3 Serums To Reduce the Appearance of Dark Spots

This intensive corrector serum boosts radiance and brightens the appearance of skin. Lightweight, non-greasy, and pleasant-smelling, the matte-finish serum delivers instant and long-lasting hydration. It contains LHA—a lipo hydroxy acid that gently micro-exfoliates the skin—and a complex of complexion-enhancing PhE-Resorcinol, ginko biloba extract, and ferulic acid. Over time the serum can help skin look more luminous and even.
