Enter NEW HyperCorrect™ Intense Fading Cream, your Step 0 to get to those dark spots first. Free of hydroquinone, this innovative wash-off treatment is applied to dry, uncleansed skin (aka Step 0).

Highlighted Ingredients
CYSTEAMINE

What else you need to know
- Aesthetician Tip! Try using HyperCorrect™ in the evening before you cleanse your face. We call it “fighting dirty” (applying over the day’s dirt, grime and makeup is just fine). If no irritation occurs, you can introduce these ingredients back into your regimen along with Cysteamine, however at opposite times of the day. For example, if HyperCorrect™ is used at night, then use your other active treatment serums in the morning.
Who Should Use
- If you struggle with stubborn hyperpigmentation, melasma, post-acne scars, uneven skin tone or rough texture, this is for you!

Do I have to apply this before I cleanse my skin?
- Yes. Apply this treatment to your skin before cleansing or washing off your makeup. Alternatively, you can wait one hour after cleansing and apply to dry skin. Always rinse off with your favorite gentle cleanser and follow with a moisturizer, and if used in the daytime, apply an SPF 30 or higher.
Why is it recommended to apply this to my face before cleansing or washing off my makeup?
- Applying this formula with Cysteamine to freshly cleansed skin or damp/wet skin can increase skin sensitivity.
Is this product suited for sensitive skin?
- For sensitive skin, we recommend mixing Hypercorrect™ with a moisturizer before application to dilute the strength, and leave on skin for 5 minutes, gradually increasing to 15 minutes as tolerated. If no irritation occurs after a few weeks, we recommend applying without mixing with moisturizer.
Can I use HyperCorrect™ on the body?
- Yes. This product can be used on the body and left on for up to one hour. However, for use on sensitive areas such as lips, underarms and bikini lines, we recommend mixing HyperCorrect™ 50/50 with a moisturizer and leaving it on for only 5 minutes for your first 3 uses and then increasing to 15 minutes if tolerated.
Can I leave this treatment on my skin for more than 20 minutes?
- We strongly recommend that you follow usage instructions and only leave on the skin for up to 20 minutes. It is normal to experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during this time.
Why does this product have such a strong odor?
- HyperCorrect™ contains Cysteamine, an antioxidant that naturally has a strong odor most comparable to Sulfur. We have chosen not to mask this odor with artificial fragrance. The smell of this product does not affect the results.
Are your products tested on animals?
- No. We take pride in being a cruelty-free company!
