Glytone Enhance Brightening Solution ($37)
Three top docs call this product their go-to:
“Formulated with a unique combination of organic acids, this lightweight, fragrance-free cream provides instant hydration while visibly improving the appearance of unwanted dark spots for a more even, radiant skin tone. Azelaic acid brightens the skin and glycolic acid exfoliates dead skin cells from the skin surface and increases the penetration of azelaic acid into the skin. This visibly improves the appearance of unwanted dark spots and leaves skin soft and hydrated. I also loves the combination of these two acids for a non-prescription-strength option to treat melasma.”
—Baton Rouge, LA dermatologist Ann C. Zedlitz, MD
“When my skin or my patients’ skin needs to kick into gear, we can manage it via glycolic acid! I love this Glytone product, and also the brand’s in-office peels that are available to dermatologists. I like to be able to control the way I use glycolic acid.” —Prospect, KY dermatologist Tami Buss Cassis, MD
“Glytone Enhancing Brightening Solution brightens skin and also minimizes acne and blemishes.” —Davie, FL dermatologist Marianna Blyumin-Karasik, MD
