Works for
Evens skin toneUndecylenoyl phenylalanine, Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitateWorks well
“Improve the appearance of skin tone with SVR Clairial Hyperpigmentation Serum , an anti-brown spot corrector that helps lighten the appearance of pigmentation.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: 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.
MoisturizingCaprylic/capric triglyceride, Dimethicone + 10 moreWorks
“Contains an 8% Depigmenting Complex to help alleviate the severity of dark spots, and 2% stabilized Vitamin C to improve radiance and even out the complexion. The ultra-fine, white texture is infused with liquid crystals and high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid for extra moisture, plus soft focus Bio-Snow to blur the appearance of imperfections.”
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:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.
