Our 4 Favorite Dark Spot Correctors

LA ROCHE-POSAY MELA-D PIGMENT CONTROL

This concentrated serum contains glycolic acid and LHA, two strong players when it comes to exfoliating the skin, smoothing and evening out the surface, and also to add radiance. To use, fill dropper with serum and apply to face, neck and chest alone or under moisturizer. If you have sensitive skin, start with one application every other day and gradually build up tolerance for daily use.

KIEHL CLEAR CORRECTION FOR DARK SPOTS 

We love this double whammy that helps reduce the look of dark spots and visibly evens out skin tone with a powerful Vitamin C formula complex supported by White Birch and Peony extracts. Plus, it helps curb future dark spots and discoloration with daily use. Winner, winner, skin care dinner.

Be warned: unprotected UV exposure can make your dark spots even darker (newbie mistake). Always apply a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily.- especially when using a dark spot corrector - to keep problem areas under control and avoid further sun damage.
