Stress is an all-too-common
condition for many of us and
while it presents itself in a
number of ways, adult acne
has become a marker for the
toll daily demands can have
on our complexions. New from
Dermalogica is a two-prong
approach to combat this
problem. Age Bright Spot Fader
has a complex that includes
salicylic acid to help clear the
skin and reduce the appearance
of an active breakout. It also
contains niacinamide and white
shiitake mushrooms, which
help to reduce the chance
of skin discolouration post-
breakout, working to brighten
and improve uneven skin tone.
