How is this different from Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector® SPF 50?
Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector SPF 50 and Even Up® Multi-Correction Serum are designed to be used together as part of the Colorescience simple 3-Step hyperpigmentation regimen that address all phases impacting the appearance of discoloration in the skin- causes (or triggers) of discoloration, the hyperpigmentation process, and cell turnover.
Both Even Up® Multi-Correction Serum and Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector SPF 50 feature our patented Lumira® brightening complex to address the appearance of hyperpigmentation by supporting multiple aspects of the melanogenesis process.
Our best-selling Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector® SPF 50 is a treatment and SPF combo. It is formulated with all-mineral zinc oxide and titanium dioxide that offer SPF 50 defense from UV damage. It also includes iron oxides which give it a light tint that immediately color corrects brown spots and discoloration for a more even complexion. Iron oxides also provide defense against blue, or high energy visible (HEV) light. Due to color and SPF defense, it is Ideal for daytime use.
Even Up® Multi-Correction Serum has a colorless, lightweight fluid texture. In addition to Lumira®, it also includes ingredients that help to smooth skin's texture, increase moisture, and improve moisture retention. Skin barrier health is improved, and skin appears more luminous and youthful. This serum can be used both day and night.
Each can be used alone, or together to maximize results.
The final step in the regimen is application of our Total Protection™ Brush-on Shield SPF 50 for continued defense against environmental aggressors - UVA/UVB and blue light which trigger hyperpigmentation, and against pollution and infrared radiation.
Can I use ONLY Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector® SPF 50 OR Even Up® Multi-Correction Serum?
Yes, both products include the same concentration of our highly effective, patented Lumira® brightening complex. However, each are formulated to address different aspects of the skin renewal process. When used together as part of the Colorescience simple 3-Step regimen, participants in the clinical study showed significant improvement not only in their MASI scores but also in skin hydration as well as skin smoothness and softness. 97% of the participants said they will continue using the full 3-Step regimen and will recommend it to others.
Using both together enables an additional usage or dose of Lumira in your routine if you are using the serum twice daily with the Clinical Pigment Perfector® once daily. In addition, Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector® SPF 50 provides defense against UVA, UVB, and HEV, all of which can trigger or worsen stubborn discoloration. Using both together allows you to both protect against and correct hyperpigmentation.
Can I use/ How do I use Even Up® Multi-Correction Serum with Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector® SPF 50 or All Calm® Clinical Redness Corrector?
Even Up® Multi-Correction Serum is a lightweight fluid that is easily layered into any skincare routine. It is formulated to be used both AM/PM. In the daytime, apply the serum to cleansed skin. Follow with any additional treatment products such as Pep Up Collagen Renewal Face and Neck treatment or moisturizer, if desired. Then follow with Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector SPF 50 or All Calm Clinical Redness Corrector SPF 50 for someone who is wishing to address both redness and hyperpigmentation.
I use a non-CS hyperpigmentation product or product type (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, etc). Can I also use Even Up® Multi-Correction Serum?
We always recommend a skin patch test before starting a new product to ensure you don't experience any skin reactions, especially If adding to an existing treatment regimen. In our clinical study, 100% of the participants who were already using other skincare products (including products for hyperpigmentation), felt their results were improved after adding the Colorescience 3-Step regimen of Even Up® Multi-Correction Serum, Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector SPF 50 and Total Protection Brush on Shield SPF 50. In addition, no adverse events or sensitivities where experienced.
How do I layer this with other products?
When layering with other skincare products, start with the lowest viscosity (thinnest, most liquid) product first. You will find that with the lightweight texture, Even Up® Multi-Correction Serum layers well before and after your favorite skincare products.
After Even Up® Multi-Correction Serum, apply other thicker, more viscous serums, followed by moisturizers, creams/lotions. This applies to both your AM and PM routine.
Can Even Up® be applied to eyelids?
Even Up ® has not been tested for use around the eye area. Use caution when applying near the eye area and avoid getting product into the eyes.
How long do I need to use this to see results?
Individual results may vary. In our clinical study, participants saw improvements in hyperpigmentation, hydration, and skin texture as early as 2 weeks using Even Up® Multi-Correction Serum twice daily with Even Up® Clinical Pigment Perfector SPF 50 once daily, and Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF 50 throughout the day. Consistent use of sunscreen is important to prevent further discoloration and damage from UV and HEV light.
