Dermamaison Vitabenone Brightening Capture Serum with Niacinamide 100ml | Pro Backbar

Does a brightening serum need one hero? We don’t think so.

Most practitioners look for a single brightening ingredient. This formula spreads it: niacinamide and sodium ascorbyl phosphate for tone, hydroxydecyl ubiquinone, a run of B vitamins and beta-carotene, with hyaluronic acid forms and gardenia fruit extract. We would use it as a brightening-look finishing serum for skin that looks dull.

Reading the formula

Tone-focused. Niacinamide and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate are listed for skin that looks uneven and dull.

Vitamin set. The B vitamins and Beta-Carotene sit near the end of the list. We mention them as listed.

Hydration. Glycerin, Betaine, Trehalose, Panthenol and the hyaluronic acid forms give a comfortable, plump-looking feel.

Plant side. Gardenia, Poria Cocos and Phragmites extracts are listed. Fragrance is also listed, so patch test sensitive clients.

Which clients

Closest fit, in her own words:

• “My skin looks dull and uneven.”
• “I want a finishing serum that leaves skin looking fresher.”

Less suited: clients who avoid fragrance, reactive or irritated skin, and clients straight after a procedure. For that last group, follow your own aftercare protocol.

In the treatment room

• Storage: keep the bottle closed, away from direct sunlight and heat, and follow the storage line on the pack.
• Opening date: write it on the bottle when you open it.
• Patch test: test on a small area and wait 24 hours before a full-face first use.
• Backbar handling: decant into a clean, labelled pump bottle for daily use and keep the main bottle closed.

Choose the treatment your clients need, not the ingredient. A client who feels dry does not need “brightening”. She needs a finishing serum that leaves her skin looking fresher, and a reason to book the next visit. Build a named finishing step into your facial and the rebooking follows.
