Danielle's Bright & Firm System
This complete, evidence-based regimen is designed to address hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and dryness. Each step works together to restore clarity, strengthen the barrier, and improve long-term skin health. The kit is available in two options so you can choose the routine that best suits your skin.
Calming Cleanse — A soap-free cleanser that removes impurities while maintaining the skin’s natural barrier.
C Forte (standard) or Hydraboost (sensitive variant)
-
C Forte – A 16% L-Ascorbic Acid serum that brightens, reduces pigmentation, and supports collagen production.
-
Hydraboost – A multi-weight hyaluronic acid serum that plumps, hydrates, and supports barrier repair.
Enlighten — A pigment-correcting serum with 4-n-butylresorcinol and niacinamide to fade dark spots and promote a more even skin tone.
Ultimate A Gold (0.1% retinal) or Ultimate A (0.06% retinal, sensitive variant)
-
Ultimate A Gold – Retinaldehyde 0.1% for powerful cell turnover, collagen stimulation, and reduction of fine lines.
*Ultimate A Gold (Retinal) may transfer onto white or light-coloured fabrics. For best results, we recommend using darker clothing or surfaces to avoid visible marks. -
Ultimate A – Retinaldehyde 0.06% offering similar anti-ageing benefits at a lower strength.
Smooth Serum (standard) or Gentle Glow (sensitive variant)
-
Smooth Serum – A night treatment with glycolic, lactic, and gluconolactone to refine texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance radiance.
-
Gentle Glow – A PHA-based serum that smooths, hydrates, and brightens while being suitable for more reactive skin.
Zinc Shade — A broad-spectrum physical sunscreen with zinc oxide to protect against UV damage and prevent further pigmentation.
Both variants improve uneven tone, fine lines, and dryness while strengthening the skin barrier. The Standard Kit provides higher-strength actives for faster results, while the Sensitive Kit offers a gentler, hydration-focused option without compromising on effectiveness.
Description
Brighten, firm and even your skin with this science-backed kit targeting pigmentation, ageing and dryness.
These evidence-based formulations work together to reduce pigmentation, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and deeply hydrate dry skin. Designed to support an even, youthful complexion, this complete system protects against further damage while restoring radiance and skin resilience.
Evidence
4-n-butylresorcinol
4-n-Butylresorcinol helps improve the appearance of pigmentation and supports an even-looking skin tone.
Retinal
Also known as Vitamin A, Retinal is a next-generation retinoid used in skincare to help refine skin texture and improve the appearance of uneven tone and visible signs of ageing. It’s well tolerated and suitable for most skin types, including those that find traditional retinoids too harsh.
Niacinamide
Also known as Vitamin B3. Niacinamide is a well-studied ingredient that helps maintain a healthy skin barrier and supports an even-looking skin tone. It is well tolerated and suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile addition to many skincare formulations.
L-Ascorbic Acid
Also known as Vitamin C, L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is a well-studied antioxidant that helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and supports smoother-looking skin.
Skin pH
Your skin's pH level sits at 4.9 and it's important to use skincare products with a similar pH. Products with higher pH levels can damage the skin resulting in dryness, itchiness and sensitivity. Subsequently, skin conditions such as Rosacea, Eczema and Acne can flare up.
Glycolic and Lactic Acid
Also known as Alpha Hydroxy Acids. Glycolic and Lactic Acid exfoliate and smooth the skin surfaces.
Emerging evidence
Ferulic Acid
Ferulic acid’s emerging evidence suggests it can improve the effectiveness of Vitamin C and help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Hyaluronic Acid
The optimum size of Hyaluronic Acid for skincare is still a topic of research. Emerging evidence suggests that medium-size HA can support skin hydration and help improve the appearance of skin smoothness and plumpness.
Panthenol
Panthenol (provitamin B5) is a humectant - meaning it helps attract and hold moisture in the skin. Once absorbed, it’s converted to pantothenic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the skin that supports hydration and helps maintain a healthy skin barrier. It’s well tolerated and commonly used in products designed for sensitive skin.
