Product Details & Benefits
Product Details & Benefits
This intensive brightening serum pairs 10% pharmaceutical-grade Vitamin C with 2% Hydroquinone to tackle stubborn hyperpigmentation—from dark spots and melasma to sun damage and post-acne marks.
- Level 3 brightening & pigmentation correction
- Level 2 fine line smoothing
- Oil-free, alcohol-free, hypoallergenic
Vivier's IntraDermal System (IDS)® stabilizes the active ingredients and drives deeper penetration: 2x better skin retention and 4x more Vitamin C reaching the dermis.
Recommended Use: 12-week cycles followed by Radiance Serum (hydroquinone-free) to maintain results. Always use with SPF 30+ daily.
Clinical Brightening Power
Hydroquinone is a dermatologist-trusted ingredient that targets hyperpigmentation at its source by blocking tyrosinase—the enzyme responsible for melanin production. This makes it highly effective against dark spots, melasma, sun damage, and post-acne discoloration.
For safe, optimal results, use in 12-week treatment cycles to prevent irritation or diminishing effectiveness. After completing your cycle, transition to Radiance Serum (our hydroquinone-free alternative) to preserve your progress without interruption. Consistent SPF 30+ protection is essential to prevent new pigmentation and protect your results.

"Alice is professional and skilled at medical injections. Little discomfort and no reddening in my experiences and the results are great! I strongly recommend her!
And as for the stock photo, let's go with number 4. The page also looks great. Thank you for placing the page link to the "free consult" part. I was thinking about it but forgot to mention it to you so that's awesome :)"
"I had an appointment with Tanya Tsang, she was very knowledgeable and clear with explaining the procedure. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a great injector. Arlo Medical it's self was also a nice clean and welcoming space. Thanks again for the great service."

"I had the most amazing experience with Phil at Arlo Medical Injections! I’ve seen various practitioners for Botox over the years and Phil was by far the best result! The experience overall was amazing. He truly is an artist with injectables. The location is beautiful and Phil really look the time to collaborate with me on my desired results. He is very knowledgeable, warm and precise. I would highly recommend his services."
"I am reviewing as someone who had never dabbled in the world of fillers and Botox, not until seeing Phil at Arlo Medical. I had heard so many good things, and had always wanted to try something to plump up my lips, so I took the leap…and I’m so glad I did! He is incredibly knowledgeable, and will be sure to share what he knows. Very thorough consultations, and very apparent that he is passionate about the trade. He will make you feel very comfortable before, during, and after the process. Most importantly, I am over the moon happy with how my lips turned out. Thank you, Phil!"
