HyperCorrect Intense Fading Cream

Pre-cleanse treatment powered with 5% Cysteamine

Sale price$ 53.00
(4.2)

Zero in on hyperpigmentation…when it least expects it: before you cleanse. We call it Step 0. HyperCorrect™ Intense Fading Cream is an award-winning pre-cleanse treatment powered with 5% Cysteamine to fade the look of stubborn hyperpigmentation, including discoloration caused by melasma. 

DESCRIPTION

When fading the look of stubborn hyperpigmentation or discoloration caused by melasma seems impossible, it’s time to rethink your routine. Enter HyperCorrect™ Intense Fading Cream, your Step 0 to get to those dark spots first.

Free of hydroquinone, this innovative wash-off treatment is applied to dry, uncleansed skin (aka Step 0). It contains a powerful blend of 5% Cysteamine, a cutting-edge ingredient that has shown significant efficacy in improving the appearance of stubborn hyperpigmentation, plus 1% Niacinamide and Vitamin E to target dark spots and minimize the visible signs of premature aging. With daily use, your skin will feel smoother and your complexion will look more even-toned. Plus it's one of only a few Cysteamine creams on the market, HyperCorrect™ is not only affordable, but now accessible outside of a dermatologist's office.

Aesthetician Tip! Try using HyperCorrect™ in the evening before you cleanse your face. We call it “fighting dirty” (applying over the day’s dirt, grime and makeup is just fine). If no irritation occurs, you can introduce these ingredients back into your regimen along with Cysteamine, however at opposite times of the day. For example, if HyperCorrect™ is used at night, then use your other active treatment serums in the morning.

Who Should Use
If you struggle with stubborn hyperpigmentation, melasma, post-acne scars, uneven skin tone or rough texture, this is for you!

How It Looks/Smells/Feels
This white/off white cream is lightweight with a strong sulfur-like odor.

FAQs

Do I have to apply this before I cleanse my skin?
Yes. Apply this treatment to your skin before cleansing or washing off your makeup. Alternatively, you can wait one hour after cleansing and apply to dry skin. Always rinse off with your favorite gentle cleanser and follow with a moisturizer, and if used in the daytime, apply an SPF 30 or higher.

Why is it recommended to apply this to my face before cleansing or washing off my makeup?
Applying this formula with Cysteamine to freshly cleansed skin or damp/wet skin can increase skin sensitivity.

Is this product suited for sensitive skin?
For sensitive skin, we recommend mixing Hypercorrect™ with a moisturizer before application to dilute the strength, and leave on skin for 5 minutes, gradually increasing to 15 minutes as tolerated. If no irritation occurs after a few weeks, we recommend applying without mixing with moisturizer.

Can I use HyperCorrect™ on the body?
Yes. This product can be used on the body and left on for up to one hour. However, for use on sensitive areas such as lips, underarms and bikini lines, we recommend mixing HyperCorrect™ 50/50 with a moisturizer and leaving it on for only 5 minutes for your first 3 uses and then increasing to 15 minutes if tolerated.

Can I leave this treatment on my skin for more than 20 minutes?
We strongly recommend that you follow usage instructions and only leave on the skin for up to 20 minutes. It is normal to experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during this time.

Why does this product have such a strong odor?
HyperCorrect™ contains Cysteamine, an antioxidant that naturally has a strong odor most comparable to Sulfur. We have chosen not to mask this odor with artificial fragrance. The smell of this product does not affect the results.

Are your products tested on animals?
No. We take pride in being a cruelty-free company!

If I took your Skin Quiz and this product wasn’t suggested, does that mean that I shouldn’t use it?

"I love it"

Arica (5/5)

No changes after 16 weeks

"No change after 16 weeks of daily treatments. Used on various types of discolorations and body areas with no changes. Disappointing. Wasted over $100. 00 and my time."

Denise (1/5)

Too expensive to continue experiment

"I've been using this to fade age spots daily, for about 8 weeks. I notice only a very very slight pigmentation reduction, and only on certain spots. I'd love to continue using this for the full 16 weeks, but it's just too expensive to repurchase with no guarantee that my spots will be gone."

Denise G. (3/5)

So far I’ve not seen

"So far I’ve not seen any changes to my dark marks with this product which is slightly disappointing especially given the price. It seemed to also irritate my skin and give me more spots (leading to more fake marks) which is counter productive. Not the best for acne prone skin."

Victoria L. (2/5)

Wonderful but worried

"This has done an amazing job fading a large sunspot on my chest. I am very, very concerned that the product has been discontinued. Is that the case USRx? Please let me know."

AR (5/5)

This works, you just have to give it some time!!!

"When will this be back in stock??? It’s a staple in my regimen. Will the MedSpa peel pads ever come back??? As well as the Advanced Even Tone Day & Night. It seems like all of the older products are being discontinued."

Nia A. (5/5)

Faded my melasma - be patient

"I noticed after using just a couple of times, my skin texture looked much smoother, however I hadn't notice much of a difference with my melasma immediately. In my 6th week of using it though, there was a noticeable difference in the fading of my melasma. my skin just looked brighter, healthier and more even toned. I am very happy with this product and thank you Urban skin!!! I have tried so many different products, but this works the best and I haven't even finished the initial treatment. Can't wait to see what my skin will be like in another 10 weeks!"

Q&A

When will this product be restocked?? Is it discontinued?
We expect to have it restocked sometime in December! We appreciate your patience and recommend trying our After Breakout Fade + Clarify Serum in the meantime.
When will this product be in stock or when will a replacement product be available?
We expect to have it restocked sometime in December! We appreciate your patience and recommend trying our After Breakout Fade + Clarify Serum in the meantime.
There's no expiry date on my tube. What's going on?
Expiration dates are listed on OTC products only; however, this product is good up to 12 months after opening.
Can I use this while also using hydroquinone cream to spot treat my dark spots
We recommend consulting with your dermatologist for the best way to incorporate these products into your skincare routine safely.
I am 85 years old so you can relate to the youthful experience I had of sitting in the hot sun for hours with nothing on but baby oil. You can also relate to the experience I am having now of multiple dark spots on my face. Could you please recommend a treatment plan with your products that might help at least in minimizing the spots. Thank you!
We recommend starting with the Even Tone + Dark Spot Kit which features four of our favorites for ditching dark spots and uneven skin tone! This complete regimen includes everything you need to cleanse, tone, brighten and hydrate your skin. This kit doesn't include sunscreen and one with an SPF 30 or higher will be needed daily for optimal results.
