The Ordinary The Bright Set vs Dermalogica Clear and Brighten Kit

Buy The Ordinary Bright Set if uneven tone, dark spots and dullness are your main concern and you want full sizes of three proven actives. Buy the Dermalogica Clear and Brighten Kit if breakouts are the problem and you want a compact trial routine. The Ordinary gives you more product and a simpler, fragrance-free formula list; Dermalogica adds salicylic acid and niacinamide for acne and comes in travel sizes. Owners rate The Ordinary set well but note the toner can sting sensitive skin, while Dermalogica's kit is small and better as a test than a long-term routine.

• Choose The Ordinary Bright Set if you want to fade dark spots and even out tone with full-size glycolic acid, alpha arbutin and caffeine eye serum.
• Choose the Dermalogica Clear and Brighten Kit if breakouts are your main issue and you want a small trial set with salicylic acid and niacinamide.
