Skin Lightening
What is Skin Lightening?
Skin lightening is the controlled process of reducing excess melanin to reveal a brighter, more even complexion. Melanin forms when the enzyme tyrosinase becomes overactive — often triggered by acne, inflammation, sun exposure, hormonal shifts, or long-term tanning.
At ProGlow Studio, we've spent over a decade refining safe, science-backed formulas that work with your skin's natural biology — not against it. Our two signature serums, GlowingOil™ Original and GlowingOil™ Radiance, approach the skin-lightening journey through different pathways, but with one shared goal: radiant, healthy, even-toned skin.
Two Formulas. One Philosophy.
GlowingOil™ Original
The Clinical Powerhouse
Our breakthrough formula, inspired by the clinical principles of Kligman's Formula, combines Hydroquinone, Retinoic Acid, Vitamin C, and our full Radiance Complex™ (patent-pending).
This unique combination works on multiple levels:
- Hydroquinone temporarily reduces melanin production at the source
- Retinoic Acid accelerates cellular turnover to reveal fresher, clearer skin
- Vitamin C provides antioxidant defense and brightening support
- Radiance Complex™ adds a botanical, bio-engineered layer that enhances results and supports skin wellness
Ideal for: Rapid, visible improvement for stubborn hyperpigmentation, severe discoloration, perma-tans, melasma, and long-standing uneven tone — without steroids and without compromising skin quality.
GlowingOil™ Radiance
Hydroquinone-Free Evolution
Radiance is our next-generation evolution — a powerful botanical and bio-active formula that targets discoloration naturally. Built entirely on our Radiance Complex™, this formula uses plant-derived tyrosinase inhibitors, antioxidants, and skin-renewing peptides to:
- Fade dark marks
- Improve clarity
- Strengthen the moisture barrier
- Promote a smooth, glowing complexion
Ideal for: Sensitive skin, long-term maintenance, and those seeking an HQ-free routine with luxurious, gradual results and natural brightening.
Skin Bleaching vs Skin Lightening
Skin bleaching uses harsh chemicals like steroids or mercury to strip pigment from the surface — damaging the barrier, thinning the skin, and causing long-term complications.
Both formulas regulate melanin formation at the enzymatic level — allowing your natural skin cycle to reveal gradual, controlled, realistic improvement.
This is safe. This is science. This is ProGlow.
What Affects Your Results?
Sunlight & Sensitivity to Light
Hydroquinone degrades quickly in sunlight, which is why GlowingOil Original must be used away from direct sun exposure and stored in amber glass.
Radiance is more stable but still requires daily SPF to protect your progress.
Temporary Sensitivity
Mild redness, dryness, or peeling can occur — especially with Original.
Radiance tends to be gentler, making it suitable for first-time users.
Skin Thickness
Areas like the face, inner arms, and chest lighten fastest.
Thicker areas (knees, shoulders, elbows) take longer.
Consistency prevents patchiness and maintains an even glow.
