Correcting skin discoloration has been an all-time focus in the Asian cosmetic market, but now it seems there is a skin corrector rush in US – all major beauty brands are promoting their skin corrector products. Below are 5 skin correctors that are relatively new to the market.
Claims: See dark spots begin to fade in just 14 days.
Key ingredients: Idebenone and Soy-Ferulate-C (Feruloyl Soy Glycerides and Ascorbyl Glucoside).
Claims: Dark spot correcting, age repairing.
Key ingredients:
- Hexylresorcinol and spergularia extract: anti-dark spot action, evens skin tone.
- Cochlearia and waltheria extracts: firming and anti-wrinkle action, help to restore complexion luminosity.
- Hyaluronic acid: hydrating action.
Claims: The first fast-acting Serum from Estée Lauder Research proven to dramatically reduce the look of uneven skintone: redness, acne marks, dark spots, sun spots, discolorations.
Key ingredients:
- Triple-Optic Technology provides skin with a brighter, more luminous look from the very first application.
- CorrectTone Technology visibly reduces uneven skintone in 2 weeks, while anti-oxidants help prevent its re-appearance.
My comments: Triple-Optic Technology gives you a subtle glow just by adding some shimmer in the product, which is nothing but a cosmetic effect. The ingredients that can possibly reduce discoloration are: several plant extracts, salicylic acid, a form of stabilized vitamin C (ascorbyl glucoside), acetyl glucosamine (has inhibitory effect on melanin production) and yeast extract. Estée Lauder has added pretty much all non-hydroquinone ingredients that have research showing their effects on skin discoloration.
Claims: Faster dark spot reduction in just 4 weeks. Clinically-proven against the leading prescription ingredient.
Key ingredients: hydrolyzed soy flour, yeast extract and salicylic acid.
Claims: in clinical trials our serum was comparable to a leading prescription ingredient in creating a more even skin tone-a verified 53% improvement.
Key ingredients: the same as Estée Lauder Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator except that this one does not have the cosmetic shimmer.
