Works for
Evens skin toneNiacinamide, Arbutin + 2 moreWorks well
“Tones and brightens Vitamin C from cherry extracts helps to fade age spots and sun damage for illuminated skin Evens out skin tone Results in 20 minutes Dermatologist-tested Allergy-tested Formulated without artificial fragrances, artificial dyes, parabens or sulfates”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
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: arbutin, glycyrrhiza glabra 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.
Anti-agingNiacinamide, Aloe barbadensis leaf juiceWorks well
“It helps to improve the look of aging skin and helps brighten and even out skin tone, while providing your skin with soothing and skin-restoring benefits.”
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.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Niacinamide, Sodium hyaluronate + 5 moreWorks well
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": sodium hyaluronate, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
Anti-blemishSide benefit · Niacinamide, Aloe barbadensis leaf juiceMay help
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains niacinamide.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Arbutin, Malpighia glabra fruit extract + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (arbutin) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
