Major Fade Active Seal Moisturizer was created with all skin types in mind! Active Seal has a refreshing gel-cream texture that absorbs quickly and provides balanced hydration for all skin types. On oily skin, it is lightweight enough to not feel overbearing. On dry skin, it hydrates and supports the skin's barrier. If you have extra-dry skin or live in a dry climate, be sure to pair a hydrating serum like Major Fade Hyper Serum under Active Seal and boost moisture with a layer of Major Fade Disco Block SPF 50 in the AM.

All the Major Fade 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. To best maintain an even complexion, your skincare routine should target discoloration in multiple steps to address all the stages of discoloration.

With consistent use of the Major Fade Solution System, expect to see most results—including improvement in skin tone, faded discoloration, and fewer dark spots—in six to eight weeks. As your skin improves, continue to use the products. Dr. Shereene Idriss’s #1 rule for those with discoloration is: Be Consistent! To maintain an even complexion, your skincare routine should target discoloration even when you’re not flaring up.

Absolutely! A retinoid can boost the effects of the Major Fade Solution System and up your skin game. If you use a retinoid while using products from the Major Fade Solution System, we recommend applying it on the nights that you are not using Major Fade Flash Mask (or another exfoliating product). If you have sensitive skin, apply your retinoid after Major Fade Active Seal, which acts as a buffer. If you don’t have sensitive skin, you can apply the retinoid before or after Major Fade Hyper Serum. When using a retinoid, be sure to protect your skin daily with a broad spectrum sunscreen like Major Fade Disco Block SPF 50.

Active Seal is designed to be your Vitamin C and moisturizer step all in one! Major Fade Active Seal contains a Vitamin C ester (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate) that's more stable than the pure form of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). THD is gentler than traditional Vitamin C and suitable for all skin types. Active Seal contains Vitamin C, 4-Butylresorcinol, Glutathione and more to defend against the daily oxidative stress that leads to discoloration. Apply AM and PM for best results.

From time to time, we will find ways to improve aspects of the formula or packaging experience. In Active Seal saw an opportunity to add glutathione for added brightening supporting benefits and to update the texture experience. We took the same Active Seal you know and love and took it to the next level. We know you will love it even more!

Yes! All skin types benefit from a brighter, more even-toned complexion. Major Fade Active Seal Moisturizer brightens and provides antioxidant defense against the daily oxidative stress that leads to future discoloration. Active Seal also provides balanced hydration and supports the skin barrier to help maintain healthy skin. If you'd like to tell us more about your skin and your current routine, we're happy to suggest how to include the Major Fade Active Seal.

At Dr. Idriss, we're always bringing you smarter science as it emerges. The research on glutathione caught our attention. It’s a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent dark spots from forming and amplifies vitamin C's brightening power, and we knew it belonged in Active Seal.

What's changed:
- Glutathione boosts vitamin C performance for stronger brightening
- Improved gel-cream texture absorbs faster, layers more smoothly
- Better hydration across all skin types

Use it exactly as you always have: AM + PM after serums, before SPF.
