Brilliant Tone by GlyMed+ is a powerful, corrective serum specially formulated to target advanced pigmentation, including melasma, sun damage, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This serum combines potent tyrosinase inhibitors like kojic acid, arbutin, and bearberry to regulate melanin production, along with soothing niacinamide and licorice root to reduce inflammation. The addition of vitamin C and lactic acid ensures the skin receives the ultimate brightening and rejuvenating treatment, leaving it visibly clearer, more even, and glowing with radiance.

  • Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: Vitamin C and lactic acid help brighten the skin, improving overall skin tone and texture.

Kojic Acid: Acts as a potent tyrosinase inhibitor, exfoliates the skin, and reduces dark spots, promoting a more even complexion.

Hale Derma Pre & Post-care Spray
CA$45.00

Not all skin sprays are created for the same purpose.

This formula is classified as a Class II medical device, meaning it is regulated for use on skin that is vulnerable, sensitized, or recovering. Unlike cosmetic facial mists that are designed to refresh or hydrate, this type of solution is intended to support the skin during its healing phase.

Who it’s for? 

Recommended for compromised, sensitive, or post-treated skin, including after procedures like microneedling or peels. Ideal for those experiencing irritation, breakouts, or barrier disruption, as well as skin prone to conditions like Eczema or Psoriasis. As well as minor cuts, superficial wounds, and post-procedure skin (once cleared by your provider). Designed to support and calm the skin when it’s vulnerable—not just for everyday refreshing.

Why it’s different

While some products may appear similar based on ingredient lists, performance depends on far more than what’s listed on the label.

This formula is:

  • Developed for use on compromised or post-procedure skin

  • Produced under stricter regulatory and manufacturing standards

  • Designed for consistency, stability, and skin tolerance

  • Focused on supporting skin recovery—not just surface-level soothing

When to use

  • After professional treatments

  • During periods of irritation or sensitivity

  • When your skin barrier feels compromised

  • As part of a guided post-treatment routine

All-natural, fragrance-free hale derma pre & post-care spray cleans patients’ skin and prevents dehydration before treatment. Following treatment, it moisturizes, promotes healing and reduces the risk of infection and breakouts.

When produced outside the body HOCl is an electrolyzed solution that inactivates pathogens. HOCl is a natural part of our internal defense system, produced by white blood cells.

Q: Is this the same as other hypochlorous sprays?

A: While some products may share similar base ingredients, they are not all developed or classified for the same use. This formula is designed for compromised skin and regulated accordingly, which impacts how it is produced and used.

how to use

  • Activate. Develop. Set. Dispense onto fingertips and rub gently to release and activate encapsulated pigments. As the shade begins to develop from white to your shade, apply to moisturized face and continue to blend for even coverage. Watch as it adjusts to your skin to immediately blur imperfections and even skin tone. The shade is fully developed when product is no longer white. Allow 1-2 minutes for shade to adjust completely. Set with one of our Total Protection brush-on sunscreens or follow with foundation for full-color coverage.

  • Pro Tip: Layer underneath your foundation for fuller color coverage or use with Face Shield Glow or Face Shield Bronze to enhance your look.

  • One and Done: Evenly apply one layer to entire face, including under eyes for a look that’s naturally you and powerfully protected.

  • The Foundation Replacer: Build your coverage to your ideal level of flawless perfection. After applying your first layer, wait 1 minute before applying another layer.

    • If you find yourself between two shades, feel free to mix and match any Face Shield products to create your ideal shade match. All Face Shields contain the same great all-mineral SPF 50 protection so you'll never have to compromise protection for color.
