Transparent lab has a wonderful and affordable PIH serum and a 5% urea face cream . Theramid has the best azelaic serum I have ever tried, they also have an excellent copper peptides serum
My favorite hyperpigmentation serum is Level from regimen lab! It has a ton of brightening ingredients in it, and it plays well with different products in my routines.
I'm currently using 2 serums, one is a Malaysian brand called SKINMADE, tranexamic acid + retinal serum, and the other one is an Indonesian brand called Glad2glow, their Pomegranate 10% Niacinamide Power Bright Serum. Both products really help fading my hyperpigmentation! I'm also using Skinfood Shine Muscat BHA 2% Toner to exfoliate. So far so good.
For achieving well aging goals and to help hyperpigmentation, I use the BOJ Eye Serum all over the face as my retinaldehyde serum, Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment for glycolic acid, and Jin Jung Sung Omega Vegan Vita Serum for Vitamin C. Love them all!
THERE WE GO WITH MY FAVORITE TOP ON YOU 😂😂😂❤❤❤and I’ve just started the cocokind chlorophyll brightening serum! So I hope it works! I use that at night and my numbuzin no5 serum+toner in the mornings.
@@KellyDriscoll I know it’s an oldie……but it’s so good 😊 The doorbell rang and I didn’t put your on pause…. And didn’t hear you mentioning Kojac……. I’m so sorry 🫣
Oh no worries, it's fantastic stuff! I remember my younger less sensitive skin days using Kojie San soap which is a very good but drying kojic acid product, worked wonders for an uneven tan on my body skin! It's a better-known ingredient in Asia but less so in the west, so I was super impressed to see a brand like Dr. Idriss use it!
@@KellyDriscoll it’s so funny…. Because in Denmark we have used Kojac acid products for years…😂 And the soap I used as a teen……omg I feel so old saying that….. the soap is iconic 😄 And you’re right…. They use Kojac acid way more in Asia
PIH lasts forever for me, the pigmentation lasts like months for me and I hate it, especially as I am asian and we are more prone to it. I use the Dr Vanita hyperpigmentation kit as that is the only thing that works for me. I have tried so many other products from korean beauty, melano CC and also faded topicals but they were never effective enough, maybe because Im skin of colour. Dr V makes products for skin of colour and hers seem to be so effective for me, as she uses a cocktail of tyrosinase inhibitors without irritation for coloured skin. Benzoyl peroxide and azelaic acid burnt my face and left rashes, I think I am allergic to those
I'm quite sensitive to vitamin C ,so i personally use 5%niacinamide + 2%alpha arbutin +10% azelaic acid( as i had mostly PIE scars). Its been 1 month i saw little change on my acne scars😁.It take time & its all about consistency & patience.
PIE is very difficult to treat topically because it's vascular and responds differently than PIH which is a melanin response. PIE takes much longer to heal!
hey Kelly! :) I remember when I watched your first impressions of Numbuzin 5 vtiamin serum and was waiting for the update ever since but you somehow never mention it in your videos. I wonder is it that you didnt see it as effective in terms of brightening? Since it is also based on very similar ingredients as haruharu wonder TXA serum. Or is there any other reason you didnt like it?
I think it's great and I tested it specifically for that video review! It doesn't fit my current skincare routine (this is the downside of having to always be testing new things for content), although I've used it to help with some PIH I had on my chest and it worked well!
Kelly you don't have 1 wrinkle one your skin, do you think genetics can slow down the aging process? Im 54 and i don't have wrinkles. I have been told i look 30, and i have never worn sunscreen. But i understand that it's good to use it.
Yes genetics will always play a factor in overall health and how our body ages, but there are always things we can to to optimize that process. I also think the face of aging is changing as many of us still think 50 = golden girls. Current generations as a whole are aging better due to a multitude of lifestyle factors that include but are not limited to skincare.
Kelly, please suggest should i go for isntree chestnut 0.9% bha or isntree 2% bha toner? Or look for toners like these:👇 ▪︎Tiam AC fightning AHA BHA PHA toner ▪︎Roundlab Pine Calming Cica Toner Previously i had used minimalist 2% salicylic acid serum. Although it work great on my acne but it keep damaging my barrier .So i switched to isntree AHA but it didn't work very well on my skin( face look more red next day). ( skintype: sensitive+ mostly dry only oily nose +active acne (26yr))
I can't speak on the other products since I haven't tried them but my vote is still for Isntree, maybe start with the lower % if you're concerned about your barrier.
Kelly, where did you learn about 4-5% niacinamide stimulating collagen? I’ve heard you mention this many times but I’ve never heard it anywhere else! Do you have a study you could link?
It's well studied, these are just a few quick ones: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8389214/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16029679/ www.jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(04)02915-9/fulltext

I just ordered that Trans lab serum. Does it work quickly or slowly? I have spots on my chin.
That trans lab serum is something I'm trying hope it works.
Im really loving the Numbuzin vitamin 5+ serum. Niacinamide, vitamin C, arbutin, glutathione, panthenol n many more...
That's such a goodie, I like the toner in that line too!

Great subject, thank you, Kelly. My favorite brightening product that I don't hear much about is the Maelove fade away brightening serum.
THERE WE GO WITH MY FAVORITE TOP ON YOU 😂😂😂❤❤❤and I’ve just started the cocokind chlorophyll brightening serum! So I hope it works! I use that at night and my numbuzin no5 serum+toner in the mornings.
Hahaha omg, everyone loves this top! Best sale purchase I made from Madewell!
Omg I’m so happy you said dr idriss I have the mask and serum only one month in, but I love how it feels on my skin. ❤
It's like a gentle baby peel, skin feels so smooth and looks bright!
You read my mind. Thanks a lot even before watching the video❤
Don’t forget Kojac acid….. amazing for hyperpigmentation 😊
I did mention it! It's in the Dr Idriss serum I discussed!
@@KellyDriscoll I know it’s an oldie……but it’s so good 😊

Are vitamin c derivatives as good as pure form for PIH? My skin can be very sensitive to Vit C.
Hi Kelly, could you recommend a good serum or toner that I can use before using my led mask - it can’t contain any oils.
Kelly you don't have 1 wrinkle one your skin, do you think genetics can slow down the aging process? Im 54 and i don't have wrinkles. I have been told i look 30, and i have never worn sunscreen. But i understand that it's good to use it.

Hi. Great video. Thanks.
Can you suggest a few exfoliating cleansers ? Either with AHA or BHA. or combo.
I just used a new one from Cetaphil that's nice, AHA, BHA and PHA!
@@KellyDriscoll Thank you !
I noticed a really really high pitch tone in your video, would be amazing if you could edit that out next time :))
Not sure what you're referring to, can you time stamp?
Hi Kelly .
Love from India ❤
❤❤❤
