However, Dr. Alexiades, says that everyone, but especially darker skin tones and those with sensitive skin, should proceed with caution for products that contain hydroquinone, retinol, and glycolic acid, as they’re not easily tolerated. “If you're going to use glycolic acid or retinol, be aware, it's very irritating,” says Dr. Alexiades Even more surprising, “40 percent of adult women don't tolerate retinoids or glycolic acids,” adds Dr. Alexiades. “If you overuse them, your skin gets thin and it will make the skin weaker.” Barley contains azelaic acid, an ingredient often found in many anti-dark spot serums because of its ability to stop tyrosinase activity. Rice has been shown to “down-regulate melanin synthesis” in animal studies. Furthermore, this serum allows for exfoliation with its inclusion of salicylic acid. Rice has also exhibited anti-melanogenic effects, essentially curbing melanin production to reduce the formation of dark spots and treat existing ones. Birch contains salicylic acid, an exfoliant that can encourage cell turnover. Wheat contains hydroquinone, a potent anti-pigmenting agent present in many dark spot reducing creams and available via prescription as well. While it’s not our favorite ingredient because it can be potentially dangerous, Murad Rapid Age Spot And Pigment Lightening Serum
contains 2% hydroquinone, the highest percentage available without a prescription. Hydroquinone is a very effective skin lightening agent that can remove dark spots, even skin tone, and lighten age spots. This formulation also contains vitamin C and glycolic acid, two of the top ingredients on our spot-correcting ingredient list. What We Love: Unlike a traditional drop applicator, the Hero Cosmetics wand used a metal ball applicator that allowed us to apply the antioxidant-rich serum close to the creases of our under eyes without worrying about irritation

Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Retinol + Vitamin C Correcting Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Retinol + Vitamin C Correcting

Retinol is another exfoliating ingredient — and perhaps one of the most celebrated skincare ingredients for targeting the signs of age. Retinol causes the skin cells to turn over, which begins the process of removing the pigmented cells. As dark spots are sloughed away, your skin replaces them with normally pigmented cells.

Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Dark Spot Corrector with Retinol

As it turns out, research shows that azelaic acid works just as well in controlling acne, if not better, than tretinoin, and it’s less abusive, meaning not only were we experiencing fewer breakouts, but our skin was less aggravated, too. Also, silybum marianum fruit, a plant-based extract that mitigates oil production, also helped inhibit new pimples from emerging, contributing to our renewed, refreshed complexions.Oma Agbai, MD, board-certified dermatologist and Health Sciences Clinical Professor at the University of California, Davis Medical Center Rave Review:"Seriously, if you struggle with bikini line irritation after shaving, buy this stuff for real.

Exfoliators like glycolic acid and salicylic acid work hard to “unglue” the skin cells that bind together and cause dullness. Once those offending cells are sloughed away, radiant, glowing, and even-toned skin can emerge. When it comes to how the best dark spot correctors work, it all comes down to ingredients. Thank nature (and science!) for all of the ingredients available to halt or inhibit tyrosinase. Since the following help fade dark spots in different ways, they are incredibly effective when combined. The good news is that dark spot correctors work if you’re willing to put in the time. We can’t say this enough: Similar to laser hair removal or red light therapy, these treatments require patience and consistency, and it may be anywhere from four to eight before noticing significant changes in your skin, according to our experts. Peony extract also works with vitamin C to enhance the skin’s brightening effect. In clinical studies, topically applied peony extract has also exhibited skin lightening properties.

Neutrogena dark spot corrector contains two powerful ingredients: ascorbyl glucoside and retinol. Ascorbyl glucoside is a stable form of vitamin C that has been combined with glucose. When applied to the skin, ascorbyl glucoside converts to L-ascorbic acid — a more stable delivery process than just using L-ascorbic acid on its own. Our little dose of sunshine had some assistance from ferulic acid, a powerful antioxidant found in plants known for fighting free radical damage that leads to acneic skin and for healing acne wounds. Yet, even when we did get the inevitable blemish, the serum sped up the recovery process and our pimples didn’t look quite as angry or red as usual. Working in tandem is gallic acid, a plant-based ingredient known for its brightening properties, brimming with a ridiculous concentration of phenolic acids, which is basically the heavyweight champion of fighting inflammation and bacteria growth. It’s so effective that it can even match hydrocortisone when treating the severe red, itchy symptoms associated with atopic dermatitis. The formula is also stuffed with moisture replenishing ingredients, like hydrolyzed rice protein, to prevent dehydration. This little protein has also been shown to reduce tyrosinase activity that leads to melanin production. Panthenol is another skin-softening ingredient that pulls double-duty by nourishing the skin while delivering healing properties that can fade the look of acne scars and other marks. This all seems extremely positive, but then it adds "except in the rare situation where governments or laws require it."
