Major Fade Solution System™

Major Fade is for any form of uneven skin tone: discoloration, hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory redness, or the pigmentation left behind by chronic inflammation like acne or even eczema.

Major Fade products were created with all skin types in mind. On oily skin, they are lightweight enough to not feel overbearing. On dry skin, they absorb easily and leave your skin feeling buttery soft for hours. If you have extra-dry skin or live in a dry climate, you can apply a rich basic moisturizer (no active ingredients!) after Major Fade Active Seal.

Yes, but introduce one product at a time and patch test each product before you apply it fully. Be cautious with Major Fade Flash Mask, which contains exfoliating acids and may cause sensitivity for some people.

All the products work individually to improve discoloration. For the best results, use them together because they're designed to work synergistically. Major Fade Hyper Serum has the most potent level of skin-brightening actives.

Give it a real runway. Expect a first difference around 4 weeks and the most visible results at 6 to 8 weeks of consistent use. As your skin improves, keep going: with discoloration, consistency is the whole game.

Three steps for the look of discoloration: Flash Mask up to three nights a week, then Hyper Serum, then Active Seal. On other days it's just Hyper Serum then Active Seal, morning and night, with sunscreen every morning.

Yes, with a little choreography. Use your retinoid on non-Flash-Mask nights, after Active Seal if you're sensitive, and skip other acid exfoliants entirely while you're on the system.

No. To treat melasma, the use of RX hydroquinone under the supervision of your doctor is required. The Major Fade Solution System is a cosmetic, not a drug. That said, the Solution System has been clinically tested to improve skin tone, and Dr. Shereene Idriss recommends it to patients who want to improve all types of discoloration.

The Major Fade Solution System helps to improve all types of discoloration, including post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (the areas of discoloration that remain after pimples have healed), which can contribute to the overall look of acne scarring. While it has ingredients that help to improve skin texture, it is not formulated to treat the pitting and textural changes caused by acne.

You didn't do anything wrong; your skin just wants a slower on-ramp. Introduce one product at a time over a couple of weeks rather than all three at once, ease into Flash Mask at once a week, and use one pump of Active Seal under sunscreen. If irritation persists, stop and email hello@dridriss.com.
