Hyperpigmentation is an extremely common and usually harmless skin condition where some areas of skin appear darker than others. It occurs when your skin produces too much melanin, the dark pigment responsible for giving humans different skin colors. These dark patches can result from UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations, trauma to the skin, and even genetics. According to the National Institute for Health, over 5 million Americans suffer from hyperpigmentation.
SkinMedica’s new EVEN & CORRECT product line is the company’s most powerful hyperpigmentation treatment yet! These three products are designed to work together to treat and prevent hyperpigmentation, even out skin tone, and significantly brighten your complexion. Utilizing the most effective ingredient technology to date, the EVEN & CORRECT collection is customizable and offers a comprehensive approach to target various hyperpigmentation conditions that present in all skin types.
What Ingredients make EVEN & CORRECT So Effective?
SkinMedica’s patent-pending technology, LTN Complex™, was created to target melanin’s unique lifecycle to treat and prevent hyperpigmentation. The complex includes:
Ultra-Concentrated Lotus Sprout Extract – A specialized extraction process and biochemical engineering enriches the phytochemicals found in the lotus sprout extract at the plumule stage to harness the most potent properties that address skin discoloration.
Tranexamic Acid – A brightening acid compound specially formulated for optimized strength and efficacy that effectively reduces the appearance of dark spots.
Niacinamide – An antioxidant that improves the skin barrier function, reducing the appearance of skin discoloration, fine lines, and a sallow, yellow appearance.
Utilizing this LTN Complex™ technology, SkinMedica® has created three incredible products for the EVEN & CORRECT collection.
#1 – EVEN & CORRECT Brightening Treatment Pads
The first step in EVEN & CORRECT is a daily exfoliating and brightening treatment pad. After cleansing your skin, wipe a Brightening Treatment Pad across your face to tone and exfoliate your skin. This alcohol-free formulation uses witch hazel as a gentler astringent and contains brightening agents like tranexamic acid and glycolic acid for skin renewal. Because the Brightening Treatment pads contain Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA), you must wear sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product.
#2 – EVEN & CORRECT Advanced Brightening Treatment Serum
This daily serum is the powerhouse product of the EVEN & CORRECT collection. In clinical trials, it has proven successful at treating hyperpigmented skin and melasma and preventing future discoloration.
Advanced Brightening Treatment combines the LTN Complex™ with natural ingredients like plankton and grape seed extract in a powerful blend that targets skin tone and pigmentation from multiple angles. The serum also contains sodium hyaluronate, which helps hydrate skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Designed to be a non-irritating formula, it is fragrance and retinol free and does not contain hydroquinone.
Apply Advanced Brightening Treatment Serum morning and night after cleansing and using a Brightening Treatment Pad. Smooth one to two pumps over face, neck, and décolleté. Remember to wear sunscreen when using this product.
#3 – EVEN & CORRECT Dark Spot Cream
Do you have a stubborn spot of pigment? This spot treatment booster is for you! Dark Spot Cream is designed for stubborn areas of hyperpigmentation caused by acne, sun damage, or hormonal fluctuation. This targeted treatment is an effective way to optimize your results with the rest of the EVEN & CORRECT collection. It is highly concentrated and focuses on treating the dark spots that the widespread application of the Advanced Brightening Treatment Serum may impact less.
The Dark Spot Cream contains retinol, glycolic acid, and kojic acid, making it a product best applied in the evening when sun exposure is reduced. The formula also includes Vitamin C to help protect against sun damage, but an SPF is still recommended with use. Dark Spot Cream has been clinically tested, with users seeing visible results as early as two weeks and continuing results over 12 weeks.
Any of the EVEN & CORRECT products can be used individually, but they work best as a team to brighten your complexion, even out your skin tone, and prevent future pigmentation!
