Evens skin toneIsobutylamido thiazolyl resorcinol, Paeonia lactiflora root extract + 1 moreStrong evidence
“A nourishing face cream clinically proven to visibly reduce the look of dark spots by 72%* while delivering deep hydration for brighter, smoother, more luminous skin.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: isobutylamido thiazolyl resorcinol.
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: paeonia lactiflora root extract.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
MoisturizingBiosaccharide gum-1, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 20 moreGood evidence
“A nourishing face cream clinically proven to visibly reduce the look of dark spots by 72%* while delivering deep hydration for brighter, smoother, more luminous skin.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, dimethicone.
Anti-agingButyrospermum parkii butter, Nicotiana sylvestris leaf cell culture + 1 moreLimited evidence
“Designed as a complete approach to brightening and clarity, this advanced formula goes beyond dark spot correction to visibly even skin tone, smooth texture, refine the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and boost hydration for multidimensional radiance.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients - butyrospermum parkii butter, nicotiana sylvestris leaf cell culture - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
