Best brightening facials in Singapore for healthy, glowy skin (2024)

Glowy, brightened skin is often indicative of a healthy and hydrated body, with skin smooth enough to reflect light — and this is completely achievable with the right brightening facial.

Read on to find out how the best brightening facials work and choose the one that matches your aesthetic goals the best.

Milk peel

As its name suggests, a Milk Peel Facial is designed to give you milk-like fair skin. 

SkinLab’s Pure Milk Facial is a 90-minute treatment that involves a lactic acid peel, one of the gentlest alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), to remove dead skin cells and reveal refreshed, bright and supple skin. Lactic acid is also a humectant, which functions by drawing moisture into the skin and inhibiting pigment formation. 

Its key benefits include: 

Increases skin luminosity 

• Removes dead skin cells
• Moisturises the skin
• Minimises pores
• Regulates sebum production
• Refines skin texture

The pure milk peel facial is an ideal treatment option for those with sensitive skin, and skin conditions such as eczema and rosacea. It can also be used by pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. 

Vitamin C infusion

Vitamin C is a tried and true active ingredient to help revitalise skin, with its antioxidant properties and ability to inhibit melanin production, which is the pigment responsible for skin colouration. This makes it the perfect ingredient for brightening, reducing dark spots and reversing hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage. 

SkinLab’s Vitamin C Infusion Facial is a 90-minute treatment that utilises medical-grade vitamin C to brighten and rejuvenate the skin. Its key benefits include: 

• Increases skin luminosity 
• Neutralises free radicals 
• Slows ageing
• Fades dark spots 
• Boosts collagen production
• Lightens pigmentation 
• Heals damaged skin 
• Prevents future skin inflammation 
• Deeply hydrates

In addition to being a powerful whitening facial, the Vitamin C Infusion Facial’s antioxidant properties help slow ageing by protecting the skin from free radicals. This, in turn, prevents the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Diamond peel

SkinLab’s Diamond Peel Facial is a 90-minute technology-based microdermabrasion treatment that uses a diamond-tipped handpiece to gently exfoliate the surface of the skin, while removing dirt and debris. At the same time, the handpiece’s suction function applies a mild suction to eject the skin’s sebaceous contents and vacuums the dirt away. As the wand is moved over the skin, “new” and refreshed skin underneath is revealed.

In some cases, this is followed by an ampoule application for optimal results, which is easily absorbed after the gentle exfoliation process. Its key benefits include:

• Improves complexion
• Smoothens skin texture
• Tightens skin
• Increases skin radiance
• Minimises pores
• Regulates sebum production
• Reduces acne and acne scarring

This minimally-invasive treatment has no downtime, and is an ideal option for those who not only want luminous and brighter skin, but smoothened skin texture as well. 

Gold facial

Gold is a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredient that can help lower skin inflammation, reduce redness and protect the skin from free radicals that cause wrinkles and fine lines. It is also a useful whitening facial and brightening solution, reducing the levels of melanin on your skin. 

SkinLab’s Gold Facial is a 120-minute facial that starts with a mandelic peel and ends with a gold mask to brighten, moisturise and firm the skin. Its key benefits include:

• Brightens skin
• Encourages collagen and elastin production
• Protects the skin from free radicals
• Prevents fine lines and wrinkles
• Deeply hydrates
• Lightens dark spots

A gold facial is an ideal option for those who want brighter skin and aim to tackle early signs of ageing. With its anti-inflammatory properties, gold is a great ingredient for skin concerns such as puffiness, redness and dark eye circles. 

Peptide peel

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are integral to protein-synthesis of the skin, just like collagen and elastin. SkinLab’s Peptide Peel Facial is specially formulated with a unique combination of 6 different acids, poly hydroxy acids and alpha hydroxy acids, that work together to brighten the skin, encourage cell renewal and limit melanin production. This comprehensive system includes:

• Phytic acid
• Mandelic acid
• Tranexamic acid
• Gluconolactone
• Lactobionic acid
• Sodium lactate

This minimally invasive treatment lasts 90 minutes and is suitable for most skin types. Its key benefits include:

• Brightens skin
• Rebalances the skin’s natural pH levels
• Reduces skin congestion
• Whitens and lightens
• Balances moisture in the skin
• Reduces dark spots and hyperpigmentation
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Deeply hydrates

Peptide peels are safe for most skin types, and are most recommended for those who want to reduce dark spots and unwanted pigmentation. It also helps brighten dull skin and lower inflammation, making it a good option for those who want a gradual approach to getting refreshed skin.
