Wondering how to lighten the look of the dark spots on your face?

While there are plenty of skincare products out there that claim to be able to do this, very few of them actually deliver on their promises. This is where Vivo Per Lei decided to take control. Tired of all of the sub-par formulas available, we created a high-performance serum that effectively fades the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Want to know more? Keep reading!

Meet the Dark Spot Corrector Serum

Dark Spot Corrector Serum

The Vivo Per Lei Dark Spot Corrector Serum is a true superstar. It contains a number of ingredients that have been proven to diminish the visibility of dark spots, making it far more efficient than products that only have one active ingredient. 

Better yet, in addition to tackling the look of dark spots, this serum will boost your complexion in other ways too. Its hydrating properties will plump up the look of your skin while the other ingredients within will leave your skin barrier feeling supported and strengthened.

What’s in the Dark Spot Corrector Serum?

The power behind this serum lies in its carefully selected ingredients. Let’s take a closer look at some of the main ones:

Kojic Acid

Kojic acid is a natural ingredient that comes from either fungi or fermented rice wine. While some profess it to be a skin-bleaching ingredient, this isn’t how kojic acid works. Instead, it targets the appearance of excess melanin in the skin, which is what causes dark spots to form. It will lighten the look of those darker areas to match them back up with the rest of your skin tone, rather than actually bleaching your skin. 

Several studies confirm the benefits of kojic acid, showing how it can help with the appearance of different types of hyperpigmentation, including age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, freckles, and more.

Better yet, kojic acid is also known for being a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants help to fade the look of discoloration too while leaving the skin looking younger and healthier overall. 

With all that being said, research shows that kojic acid works best when it’s combined with other ingredients that have similar properties, which is exactly what we’ve done with our Dark Spot Corrector Serum. 

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid that comes from sugarcane. It’s most commonly loved for its exfoliating effects. It removes the outer layer of dead skin that sits on the skin’s surface, without the need for scrubbing. This means that even though it’s an acid, it’s actually far gentler than many of the exfoliating scrubs out there.

How does this relate to dark spots? Well, just like with kojic acid, glycolic acid targets the appearance of excess melanin in the skin, diminishing this to even out the skin tone. It also prevents the look of further discoloration in the skin, maintaining the visible results that it provides if used regularly.

Of course, just like all of the ingredients that we’ve hand-picked for our Dark Spot Corrector Serum, glycolic acid is another multi-tasker. It also helps to reduce the appearance of acne, wrinkles, and dullness, restoring vitality and vibrancy to the complexion. 

Niacinamide

Niacinamide, which is also known as vitamin B3, is a popular skincare ingredient. It has a number of uses, one of which is its ability to fade the look of dark spots. 

Again, this is another ingredient that has multiple studies backing it up. Research shows that whether you’re dealing with the appearance of age spots, melasma, or any other type of hyperpigmentation, niacinamide can help to even out your skin tone. 

Being an antioxidant, niacinamide is able to repair the visibility of environmental damage too. It will smooth away the look of fine lines and wrinkles while tightening the complexion. It also helps to make enlarged pores look smaller. In turn, this leaves the skin feeling more balanced in terms of oil content. That’s why the ingredient is also loved by those who suffer from frequent acne breakouts. 

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A comes in many different forms and each one slightly varies in potency. Retinyl palmitate is known for being one of the mildest forms of the vitamin, but this isn’t a bad thing. In the end, the visible effects that you’ll see from retinyl palmitate will be comparable to those provided by other vitamin A derivatives. However, the main difference is that you won’t have to deal with the skin purging and the other side effects that the more powerful forms of the vitamin can cause.

While some may be tempted to skip the vitamin A altogether, this would be a shame since this antioxidant is another ingredient that can be a game-changer when it comes to evening out the look of the skin. It will also give your skin a brighter finish, adding radiance to your complexion.

Of course, vitamin A is also renowned for how it fights the appearance of skin aging. It smooths away the look of wrinkles, firms up the complexion, and leaves the skin feeling more elastic.

Peptides

Peptides consist of chains of amino acids. These are the building blocks that your skin uses to create new protein fibers, which give your skin its volume and firmness. When it comes to dark spots, peptides work in a similar way to the other ingredients featured above. They reduce the appearance of excess pigmentation in the skin to leave the skin tone looking more balanced.

Peptides are great ingredients to add to your skincare routine for other reasons too. They’re fantastic at strengthening the feel of the skin barrier. This can help to counter a huge array of visible skin concerns since the healthier your skin barrier feels, the better it will be able to perform. 

In the Vivo Per Lei Dark Spot Correcting Serum, you’ll find a blend of three different peptides; oligopeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, and acetyl hexapeptide-8. By combining this trio, this serum provides even better results!

Sodium Hyaluronate

You’ve probably heard of sodium hyaluronate before, or perhaps hyaluronic acid, which is where the ingredient comes from. The main difference is that sodium hyaluronate features a much smaller molecular size. This enables it to sink deeper down into the complexion where it can produce more noticeable changes. 

What are those changes? The main one is ramping up skin hydration levels. Sodium hyaluronate is one of the best humectants out there. Its moisture-binding properties quickly quench the skin, immediately leaving it looking fuller and dewier. 

Although sodium hyaluronate doesn’t directly help with the appearance of dark spots in the way that the other ingredients in this serum do, it leaves the skin feeling much healthier and better capable of tackling the look of hyperpigmentation itself.

Tocopherol

Finally, let’s talk about vitamin E. Again, there are a few forms of this ingredient available, with tocopherol being the purest. However, unlike the pure forms of other vitamins, such as A and C, you won’t need to worry about irritation or any side effects. Vitamin E is all about supporting the complexion rather than actively targeting problems. It gently repairs the appearance of damage, which includes the visibility of dark spots.

Vitamin E is a great ingredient for hydrating the skin too. It functions as both an emollient and a humectant. This means that not only will it encourage your skin to draw in moisture from the air around it but it will then help to trap that moisture in, preventing it from quickly evaporating away. 

How to Use the Dark Spot Corrector Serum for the Best Results

Thinking of adding the Dark Spot Corrector Serum to your skincare routine? Here’s how to do that in the most effective way possible:

Start By Cleansing Your Skin

Collagen Foaming Cleanser

As always, the very first step in any skincare routine should be to cleanse your skin. Sure, you could simply slap this serum onto dirty skin but that will prevent it from working properly. Rather than quickly reaching your skin cells to work its magic, it will instead have to fight through a layer of dirt, sebum, dead skin cells, and other impurities. This will prevent a large amount of the serum from actually reaching your skin cells, rendering it far less effective.

Ideally, pick your cleanser based on your skin type. If you have oily skin, a foaming cleanser, like the Vivo Per Lei Collagen Foaming Cleanser, would be your best bet for de-greasing your complexion. Meanwhile, those with dry or combination skin will need something gentler, like the Vivo Per Lei Hyaluronic Acid Daily Facial Wash.

Apply the Dark Spot Corrector Serum

Now that your skin is clean, you can go ahead and apply the Dark Spot Corrector Serum. Doing so is easy. All you need to do is push down on the pump to dispense a small amount of product and then massage this into the skin on your face, neck, and chest. 

Moisturize Your Skin 

Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Day Cream

Once you’ve applied the serum, it’s important to follow up with a moisturizer. Why? Because this will help to seal the serum into your skin. If you skip the moisturizer, some of the ingredients in the serum will end up evaporating away, preventing the serum from producing its full range of visible results.

Again, pick your moisturizer based on your skin type, as well as the visible skin concerns you’re facing. The Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Day Cream from Vivo Per Lei is a lightweight blend that hydrates without weighing the skin down. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for something richer, give the Marine Aqua Facial Cream a try. For those of you with sensitive and easily reactive skin, the Vivo Per Lei Marine Sensitive Facial Hydro-Gel won’t disappoint!
