Uneven skin tone, sun spots, and mild discoloration are among the most common skin concerns we treat. While drugstore “brightening” products often fall short, the Even Tone Essentials Bundle delivers clinically proven results with medical-grade ingredients that gently but effectively reduce visible pigmentation.
This carefully curated regimen helps restore balance, smooth texture, and protect skin—so you can achieve a brighter, more even complexion with confidence.

Alto Defense
Potent antioxidant serum to fight free radical damage that worsens pigment.
Wrinkle + Texture Repair
Retinol-based formula to smooth and refine skin texture.
Pigment Control Crème
Targets mild pigmentation for more uniform skin tone.
HydraTint Pro Mineral SPF 30

“Mild hyperpigmentation is often a combination of UV damage, oxidative stress, and uneven cell turnover. This bundle addresses each cause with a multi-layered approach—antioxidants to prevent damage, retinol to renew skin, pigment correctors to fade discoloration, and SPF to prevent recurrence.”

RN BSN
Jennie has been a nurse for 24 years and has been an aesthetic nurse injector since 2019. Before finding her passion as a Nurse Injector, Jennie specialized in emergency medicine; where she developed her deep values regarding safety and patient education as well as her keen eye for detail. A few of the reasons Jennie chose nursing as her career; was first, above all, to help others with both their physical and mental well being. She also was intrigued with all of the sub-specialties the profession had to offer. Although emergency nursing has given Jennie the opportunity to help many patients, sharpened many of her technical skills, given her a steady hand, a calming nature and given her unsurpassed assessment and organizational skills; she had forgotten about her intrigue for the different ways people can be helped.
As Jennie herself has gotten older and more mature, she has realized that one’s self esteem is often held in the way they view themselves. An enriched sense of self esteem tends to positively affect all aspects of life. This is what drew Jennie to another specialty within the medical field, her interest and passion for aesthetics. Jennie was trained by Jessica Jurkovic an expert and natural in the field. Jennie is very excited to continue and grow her love for helping people in her new field. Jennie is committed to aging gracefully, bringing a positive outlook to all aspects of life by combining beauty, health and fitness to achieve a positive mental and physical well-being. She looks forward to helping others along this journey with her.
