Italian term or phrase: trattamento gommage schiarente
From instructions on a bottle of skin cream:
"Grazie al meraviglioso** trattamento gommage schiarente** potrai accendere di intensa luminosità il tuo viso."

I understand that "gommage" is exfoliation - it's the use of "schiarente" that I'm unsure about.

TIA!

think "schiarente" means "anti-macchie" that is the cream covers spots on face...
