Q: What skin type is appropriate for using the Lytera® Skin Brightening System?
A: The Lytera® Skin Brightening System is appropriate for all skin types. It is ideal for skin types that have been preconditioned with a retinol product. If you have not used a retinol product before, begin by limiting use to twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night and then every night, as tolerated.
Q: What other SkinMedica® products can I use to complement the Lytera® Skin Brightening System?

Apply sunscreen after Lytera® Skin Brightening Complex in the morning.
Additionally, to maximize results, we recommend using TNS Essential Serum® in the morning and evening, and a SkinMedica® moisturizer in the evening, after applying Retinol Complex. Talk to your doctor or skin care specialist about what products are best for you.
