Like wrinkles, no treatment or magic cream will completely get rid of dark spots and pigmentation, however investing in the right skincare products can certainly help brighten them and improve uneven skin tone.
Dark spots or hyperpigmentation is mostly due to the overproduction of melanin in the skin which can be triggered by a number of things including hormones, pregnancy, the sun and age. Other factors which can cause dark spots include skin irritation as a result of acne, waxing or harsh scrubs.
If you’re fed up of living with dark spots or dull-looking skin in general, beauty fans are raving about this £45 Retinal treatment from Medik8 which many say has brightened up their overall appearance and reduced signs of ageing within just a few weeks of using it.
This groundbreaking vegan cream-serum is formulated with 0.06% Retinaldehyde, a super-charged derivative of vitamin A, which works to promote the skins natural collagen production helping to rebuild lost collagen and increase cell turnover, promoting a smoother, brighter and healthier complexion.
Trials have shown that in as little as four weeks, users have seen vast improvement in the appearance of pigmentation, dark spots, fine lines, wrinkles and breakouts - and there's thousands of glowing five-star reviews from delighted customers to back those claims up.
One thrilled shopper who purchased and tried out the cream for herself said: "I have been using Medik8 Crystal Retinal eye and face 6 for a few weeks now and have noticed a massive improvement. My skin is now looking better than ever and has an healthy glow, the fine lines and wrinkles are becoming less visible."
A second customer added: "I’ve been using Crystal Retinal for a few years now and haven’t looked back. My skin has gone brighter, the marks have faded and it just feels so hydrated! It’s my staple at night. I can’t be without it."
While a third said: "I’ve been using this for about 2 years and have noticed such a difference with the tone of my complexion and the appearance of my wrinkles and pigmentation, both are significantly fading. I wouldn’t be without it it now. Buy it - you definitely won’t regret it!"
Other key ingredients found in the formula include Hylauronic Acid and Vitamin E which keep skin hydrated whilst helping to strengthen the skin's barrier - resulting in a plumper, smoother-looking complexion.
If you're new to Crystal Retinal, it should be phased in gradually and only used in the evening. Use twice a week for the first two weeks, every other night for the next two weeks and then every night. Always wear suncreen the following morning while using this product, and for one week after.
