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.

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.

You’ll start to notice a difference in four weeks, but 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 patients with discoloration is: Be Consistent! You need to maintain a skincare routine that targets multiple points in the pigment production pathway, 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.

So, why did we leave it out? Everyone's tolerance for retinol is different, and Dr. Shereene Idriss believes retinol needs to be titrated to meet your skin’s unique needs, both in terms of the formula concentration (% of retinol) and the frequency of use.

Yes. The products are not designed to treat rosacea, but they contain ingredients that help to improve uneven skin tone and decrease redness.

Yes! All skin types benefit from a brighter, more even-toned complexion.
