Keihl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution is
clinically proven to reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyper
pigmentation. It has a key ingredient of Active C, the latest Vitamin C
derivative available on the market today, as well as peony and white
birch extracts.
The solution comes in a 30ml bottle with a pipette - you apply
one dropper onto cleansed skin at night, followed by your moisturiser,
however I found that it was very moisturising, and for me, with oily but
dehydrated skin, it was enough. I actually really liked how it made my
skin feel and that I didn't need to apply anything rich afterwards to
stop my skin from feeling tight.
In clinical trials, after just 2 weeks the participants noticed a decrease in the dark spot colour intensity. In 4 weeks the overall appearance was corrected, and within 8 weeks the results showed significant improvements in the overall skin tone. They claim this is down to the Active C as it becomes active on the skin immediately "The faster the activity on the skin can occur the sooner we can see a visible difference." says Dr Sherry Hsiung, hyper pigmentation expert and a Keihl's consulting dermatologist.
When I heard these facts I was itching to get cracking with it - I have suffered from bad skin for most of my life, and have lots of red marks over my face, I was hoping that this would help to get rid of them.
Ever the eternal optimist, when two weeks came and went without my scars disappearing, I became pessimistic. I gave up on the fact it was going to work for me in the way it was intended, but liked the feel of it on my skin - it is really lightweight and hydrating, so continued to use it as a serum.
It wasn't until my bottle ran out, and I could no longer use it, that I realised it was having an effect on my scars - there was nothing miraculous - it certainly didn't clear my skin, but they were definitely faded. I would definitely buy it again - if not for the fact my scarring was slightly improved, for the sheer gorgeousness of it as a serum.
Have you tried this or any other dark spot or scar reducing product? What do you think of it?
I found that Clinique's Even Better Clinical worked wonders on my scarring, it also helped with any future breakouts, they didnt get as red and didnt scar as much afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to go a bit more natural though and I found pure Rosehip oil worked amazingly well, sunk straight into the skin and definitely helped with keeping my skin clear! I would repurchase Even Better Clinical again... but its so expensive for the few weeks that it lasts!
May give this a go so desperate to fade some old acne spots
