Dr. Idriss At a Glance

Why I Picked These

Dr Idriss sent me two boxes back to back. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know anything about this brand before these showed up. So I’m getting to know them right along with you.

The Major Fade box was an easy yes because I’m really working on my dark spots right now. I grabbed the redness box with Alex in mind, so he’ll be the one testing the Reducer Serum.

The first thing I noticed when I opened them was the color. The redness line comes in green and the Major Fade line comes in purple. The packaging overall is so pretty.

How to Use the Dr Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask

The Major Fade Flash Mask is probably the one I’ll try first, since dark spots are my focus. It comes in a purple plastic tube and you just squirt it out.

Dr. Idriss says to use it up to three nights a week on clean, dry skin. You put on a thin layer, avoid your eyes, leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse. If you have sensitive skin, the brand says to start at 5 minutes and work up from there.

Major Fade Hyper Serum

The Major Fade Hyper Serum is a pen, and it comes with a refill. I really like that. A lot of brands don’t do refills.

You twist the pen to turn it on, and each click gives you one pump. The brand says to use 2 to 4 pumps morning and night, then follow with Active Seal.

Major Fade Active Seal Moisturizer

The Major Fade Active Seal is a vitamin C gel moisturizer. You press it down to get it out, and you can mix it with your serum if you want.

It’s the third piece of the Major Fade routine. So with the mask, the serum and Active Seal, they really did send me all three steps.

Left Un-Red Reducer Serum

The Left Un-Red Reducer Serum is accepted by the National Rosacea Society. It’s a redness relief serum, and like the Hyper Serum, it comes with a refill. You just swap the new cartridge into the pen.

Since there’s a refill in the box, I’m guessing that adds real value for the price. This is the one Alex is going to try.

Left Un-Red CalmBack Cream

The Left Un-Red CalmBack Cream is a soothing comfort cream. It does that thing where you press down and the cream blooms up into a little bowl. The first time I saw this was with Beekman 1802. You can add your other serums into the bowl and swirl them together, so you can basically make your own skincare cocktail.

I wondered if I was missing a product from the redness line. It turns out Left Un-Red is just these two pieces, the serum and this cream, and the brand sells them together as a duo.

What I’m Watching For

This brand is new to me, so I really don’t know yet how any of it will work on my skin. I’m doing skincare every night right now and I have a couple bottles I’m trying to finish first. As soon as those are empty, I’ll move into these, starting with the Major Fade line for my dark spots.

I’ll update this post with a full review once I’ve actually used them. Stay tuned.
