facials for hyperpigmentation and brightening dull skin
Dullness and hyperpigmentation are best addressed at their root cause. At skoah facial shops, we offer a suite of facials designed to tone and brighten dull skin. Depending on your skin type, our skin trainers will recommend:
- the xtreme peel™. Looking for the best hyperpigmentation treatment for severe discoloration issues? Choose our high-content glycolic acid peel. It removes the top layers of skin, including skin damaged in a way that would cause pigmentation issues.
- the pro peel™. The pro peel is gentler than the xtreme peel, making it a better acne hyperpigmentation treatment. It’s also great for skin that’s dull from dryness or aging since it won’t strip as many natural oils.
- the facialiscious™ facial. We can add skin-brightening products or pigmentation-correcting serums to customize your facialiscious facial. Let your skin care trainer know what you’re struggling with, and we’ll pick a treatment to address your concerns.

After your facial, our skin care trainers will recommend products that you can take home to maintain your new glow. We choose skoah serums, toners, moisturizers and more to keep your skin looking healthy. With an in-store consultation, we tailor the products we suggest to your skin type and goals.
