world's richest natural source of Vitamin C. A clinically studied antioxidant that helps defend skin against pollution and environmental damage while visibly brightening and evening skin tone.

  • Hyaluronic acid

    A low molecular weight hyaluronic acid that penetrates deeply to deliver in-depth hydration, leaving skin smooth, plump and visibly firmer.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's changed in the new BrightenUp formula?

    Same hero ingredients - 2% AA2G™ and Superox-C™ Kakadu plum - now in a cleaner formula without EDTA or Polysorbate 80, and in new travel-friendly packaging.

  • Is BrightenUp suitable for sensitive skin?

    Yes. AA2G™ is a gentle, non-stinging form of Vitamin C, and 95% of users in our clinical trial experienced no adverse reactions. BrightenUp is dermatologist tested and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive.

  • When should I use BrightenUp - morning or night?

    Mornings are ideal so antioxidants can defend skin against pollution throughout the day. Always finish with SPF, like FullStop.

  • Can I use BrightenUp with retinoids or other actives?

    Yes, but you need to stagger the timing. Use BrightenUp in the morning, and other actives - including retinoids like Renewing Booster - at night.

  • Will BrightenUp help with dark spots and acne scarring?

    Yes. AA2G™ has been clinically shown to visibly lighten dark spots in as little as 4 weeks.

  • How long will it take to see results?

    Many users see brighter skin and a more even tone within 4 weeks. With continued use over 8 - 12 weeks, you'll see further improvement to dark spots and skin texture.

  • Will it pill under moisturiser, SPF or makeup?

    No - BrightenUp absorbs quickly and layers smoothly without tackiness or pilling.

This sleep hot chocolate is the real deal - it's delicious, low in calories and I'm literally falling asleep as I'm drinking it. The best on the Australian market.
