After having my two sons, I ended up with light brown marks on the top of my cheeks. These brown patches are caused by changes in skin pigmentation during pregnancy (also known as pregnancy mask, melasma or chloasma). They aren't too dark, but definitely can be seen. I had been looking for something to fade these patches and recently got the chance to try out Ageless Derma's Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener.
I used the Skin Brightener until the jar was empty. I did find the product to be effective. While it didn't completely erase my brown spots, it did fade them significantly. I loved the pump on the jar. You just press down on the flat top and the perfect amount of cream comes out! It also was very effective at moisturizing my skin. After using the Skin Brightener and achieving results, you do have to be diligent about protecting your skin from the sun or the spots will return. Ageless Derma's Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener also works on freckles, age spots, liver spots or spots caused by using oral contraceptives.
According to Ageless Derma's website, the ingredients in the Skin Brightener are:
- NET-DG-Licorice Root, a natural anti-inflammatory agent that is extracted from the licorice root.
- BV-OCS, a form of natural Vitamin C that is a skin whitener, anti-oxidant and collagen protector.
- Biowhite – Mulberry Grape Juice, a plant complex, a stable, all natural substance, that is made up of mulberry, grape extract, saxifrage, and Scutellaria. It inhibits tyrosinase activity, the body’s producer of melanin which makes up the skin’s pigmentation.
- Belides, taken from the Daisy Flower, a skin-whitening agent found in nature that is an inhibitor of tyrosinase, much as Biowhite is.
Belides contains no chemical preservatives; it is naturally stable as a cosmetic ingredient
.
- Alpha Arbutin.
This tyrosinase inhibitor can also reduce excess tanning accidents and lighten skin, thus minimizing the dangerous effects of excess UV exposure.
All in all, I felt that the Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener worked well and my brown patches required less makeup coverage after a few weeks. Visit their website,
