If you have specific blemishes you want to target with a dark spot corrector, reach for the Dr. Barbara Sturm Clarifying Spot Treatment. Formulated with acne-prone skin in mind, this spot treatment helps not only fade dark spots caused by acne blemishes but also helps prevent breakouts from turning into dark spots, too. These insights have made No7 the leader in the anti-ageing category with products that are clinically proven, and inspire women to look and feel their very best.

Since this product includes retinol, which makes the skin more sensitive to the sun, it’s best to apply this at night versus the morning (and be sure to use SPF!). This neutralizing effect and the cooling massaging applicator instantly improves dark circle appearance.Excessive sun exposure – this is the main cause of hyperpigmentation, as sunlight triggers the skin to produce melanin.

It evens skin tone, reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles and makes skin feel firmer Board-certified dermatologist Azadeh Shirazi recommends products with azelaic acid, which is an exfoliant known to banish breakouts, reduce inflammation, and even out the skin tone—all while being less harsh than hydroquinone. “Azelaic acid inhibits tyrosinase and prevents pigmentation, but it’s much more gentle,” she explains. If you’re interested in the ingredient, try out the PCA SKIN Hydroquinone-Free Pigment Gel Face Serum, which contains azelaic acid. Retinol As a refresher, vitamin C is high on the list of potent antioxidants, and, fun fact, it’s also a primary replenisher of vitamin E, making it a super powerful competitor against the effects of oxidative stress, like overexposure to solar radiation. Notably, it’s an A+ addition to any formula aiming to target acne scars since it increases collagen production, a protein necessary for rebuilding the skin barrier, healing it and making it stronger in the process. Throughout the three-month testing period, we also noted the fading process and how well the formulas worked at fading dark spots altogether, as well as condsidered how the correcting formulas impacted our skin’s texture and glow.

No7 Lift & Luminate Eye Cream visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. After just four weeks, skin around the eye will appear tighter and brighter, more toned and radiant looking As a bonus, we barely used any product to see these results because we only needed to apply a small drop of the serum to see it spread evenly across our problem areas. Generally speaking, most dark spot correctors on our list are formulated with all skin types in mind. However, if you have sensitive skin, it’s important to pay close attention to certain formulas — like the Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Retinol + Vitamin C Dark Spot Corrector, which has retinol — as it may include ingredients that cause irritation. What We Don’t Love: It takes a longer time to see results compared to other treatments we’ve tried. What We Love: We loved that it gave our skin an instant brightness, but we were most impressed with our bouncy, plump skin at the end of the testing period.
