The Story Behind the Formula
From the Clinic to Your Home
Dr. P. Alexander Ataii built Ataii Aesthetic MD on a single premise: the same clinical-grade formulas that deliver results in his San Diego med spa should be accessible to everyone: not just those who can afford in-clinic treatments.
His father was a pioneering pharmacist and chemist who developed regenerative skincare formulas in the 1960s, work that earned international recognition and helped a Hollywood actress restore her complexion. Dr. Ataii refined and modernized that legacy through two decades of clinical practice.
This Brightening Moisturizer is the day and night cream Dr. Ataii reaches for at Laser Clinique San Diego for patients who want to address visible signs of aging while brightening dull, uneven tone, a hydrating formula his patients take home to keep their skin smooth, radiant, and resilient.

Get The Most From It
Brightening Protocol
A simple protocol to brighten, smooth, and even your tone over the weeks ahead.
1
Week 1
Start once daily, PM
Introduce slowly on clean skin so it adjusts comfortably.
2
Weeks 2 to 4
Build to AM & PM
Apply morning and night, always finishing AM with SPF.
3
Day & Night

4
Long-Term
Use consistently 8+ weeks
Brightening is cumulative, the most even tone builds over time.
Pro tip from Dr. Ataii:Daily SPF is non-negotiable. Without sun protection, dullness and uneven tone return faster than any cream can brighten them.
