Top 6 pigmentation correctors you need in your skin care kit

Pigmentation and dark spots are pesky little things. They pop up on your face, your hands and your décolletage without so much as a polite warning, and once they arrive, they tend to stick around. For a very long time.

1. Garnier Dark Spot Corrector Daily Unifying Moisturiser

2. CLINIQUE Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector

“After about 4-5 weeks of use, I noticed a definite improvement in my acne scarring. The redness had lessened and became more uniform to my normal skin tone. My face looked brighter and little spots I had on my right side (from driving, grr sunshine!) seemed to have faded a bit as well. I definitely saw results!” – Lana Lang

3. Alpha-H Liquid Gold Radiance

“I've been using the Alpha H Liquid Gold for years after stocking it in my salon. I used the Liquid Gold radiance a few months ago as it is slightly stronger than Liquid Gold. It was brilliant and really made my skin feel really clean and toned and helped even more with pigmentation.” – Cb Sheck

4. John Plunkett Superfade Original Cream

“Have only been using for a few weeks but can see a major improvement, especially on my hands. Used it initially on one arm and noticed the difference in a week. Now I'm using it all over (major age spot infestation) and am really excited by the results.” – Lyndam

5. Ultraceuticals Even Skintone Serum

“I only got it a couple of weeks ago now, but my pigmentation is about 90% gone. I am so happy and I would definitely recommend you give this product a go if you want to get rid of or minimise pigmentation.” – Kpiripi

6. Avon Anew Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening Serum

“Whenever my skin is looking dull, I reach for this product. After one application it leaves my skin looking brighter and wonderfully glowy, and with regular use, it notably fades the freckles on my cheeks and small pimple scars on my chin area. In fact, I can't recommend the entire Anew Clinical Luminosity Pro Brightening range enough!” – bh's Cherie

Note: remember to be persistent when using these products. Sun and age spots take time to develop, and they also take time to fade. Apply these products once or twice a day for at least four weeks and you'll start to see results. And with continued use, you'll prevent new spots from forming. Win!
