Dermalogica Age Bright Clearing Serum 1 oz — Salicylic Acid Exfoliating, Brightening Anti-Aging Treatment

Dermalogica Age Bright Clearing Serum is a dual-action, highly concentrated facial serum that exfoliates with salicylic acid while helping to reduce the appearance of breakout-related aging for clearer, smoother, brighter skin.

This serum blends targeted exfoliation and skin-brightening botanicals into a single step. Formulated to address active blemishes and visible signs of aging, it combines a beta hydroxy acid with the AGE Bright Complex and hydrating phytoactives to refine texture, even tone, and support a healthier-looking complexion. Use it as part of your morning and/or evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing.

How does this serum help with breakouts and texture?

Salicylic acid (a BHA) penetrates pores to help loosen oil and dead skin that contribute to blemishes, while the formula’s exfoliating action refines surface texture. At the same time, microbiome-supporting ingredients work to maintain a balanced skin environment so clearer-looking results are more sustainable.

• Highly concentrated salicylic acid targets oil build-up and pore congestion.
• Exfoliates dead skin cells for visibly smoother texture.
• AGE Bright Complex supports clarity without over-stripping.

Will this product improve skin brightness and tone?

Yes — the serum combines niacinamide and botanical actives to address uneven tone and dullness. These ingredients help reduce the appearance of discoloration over time while supporting a more luminous finish without heavy or pore-clogging oils.

• Niacinamide helps even skin tone and refine pore appearance.
• White shiitake mushroom and resurrection plant phytoactives add hydrating, brightening support.
• Light, non-greasy texture layers well under moisturizers and sunscreen.

How should I use the Age Bright Clearing Serum in my routine?

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin, allowing it to fully absorb before applying moisturizer or sunscreen. Use once or twice daily depending on skin sensitivity and exposure to exfoliants from other products.

• After cleansing, apply a thin, even layer to face; allow to dry.
• Follow with moisturizer; in daytime, use broad-spectrum SPF.
• Adjust frequency if using other acids or retinoids to avoid irritation.

Is this suitable for sensitive or aging-prone skin?

The formula balances active exfoliation with hydrating botanicals to minimize irritation while addressing aging signs related to breakouts. Sensitive skin types should introduce the serum gradually and monitor for redness or over-exfoliation, adjusting use as needed.

• Hydrating phytoactives and niacinamide help soothe and strengthen skin barrier.
• Introduce slowly if you have reactive skin—start every other day.
• Combine cautiously with other strong actives to prevent sensitivity.

Who is this for? Dermalogica Age Bright Clearing Serum is designed for anyone seeking a targeted solution for blemishes that also want to address visible aging signs — ideal for oily, combination, or breakout-prone skin that needs texture refinement and a brighter, more even-looking complexion. If you’re layering multiple actives, consult your skin-care advisor or patch-test first to determine the best frequency for your skin.
