Evens skin tone3 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“This uniquely formulated lotion contains a variety of highly specialised ingredients helping to improve the appearance of an uneven skin tone and visible sun damage leaving the skin looking brighter and more evenly toned.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: alpha-arbutin, niacinamide, undecylenoyl phenylalanine
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.
Anti-aging2 ingredients credited for this claimStrong support
“Combatting the appearance of uneven and sun damaged skin, this unique lotion leaves skin looking youthful and brighter.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
