Summer is over and your tan is fading but you are noticing brown spots that weren’t there before. Your skin looks different and it’s clear it needs some attention - there has been too much fun and not enough care. So which product is right for you?
Vitamin C is known for its brightening properties and is in most dark spot correctors. For those with medium to deep skin tones, it might take other ingredients to help. Some of the best brightening ingredients for dark skin tones are hydroquinone (used sparingly), retinol, and azelaic acid. Retinol gives you both brightening and firming benefits, as it works to boost collagen production and eliminate fine lines and acne. And if you're looking to get an even skin tone while also dealing with acne and rosacea, azelaic acid is another option.
With all that in mind, we’ve put together our best and brightest dark spot correctors to help fade and lessen your dark spots for every skin tone. Scroll down to find the right one for you.
