Details & care

What it is: The Bright Set contains three targeted formulations that contain well-studied brightening ingredients to help visibly target uneven skin tone, while brightening dull skin.

Set includes:

- Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (3.3 oz.): a daily AHA exfoliating toner that helps prep the skin by exfoliating skins surface. The formulation helps to boost skin brightness, while also smoothing the feel of skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

- Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA (1 oz.): a daily serum that helps even skin tone appearance, while reducing the look of dark spots. The formulation contains a high 2% concentration of alpha arbutin and boosts radiance while also improving the overall appearance of skin quality

- Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG (1 oz.): a depuffing eye serum that helps brighten tired eyes. With a 5% concentration of caffeine combined with a highly-purified EGCG, the formulation helps brighten the appearance of dark circles around the eye area, while also reducing the look of puffiness

How to use: Use toner ideally in the PM, no more frequently than once per day. After cleaning, saturate a cotton pad with the formula and sweep across face and neck. Apply a few drops of Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA to the face in the morning and evening. Massage a small amount of Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG onto the eye contour AM and PM.

Very versatile!
This product is so versatile. I use it for bumpy skin, scalp care, and on my face to improve fullness and texture. I love that it comes in a large size because I use it everyday.

Not as expected!
I have been using the bright set for one month and have not had any positive results. I did have a few breakouts but the caffeine dark circle eye corrector did absolutely nothing. So disappointed.

Hi there! Thank you for your feedback. We apologise your experience with The Bright Set is not what you imagined. While we try to make our formulas suitable for everyone, we understand some products just don't work out for some people. It's important to note that with any active ingredient that affects skin behavior, there can be an initial purging period during which breakouts are normal. It is also important to note that when introducing new products and sciences into your regimen, your skin may require up to a month to adjust. If you'd like to discontinue use, please visit deciem.com/returns.html to explore our 365-day return policy :-)

perfect gift
This is a great gift set from The Ordinary, it is really good value and is perfect as a gift or for someone who is just starting out in skin care. I have sensitive skin and the products do not cause me any irritation whatsoever. The glycolic acid toner is my absolute favourite product from The Ordinary, it is just amazing and such good value too!

Excellent value
The Ordinary products are a revelation. Very affordable and excellent skincare. This is another good value set which treats the skin and gives results you usually have to pay a lot more for. My skin has never looked or felt better, so soft and clear.

12 days of use daily, amazing results already!
i bought this on the 8th of june and it was delivered by the 14th. I have been having dark spots in my inner thighs for awhile and have been so so insecure about it. I have used this everyday on my inner thighs (even tho it’s made for facial use) and let me tell you it has made my dark spot SIGNIFICANTLY lighter. i use this everyday and i have seen killer results! definitely will recommend, and the price is great!
