Could your skincare regimen use these brightening basics?

Every regimen requires a few essentials, regardless of skin type—and a cleanser and exfoliator are at the top of the list. We have our preferences when it comes to specific formulations, but if you like a gel cleanser (which comes in handy once the weather heats up) and a scrub, then MEG 21’s new Bright & Clear Brightening Gel Cleanser and Exfoliating Scrub are for you.

Beyond serving up suds for days, this supercharged cleanser features MEG 21’s proprietary Supplamine, which is designed to prevent the collagen-damaging glycation process caused by excess sugars in the body. This ingredient has also been found to lighten unwanted pigment, but MEG 21 also threw in mulberry and bearberry extracts to ensure you see a more even-toned complexion with continued use. The clear gel is also enhanced with grapeseed and green tea extracts for antioxidant protection, as well as vitamin B5 and glycerin for extra moisture.

The Brightening Exfoliating Scrub makes a great addition to any skincare lineup, too, and it also contains the aforementioned Supplamine plus ultra-fine grapeseed powder for gentle yet effective exfoliation, along with complexion-brightening bilberry extract, pore-reducing grapefruit peel and citric acid for ca dash of chemical-based exfoliation.

So if you’re looking to upgrade your skincare basics—or fill in any regimen blanks that are missing, consider these high-performance products… I’m glad I have them on hand to keep my skin looking even and radiant this summer!
