Achieving a radiant, even-toned complexion is one of those things that requires a little bit of legwork. It means shielding your skin from the sun’s damaging UV rays with daily SPF, and sticking to a consistent skincare routine that brightens and perfects. Packed with clinically proven ingredients and precious diamonds that work overtime for your complexion, KNESKO’s Diamond Radiance Serum is a must-have for anyone who wants to kick dull, uneven skin to the curb. Here’s why this powerful-but-gentle serum is our best skin brightening treatment.
1. Features a Dual-Action Approach to Brightening
KNESKO’s Diamond Serum takes a two-pronged approach: by targeting existing discoloration while preventing future spots and uneven tone."Our Diamond Radiance Serum is a very powerful, clinically-driven formula," says Sydney Eger, esthetician and director of education for KNESKO. This makes it a must-have for those looking to fade dark spots and keep their skin tone luminous and even.
2. Delivers a Time-Released Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a holy grail ingredient for brightening skin and is a true antioxidant hero that wards off free radical damage. That said, not all forms of vitamin C are created equal.
"We use Ascorbyl Glucoside because it releases gradually throughout the day and night, minimizing irritation and increasing efficacy," Eger explains. "Plus, it’s more stable than Ascorbic Acid, which can oxidize quickly. This version also outperforms other vitamin C derivatives in protecting against UV damage." Translation? Your skin gets all the brightening benefits of vitamin C without the risk of oxidation, irritation or subpar work.

3. Uses Gentle (but Powerful!) Brightening Ingredients
For as powerful as the Diamond Radiance Serum is, it’s also supremely kind to your skin. That’s because it harnesses the power of bakuchiol—a plant-based ingredient that’s considered an alternative to retinoids—along with arbutin, a gentler and safer alternative to hydroquinone.
Retinol is known for causing irritation, redness, peeling, and even breakouts, but bakuchiol delivers the same brightening, anti-aging benefits without the ouch. Eger explains, "Bakuchiol is a gentle yet powerful ingredient that helps increase cell turnover to clarify, smooth, and brighten skin. It’s perfect for those who want the benefits of retinol but with a gentler touch."
She adds that arbutin acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor, meaning it’s been shown to suppress melanin production so brightening ingredients can work even better. says Eger. It’s the ideal ingredient combination for those looking for an effective but skin-friendly dark spot treatment.
4. Prevents the Look of Dark Spots from Returning
Tranexamic acid has risen in the ranks as one of the most popular ingredients in skincare, and is particularly beneficial in brightening treatments. "When we have a dark spot, our skin is overproducing melanin in that area," explains Eger. "Tranexamic Acid helps suppress that activity, making brighteners like vitamin C even more effective." This means that instead of just visibly lightening discoloration temporarily, our Diamond Radiance Serum actively prevents the look of dark spots from returning when it’s used consistently.

5. Conditions and Protects While Brightening
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a well-researched powerhouse ingredient that does it all. It visibly brightens, protects via its antioxidant prowess, helps support ceramide production, and can help regulate sebum production. "Niacinamide is one of the most proven ingredients for brightening while also conditioning the skin," Eger notes. With continued use, it helps create a soft, healthy, and more refined appearance.

How to Use the Diamond Radiance Serum
After washing your skin both morning and night, gently pat dry and then apply a dropper full to your skin. Finish with your preferred moisturizer. Once or twice a week, pair with a collagen face mask to enhance your results.
Remember: The key to bright, even skin is consistency. "If you already have clear and even skin, then daily use of Diamond Serum with SPF is a great plan to maintain your results. If you struggle with dark spots, this powerhouse product can help you reach your skin goals as part of a daily brightening routine,” Eger says.
With a clinical yet holistic approach to brightening, KNESKO’s Diamond Serum stands out as a true rock star.
