Sunny days!

A lighter version of the cream with the same maximum benefits. I enjoy this light texture of a lotion since it glides and is easily absorbed on the skin on the summer days. This would be my everyday summer brightening lotion depending on how sunny it gets. I would you this on the last step and it really helps to enlighten the skin a little more.

Wanted to love it, but it triggered my rosacea and was not as moisturizing.

This came as a recommendation from a friend who loved it so, I was extremely excited to try it. However, it was not a good fit for my skin since it triggered my rosacea. Also, it did not feel moisturizing — after application, it felt as if I have not put any moisturizer on. It could just be that this product is not appropriate for my skin type.

Brightening Face

I have suggested this to my girlfriend as she has pigmentation spots on one side of her face - after much ado for nothing she now uses it daily and it has helped her in a good way, I have to buy it as it appears its too expensive, I will gladly keep purchasing it - I will now have her try the serum - which I use daily and swear ✔️ , it is amazing the difference under the eyes 👀 I would never leave this step out of my Sturm routine 💫

Amazing lotion!!

I started using Dr Sturm’s products a few months ago and I am totally addicted. I have never encountered products that work so well, right away. I noticed an immediate difference as soon as I started using the Brightening Face Lotion. My skin looked radiant and spot free. I’m in love with this lotion.

Great lotion

This lotion is amazing but sooo expensive! Don’t think I’ll be able to keep purchasing because of the price! :(. But if you can afford it it’s wonderful!

Amazing!

Nothing brightens my skin like this lotion! It's a gamechanger for anyone looking to brighten up their complexion and reduce any dark spots.

I love it!!

I recently started using BRIGHTENING FACE LOTION. My skin approves happily. I got a chemical burn across my face a few years ago, and since that time, I have had to be careful of what I use. This lotion is gentle, light, moisturizing, and keeps my skin glowing. I love it!
