Product Information

Additionally, willow bark, vitamin C, and licorice root all contributed to our brighter skin, and, over time, we noticed an increased firmness to our complexions, which we didn’t expect, but we’ll definitely take. What We Love: The formula balances retinol with an impressive amount of hydrating ingredients so we can reap the benefits of the all-star exfoliator while enjoying the moisture-replenishing advantages of hyaluronic acid. Using a vitamin C serum is one of the best ways to fade dark spots, and this option from Skinceuticals' is one of Russo's favorite. It contains L-ascorbic acid (one of the most stable, well-studied forms of vitamin C) and vitamin E and ferulic acid, which boosts the efficacy of the vitamin C. And very cool fact: The formula stays active for 72 hours after you dab it on, even after washing your face.

We knew it was a winner from the start when the witch hazel and lactic acid immediately made our complexions appear more radiant and firm, and, since lactic acid is a much milder exfoliator (it’s even safe enough to treat the symptoms of rosacea), it didn’t cause our sensitive skin to react. Instead, these antioxidants helped maintain moisture and worked alongside the other mild alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like kojic acid to turn over dead cells while replenishing our skin with hydration, leaving it softer and smoother.

Overall, we think that Neutrogena is an affordable brand, but there are definitely better options out there. Some Neutrogena products are better than others, and we recommend avoiding the products with synthetic fragrance ingredients and parabens. Pros As a hydrating serum that can easily be found at the drugstore, the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Serum proves that you can in fact find efficacious serums on a budget. This serum was designed to add a hydrating and plumping boost to your existing skincare routine, before finishing off with moisturizer. The key ingredient within this formula is purified hyaluronic acid, which has been shown to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid draws water from the air into your skin, relieving dryness and dehydration instantly. It’s also worth noting that this product is completely oil-free, making it an excellent option for those with reactive skin types, or those who are prone to clog pores or fungal acne. Depending on your skin type, environment and climate, you may find that this product offers enough hydration on its own, but for those with dry skin, we recommend using this product in tandem with your favorite moisturizer to seal in all of this hydration and nourishment.

The “SA” in retinol SA stands for “sustained action.” The company claims that retinol SA is distinct from retinol because of its ability to penetrate the skin and continue to work for 12 hours after its application to reduce skin discoloration and fight the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.Truthfully, the only time we experienced discomfort was when we accidentally layered the serum across broken skin, so we learned to keep it away from any fresh cuts and only use it as a spot treatment on problem areas.

We won’t lie: It takes an aggressive approach to get rid of dark spots,often requiring expensive treatments and sometimes even multiple rounds of these treatments, so you can imagine our delight when this drugstore formula delivered exceptional results. Seriously, we noticed a reduction in our redness and hyperpigmentation soon after application, and an instant brightening effect that made our skin look like it was bathed in the soft lighting of an intimate dinner party.

Olay’s spot fading treatment works thanks to the power of niacinamide (vitamin B3), Undecylenoyl phenylalanine, and glycerin to remove dark spots and uneven patches of discoloration while also hydrating and fortifying the skin barrier.You will see increased clarity and more radiant skin in just one week, and see diminished signs of dark spots, discoloration and blotchiness over time. Manhattan-based board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Macrene Alexiades suggests looking for products that, “are working at the root of the matter” to repair the skin and avoid damage that causes brown spots and vulnerability, such as amino acids like glucosamine, aspartic acid, arginine, and citric acid. “Those are gentle and they're safe,” she says, adding that next you can seek out nourishing antioxidants, like a high dose of ferulic acid and vitamins C and E, that will repair the discolored damage without irritating the skin.

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.Meanwhile, some research suggests that this formula’s use of advanced bioflavonoids (plant-derived compounds) could be an advantageous approach to preventing cell deterioration that ages skin. Glycolic acid is one of the best AHAs for fading dark spots and discoloration,” says Dr. Marchbein. Why? Because glycolic acid helps dissolve the glue that holds dead skin cells together, resulting in an overall brighter, clearer skin tone. And it also happens to be the main active in La Roche-Posay's dark-spot-correcting serum right here. And while this serum's primary function is to improve skin tone, it's a great for smoothing rough or uneven skin texture too. One reviewer even had to go to urgent care due to her reaction to Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. The review says, “I ended up with the equivalent of an unwanted chemical peel on my eyelids. Within 45 minutes, I had swelling, burning, and looked like I’d been in a fight. I spent time at my urgent care, was given medication and when the swelling subsided, my skin peeled. I thought Neutrogena was supposed to be gentle, but this was a painful, ugly nightmare.”
