Many variables will contribute to when results should be expected from Brightening Complex, such as pigment depth, pigment source, if the source has been managed or eliminated, how long the pigment has been present, consistency of regimen and diligent SPF use. For best results it is imperative that a full regimen is followed from cleansing, to complex use, hydration and diligent SPF. Resistant skin with long term pigment should expect to see fading in 90 days. Minor or recently developed pigment may see a result within 30-60 days. When pigment diminishes the skin care regimen can be modified, but must be maintained.
