Even as you drink an ample amount of water throughout the day, your skin can still suffer from a lack of hydration. Additional contributing factors include lack of sleep, pollution irritants, skipping sunscreen, poor exfoliation, dead skin cell buildup, and makeup residue left on skin, to name a few. These factors can lead to dull-looking, dry skin with little luster. Fortunately, Origins uses potent ingredients in our products designed to address dullness, so you’re ready to glow!

Dull skin may lack radiance and/or showcase discolored areas on facial skin. If your skin lacks radiance or has dark spots caused by sun exposure or other factors, there are ways to improve its appearance. Try a brightening serum, such as Origins’ GinZing™ Into The Glow Brightening Serum or target uneven skin tone with Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Bright Dark Spot Correcting Serum. GinZing™ Into The Glow Brightening Serum helps boost natural cell turnover, imparts hydration, and immediately brightens dull-looking skin thanks to its formula with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, and Retexturizing blend of AHA/BHA and Green Coffee Seed.

You may also want to use a resurfacing night cream, such as High-Potency Night-A-Mins™ Resurfacing Cream With Fruit-Derived AHAs. It pulls double-duty as a peel and a moisturizing night cream, and the product invigorates the senses with Valerian, Vanilla, and Neroli scents. Apply it nightly as the last step in your nighttime skincare routine.

Exfoliating skin can also help instantly brighten dull skin. Modern Friction™ Nature’s Gentle Dermabrasion or Checks and Balances™ Polishing Face Scrub can be great choices.

Hyaluronic acid in our formulations helps provide instant hydration for your skin. This ingredient also locks in moisture so it stays put and helps your skin maintain beauty throughout the day. Niacinamide helps by supporting skin barrier and evening skin tone for visibly radiant, glowing skin. Additionally, Vitamin C helps brighten skin and helps reduce the appearance of dark spots, while AHAs help boost natural cell turnover with exfoliation that delivers smoother skin. Retinol in Plantscription™ Retinol Night Moisturizer also help promote skin’s natural cell turnover for a visibly brighter visage while reducing the look of pores.

Dark spots can be caused by many factors, including age, scarring and sun exposure. Help brighten the appearance of uneven skin tone with Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Bright Dark Spot Correcting Serum With Rosa Roxburghii, Vitamin C, and Rice Bran Extract, this formula works to help reduce the appearance of dark spots and increase glow, and it absorbs quickly to deliver concentrated nutrients. You can use it with other brightening products, such as Mega-Bright Dark Spot Correcting Night Mask or High-Potency Night-A-Mins™ Resurfacing Cream with Fruit-Derived AHAs. These skin care products contain brightening ingredients and impart soothing moisture.

Many people ask how to reduce the look of dark spots and discoloration. You can visibly reduce dark spots by implementing a skin care routine with products designed for uneven skin tone and discoloration. After cleansing, exfoliate with a gentle product, such as Origins Modern Friction™ Nature’s Gentle Dermabrasion. It contains Rice Starch to smooth the skin without causing irritation. Follow with a vitamin-packed serum, such as GinZing™ Into the Glow Brightening Serum. A day cream like Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Bright SPF 30 Oil-Free Moisturizer brightens the look of skin while protecting against UV rays, while a night cream like Mega-Bright Dark Spot Correcting Night Mask treats your skin to nourishing ingredients for hydration and a reduction in the look of dark spots.

Some of the best products for dark spots include day and night treatments that contain brightening ingredients. In the morning, apply Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Bright SPF 30 Oil-Free Moisturizer. The SPF protects against UV rays, which are a cause of dark spots and uneven skin tone. It hydrates all skin types and helps to visibly reduce discoloration and brighten and even the skin tone. At night, use Mega-Bright Dark Spot Correcting Night Mask to hydrate, nourish, and visibly reduce dark spots and discoloration. This formula features a blend of Rosa Roxburghii, Vitamins plus Chestnut Seed so you wake up to a brighter complexion over time.
