Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum.

"Kic acid is great. It binds to the copper ions in the tyrrosinase enzymes and then it prevents the enzyme from producing any melanin, which makes it a really great ingredient in skincare for hyperpigmentation and dark spots. So, this is the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyper dark spot and hyperpigmentation treatment. The packaging is a little gimmicky, but the product itself is great. It also contains arbutin, niacinamide, and brightenyl, which seems to be a newer ingredient I'm starting to notice in more products."

"I've been testing it about six weeks or so, using literally one pump and focusing mostly on my forehead where most of my hyperpigmentation melasma is. For what this product promises, it's a brightening serum that fades the look of dark spots, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, and I would say this delivers on all three of those. I do believe it's helped brighten my skin up a bit since I started testing it out and adding it to my routine about six weeks ago. I think the winner ingredient in this is that Bright Now, with diglycolic gallic acid being the main star of the show. I've tried tons of other products with niacinamide, alpha arbutin, kojic acid, licorice, and they've all helped to some extent, but for me I think that Bright Now was the star of the show. I do think it's helped brighten up my forehead. The one thing I dislike about this is that I really don't like having mica and titanium dioxide in many products, especially ones I use at night. They're a colorant and I don't really care if my serum is pearlescent looking or not."

"I finally had a chance to try this and I thought it was expensive and I initially thought there'd be more of a refill with it but it's for what it is it's really expensive. [...] You get one refill and then them added up together I think don't even equal a full ounce. There's lots of great brightening products out there that you don't need to spend a ridiculous amount. This isn't a bad product by any means but if you're looking for something brightening, this one's too expensive. I just wouldn't recommend it to the average person because there's some other great ones that are brightening [...] without being overly expensive."

"The Dr. Idriss brand, founded by dermatologist Dr. Shireen Idriss focusing on clinical solutions for pigmentation, redness, and texture. I haven't had an issue with the products. I don't like the packaging of most of them. They're gimmicky, and I really hate them. This little serum which has a refill, it just seems like a waste of too much plastic packaging when it could have been packaged much more efficiently and superiorly than it is now."

"This was the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Serum which uses the most gimmicky annoying packaging ever and I had to have cameraman switch these two out because I was unable to get this cartridge out."

"This is the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum and it has been impressive. [...] I've spent serious time in the heat and the sun very recently and the pigmentation is dramatically calmer than it should be. And that really got my attention. [...] I love that they come with these little refills so I don't have to keep buying the plastic case all the time, but by having two in here, it just keeps the product fresher. [...] This has definitely survived the low-buy because I actually have it on a repeat order and it shows up every 3 months."

"This is a very lightweight daytime gel based lotion. It's thicker than a gel. I don't really go for gels, by the way. This is not the type of product that I would go for. I like heavy, rich creams. I have mature skin, I have dry skin, and I love this product. I have been using this every day since I got it. It also contains vitamin C, [...] so her idea is use fewer products that do more things. I like the form factor of this. I love the packaging as well, and I love the squish top. You're going to dispense just a little bit. I don't really think it's a gel, I think it's in between a gel and a lotion, it feels like an emulsion to me, [...] but this is nice, [...] it's very elegant. I never thought it would get me through the day, I just thought it's too light, but it does. I've been using that every day, but if you're putting it under a sunscreen, then you're also getting [...] a bit of moisture from there."

"The Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum sits in this space. This isn't a quick results product, it's part of a very committed pigment experimentation. Pigmentation is a newer target for me, especially heading into summer when my melasma can flare, so I've committed to at least six months using this one product. The texture is beautiful, it layers easily. I've opened a new one [...] and already reordered the backup, the replacement just arrived today. So this isn't necessarily permanent yet, but it's very deliberate."

"This is Dr. Idriss's Major Fade Hyper Serum, the one I forgot to cancel before the new import rules came in. I love this product, I signed up for the refills and I would absolutely keep it up. It's great for tackling my melasma, it's easy to travel with, it feels so nice on the skin, but it's about to cost me a small fortune in fees when it lands in Ireland."

"I made Dr. Idriss Major Fade specifically for you guys. I simplified it for you so you could stick to it because consistency is what gives you results. It's a three-step system with ingredients like hydroquinone, KIC acid, arbutin, licorice root, vitamin C, and other antioxidants like glutathione and hexylresorcinol that help to minimize pigment and make sure that melanin doesn't get transferred out into the rest of your skin. You can find all of these ingredients minus the hydroquinone in this system, and it's a solid product with multiple actives at the right levels to really target your pigmentation."

"The major fade hyper serum is the powerhouse serum. This is the correction step that's going to help to fade the dark spots and instantly illuminate your skin."

"The number one product within our Sephora picks for dark spots is my hyper serum. This is a powerhouse serum that comes with a refill for 68 bucks. [...] Why is it a powerhouse? Because it has kojic acid, arbutin, licorice root, niacinamide, dioic acid, gallic acid in addition to the fact that it is hydrating upon application and it gives an instant glow. Now the instant glow doesn't mean that it's working instantly. It just gives you the oomph to keep carrying on because the name of the game is consistency."

"I love the Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum [...] because it is a hydrating serum that also is going to target pigmentation and discoloration. It has squalane and glycerin in addition to the pigment fighting actives. If pigmentation and discoloration is your biggest issue like it is mine, I love this serum."

"Given that my biggest concern has always been my melasma, which tends to wake up, and I see dark spots as the number one sign of aging from a cosmetic angle, I'm always going to target dark spots. And that's what the hyper serum does. [...] I go in with a little bit extra and dab it underneath my eyes because I always want to try to brighten my under eyes as well."

"Given that I'm a cosmetic derm, the first place that you can really impact when you are aging and starting to feel a little bit down on yourself is hyperpigmentation and discoloration. And so for me, the hero line is the Major Fade line. You can find this on our site in the doctor's orders kit if you've never tried it out. It will last you anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks."

"The Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyper Serum is a powerhouse serum that not only hydrates but also brightens and then instantly illuminates your skin. I do not use a highlighter on my face. I just put this over my makeup. I actually put it under my makeup, but I add it a little bit over and it gives an instant glow and it is perfection. I've been using it twice a day every day since inception and it is my favorite product of all time."

"If your issue is pigmentation discoloration [...] that has gotten slowly worse over time and you don't really have any genetic predispositions, you want to look for products like the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum, which has [...] brightening ingredients: kojic acid, arbutin, licorice root, a little bit of niacinamide, and even the hydration through the glycerin can make a big difference. This is not a dedicated eye cream, but a serum for the rest of the face that is moisturizing, and it can also double up as an eye cream. [...] This way you get the double bang for your buck, you're not only brightening but you're also going to be hydrating."

"The major fade line is to target discoloration. And I didn't put azelaic acid in this line because to really get an effect for melasma or stubborn pigment, it should be at 15% or more. But if you have your melasma or hyperpigmentation or discoloration under control, you utilizing an azelaic acid from 0 to 10%, no one's going to use that. 0% you might as well not use it up to 10% is going to help to maintain your gains that you've already achieved."

"I went back on Major Fade and my brown spots are so much better. This guy goes everywhere I go. I am never quitting on Hyper Serum again. [...] This is my bread and butter every single day. I will not skip a day where I do not use the hyper serum. [...] The hyper serum is now every single day, twice a day."

"I personally did not include retinoids in my skincare line, Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum. Although retinoids are very important, the reason I did not include them in the lineup is because you must know the type and the percent of the retinoid you're using. To mix a retinoid in with other actives that are targeting a very specific problem is doing you a disservice, because you might tolerate a higher retinoid or you might not tolerate it at all, and you want to get the benefit of the other ingredients that are minimizing hyperpigmentation and discoloration."

"My Hyper Serum, again, different name, same great formula. Nothing changed in terms of formulation or ownership of the brand, we just changed the brand name. This is a brightening serum that is hydrating. It has kojic acid, arbutin, licorice fruit, and when you buy it you get a second cartridge as well in order to ensure freshness, so that they do not get exposed to light or air. This retails for $68 and it is great for evening out your skin tone and it gives your skin an extra sheen. I have it on my face this morning."

"That is why I created the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum. This is a powerhouse serum that retails for $68. It is great for pigmentation and discoloration, in terms of brown discoloration. It has a few powerhouse ingredients like kojic acid, arbutin, licorice fruit, as well as an ingredient known as diglucosyl gallic acid. When you apply this serum it does give an instant glow, so I will use it at the end of my makeup, like I did today, on the top parts of my cheek, to add that instant illuminating glow while also making sure my skin is getting extra benefits from the serum. It has no fragrance."

"The Hyperpigmentation Serum by Dr. Idriss Major Fade is a brightening powerhouse. It has kojic acid, arbutin, licorice root, a little bit of niacinamide, not more than 5%, d-glucosyl gallic acids, squalane, and glycerin among others to help brighten your skin in the long run. But I love that it gives this instant glowing effect. It's a glow pen in my book and I'm obsessed."

"Alpha arbutin, which is in our Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum, that's an antioxidant that's going to help protect our skin from the damage of the day."

"The Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum is targeting pigmentation, but it's based in glycerin and there's no hyaluronic acid in it, if you do not want to be double dipping on the hyaluronic acid in your routine."

"I will always apply a little bit of my hyper serum on the apples of my cheeks because not only does it help to maintain an even skin tone but it gives the instant illuminating effect that you guys are actually seeing in this video right now."

"If you have a lot of brown spots, you use the hyper serum major fade hyper serum. Four clicks [...] all over your face. You can also use it to spot on the back of your hands, your chest, you name it. This is what you use after you exfoliate if you have brown spots."

"I go in with the hyper Serum by Dr. Idriss, again my brand I'm biased I love this product, this is probably my favorite one. I'm going to use six drops tonight because of my under eyes. This is loaded in kojic acid, arbutin, licorice di glucoside, gallic acid, it has niacinamide as well and it is great for inflammation, for minimizing the look of discoloration. As somebody who has melasma who cannot be using hydroquinone all the time, I like to use it on a daily basis to minimize how I make pigment so I don't hyperpigment or get an unwanted ugly flare up. The reason I put six drops is because I want to go underneath my eyes to make sure that this nastiness doesn't turn into a dark brown spot over time."

"This is where multi-ingredient stories are very interesting. Obviously I am biased and I own the brand, but the Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum by Dr. Idriss is a multi-ingredient story. I understand why it's tricky for you as the consumer, because you have to have an understanding of the brand and a good relationship and honestly trust with the brand to know that they're giving you ingredients not just at claim value but at actual levels of efficacy. So very honestly, the Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum is at higher levels, and if you're sensitive it may be too strong, but always worth a test and a patch test."

"The hyper serum is an important step in the routine because this is really attacking the melany from within and this particular product has a couple of key ingredients that you would probably want to incorporate in your routine as well alpha arbutin. Alpha arbutin is a very interesting ingredient because it inhibits the activity of tyrosinase it is a cousin of hydroquinone but it's not and it converts into hydroquinone but it is not hydroquinone. A lot of people ask me if it safe in pregnancy or not the reality is Alpha arbutin gets converted after it gets absorbed through your skin so depending on your body surface area how much you're using and how much actually gets converted the logical answer is probably not enough to be dangerous but nobody's ever going to do a test on a pregnant person to prove that so you make what you want out of that."

"This is the powerhouse serum. This is what I use in the morning. This is what's going to help keep the pigmentation at bay during the day. Because vitamin C yes you need vitamin C, [...] but vitamin C alone is not going to help your pigmentation, especially if you are prone to melasma. You need more to help minimize your day to calm your day down. This one [...] has the powerhouse ingredients that calms melasma down."

"The hyper serum [...] is like for me the best of all worlds because this is going to help to minimize the look of brown discoloration. There's also an ingredient in the hyper serum [...] that reduces the look of redness and that is digosil galic acid. If you're using these during the day, make sure to apply the hyper serum at night. And if you're using these at night, make sure to apply the hyper serum during the day because it works really nicely together to get the red and the brown out of your face."

"My personal baby that I absolutely could not live without for me would be the Dr Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum because I have had melasma and I've kept it really calm at bay over the past two years. [...] I haven't done a laser treatment since September 2022 and the way I think I've kept my melasma at bay is by being super consistent with an over-the-counter skincare routine. [...] It has been the staple of my routine and has truly been one of these three products for my discoloration. [...] I do think most people develop brown spots because we're out and about, we're living in the sun, you probably weren't wearing sunscreen when you were a kid and you're going to get them as you get older, and so you want to suppress how those appear over time."

"If you're looking for a serum that can also brighten and hydrate and instantly illuminate your skin, that is why I created this. It also has arbutin in addition to the niacinamide, but it also contains kojic acid, which is crucial when you're talking about brightening your skin, especially if you have conditions such as melasma. You want to be incorporating these actives throughout the course of the year. This is a hydrating creamy serum, so you are going to get some hydration through this serum. But the other thing that I did intentionally with this is give it an instant illuminating effect because I wanted people to get motivated by the results that they're starting to see. Even though yes, it's not real in the sense that it's not working right away, nothing works right away when it comes to your skin, but I wanted people to get excited by this glow so that they could be consistent with their routine. It can also hydrate your skin in the process. So I tend to use this and double it up as an under eye cream."

"My hero pick is the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum because it is multitasking. It is a hydrating serum that also brightens, a brightening serum that also hydrates. You can use it on stubborn spots, plus I use it as a double up under eye cream. [...] I use it both in the morning and at night, four clicks to my face every single day, and I have not missed a day since 2021 when I finalized that formula."

"I take the Major Fade Dr Idriss hyperpigmentation serum and normally when I'm barefaced I go directly on my face after I've washed my face but when my makeup is on I will take a tiny little dot and I will apply it to my cheeks the high points of my cheeks and it just gives a beautiful glow. You can literally go around your lips, I will take a tiny amount and hit it underneath my eyes as well."

"The three products include these ingredients to really help block the production of pigment at various different points it includes them at levels of efficacy that are going to make a statistically significant difference"

"It is our best selling product, it is an award-winning product, and quite frankly if I had to choose a favorite, she would be it. [...] I like her over makeup as well because it just gives this instant glow. I kind of sometimes use it as a highlighter, knowing that my skin is reaping the benefits. [...] My melasma is really over here in the summer, but I use this over anything I put on my face. The [...] hyper serum contains a bunch of actives that are going to even out your skin tone from salicylic acid, arbutin, licorice root, ellagic acid which can help with redness, glycerin, and it has a little bit of niacinamide, not more than 5%. It is loaded with a bunch of other actives as well. [...] Licorice root extract has been shown to help your skin, and there are other actives throughout the formula."

"My favorite brightening serum is the Dr. Idriss Hyper Serum, loaded with kojic acid, arbutin, licorice root, niacinamide at 5% and diglucosyl gallic acid to help with redness. If you have red acne marks that would turn brown, this helps minimize them and minimizes existing brown discoloration. [...] As a hack I also use it as an under eye serum to help with darkness there."

"Over-the-counter creams with kojic acid, arbutin, licorice root, niacinamide, and vitamin C, like the Major Fade line, will help on the margin, but it can still at least help somewhat. It's not going to be a grand slam. It targets how pigment is made."

"This is where the major fade hyper serum is a powerhouse because it has arbutin, licorice root, niacinamide. It even has diglycolic acid which helps to minimize the redness when it first appears and that eventually turns into the brown spots. But the thing I love the most about this is that it gives your skin an illuminating effect. So you look like you've used a highlighter obsessed. So it hydrates and it brightens and illuminates all in one."

"I go in for the Pillow Talk Durham Hyper Serum because that is my jam. My jam is to be as even as possible because in my practice I've noticed if you have an even skin tone you are set for life. The Hyper Serum has kojic acid, arbutin, licorice root, niacinamide at five percent. It's one of the powerhouse products to address hyperpigmentation and discoloration. Love, love, love and I mean that. The sheen from the mandelic from Allies of Skin and this is like fantabulous."

"I love the Hyper Serum. I use it twice a day every single day. I've been using it since August 2021 when I finalized the production. It has licorice root, it has arbutin, it has niacinamide, and it has a bunch of other things all mixed in to one. She retails for sixty-eight dollars. It's in a solid component and it comes with a refillable cartridge so it's never exposed to the air, and once you're done you can pop this open to get all the goodness out. It does not have vitamin C, but I love her."

"I used the Pillow Talk Derm Hyper Serum, which I created, so I have a conflict of interest, but it has ingredients geared towards minimizing how pigment is produced."

"This is one that is super hydrating. It also helps work on anti-pigmentation with the digosal galic acid and, I believe, tranexamic acid."

"Another holy grail is the hyper serum by Dr. Idriss. This is for pigmentation. It has glycerin, super hydrating, but if you're working on pigmentation, this is a great serum. [...] They come with two refills. So it's great. You get two fresh refills. And as you know, I travel with this all the time. It's kind of my one and done travel serum that I bring on the plane if I'm feeling kind of dry. It goes nicely over makeup for just a little highlight. Love this."

"If you combine this with the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum, this is a magical daytime treatment for anti-aging dark spots."

"My two favorites are the Hyperfade serum. I take this everywhere with me. You know, I love to travel with it. It helps with dark spots. Super hydrating."

"I really like this formula. This one just comes in a really cool cartridge and you can also skip the moisturizer step because this is super moisturizing it has the moisturizer glycerin in it so again if you're not in a dry climate and you don't have dry skin just skip the moisturizer because this has moisturizer in it."

"I got through another cartridge of the hypers serum by Dr. Idriss and she sent me a cup full of refills with this Super Bling refill container. She came out with this bling cartridge holder, it's so cute."

"I love the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum, one of my all-time favorites. It's super hydrating, helps keep down pigmentation, and makes your skin just look incredibly glowy. Absolutely love this serum, one of my all-time favorites."

"A travel size Sunday Riley Good Genes for gentle exfoliation and hydration. My favorite all-around skincare travel companion is Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum. This is great for just a general moisturizer. It also helps with pigmentation."

"So on to the anti-pigmentation serum. This is the one by Dr. Idriss, the Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum. Her whole line is geared toward maintaining pigmentation, which is something that is a huge goal of mine. I love the serum. Just look at that, it just makes your skin glow. It is amazing."

"I've been using this for 2 years and absolutely love it. It has ingredients that are different from the three that I tried. I've had great luck with this. The Dr. Idriss Major Fade has alpha arbutin, it also has kojic acid, diglucosamine gallic acid, and niacinamide. So if you're using another product in the evening I would use this in the morning because they both have niacinamide, unless you're not sensitive to niacinamide then you probably don't need to worry about it. Alpha arbutin is another tyrosinase inhibitor but it claims to be more gentle and not target the production of tyrosinase at the genetic level so you may want to give that a try. Diglucosamine gallic acid decreases inflammation."

"I love them both. I highly recommend both of them. I've been getting some darker spots along my brow area so apparently I'm probably not getting my sunscreen up to my hairline high enough so something's going on and to be perfectly honest I've jumped back into my rotation of hydroquinone in my evening routine so just to let you know that I am using a prescription along with my daytime topicals."

"An all-time fave is the Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum by Dr. Idriss. I love the serum, it's always in my routine, it's my travel companion. It hydrates, it has pigment fighters, it also helps calm my redness. It has all the ingredients I need, kind of a one-and-done serum. If I'm just taking one serum with me when I travel, this is the one I take. This will definitely be in my skincare routine this winter because I use it as a maintenance serum for those particular three problems that I always have year round."

"This is a new serum that I'm trying for anti-pigmentation. If you have been on my channel for a while you know that I usually use the Major Fade serum by Dr. Idriss."

"I use the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum for brightening, it has lots of brightening ingredients. I also use this when I want a very light moisturizer and I don't want to come in with a second moisturizer. This is my second or third empty of these, and it's super cool, it comes with a refill, you buy one, load it, and it comes with two of these. [...] It's a refillable container, you just load it and click it in, and when you're done you pull it out, toss that piece out, and you still keep the dispenser. [...] This has been on repeat for me. [...] It's a brightening and very moisturizing product, and [...] it just gives your skin a gorgeous glow."

"This is one of your faves and my fave"

"Another serum that I absolutely love that tackles pigmentation is the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum. This has been a go-to of mine since launch. I absolutely love this. I carry this on the plane with me. It is the only skincare that I do on the plane. If my skin's feeling dry I just put it on, even over makeup, but this is fabulous for pigmentation. It has several pigment fighters: diglucos gallic acid which helps reduce redness, it also has kojic acid which helps reduce the dark look of dark spots, and alpha arbutin which improves the appearance of uneven skin tone, and niacinamide, the all-around goodie that the skin brightener. It helps with skin barrier protection and it also helps with the moisture barriers, so you're getting multiple ingredients in here that help with hydration, the look of fine lines, and decreased pigment. I always have one of these riding around in my purse and on my bathroom counter."

"[Tranexamic] acid and alpha arbutin are also in one of my favorite serums by Dr. Idriss. This is her Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum. You guys know that I travel with it. It's also super moisturizing and hydrating. The extra ingredient in this formula that supports anti-pigmentation is digallic acid which helps with redness and inflammation."

"Her hyper serum is one of my absolute favorite serums ever."

"My all-around favorite serum is the one by Dr. Idriss, this is her Major Fade Hyperpigmentation Serum. But it not only helps fight pigment, it also moisturizes the skin, it also helps calm redness, which is something I deal with all the time. This is the one that I travel with if I don't take any other serum along because it kind of targets several of my skincare problems."
