Avene D-Pigment Dark Spot Corrector Review, Price & Buy Online India
Avene is one of the most renowned skincare brands, so much so that my sister’s dermatologist has many a times recommended her Avene products for her sensitive and acne prone skin. I have loved using their Very High Protection Sunscreen Range and lately I have been using the much raved about Avene D Pigment Dark Spot Lightener which has been known to be very effective at lightening dark spots on the face and neck. I have been using this for 6+ weeks so read on to know if it worked equally well for me or not.
Price: Rs 1350 for 30ml
Can be bought online at Flipkart
Product Description
Made from a trio of actives scientifically recognized by dermatologists, this product combines the action of Melanyde, a depigmenting active, with Retinaldehyde, a lightening active and natural retinoid derived from vitamin A, and with Pre-tocopheryl, a protective anti-oxidizing active and a precursor to vitamin E, as well as Avène thermal spring water with its soothing and anti-irritating properties.
Packaging
The Avene D Pigment Dark Spot Corrector comes in a pristine white tube with a silver cap. It has a protruding tiny nozzle which is quite effective in controlling the amount of product to be used. Though the tube is tiny but it lasts quite a long time as you need a small amount per usage and ofcourse would take up less space incase you take it with you on a trip.
Texture
The Avene Lightener is a slightly yellow in color and is of a light consistency. The Light Dark Spot Corrector is said to be suitable for normal to combination skin but I feel even oily skin would like the texture. I have been using it as a spot corrector rather than all over the face as a moisturizer. You can try the rich dark spot corrector if you have dry skin as that is more hydrating.
Efficacy
Since the Avene Dark Spot Lightener contains retinol, it is advisable to only use it at night. Also, make sure you do not skip sunscreen while going out especially when using retinol products as it makes the skin more sensitive. I recently noticed some dark spots around my nose and thats where I primarily applied the spot corrector. I also applied it around my chin area where I have uneven skintone. I did not notice any visible change the first 2 weeks and it did get me dejected at first.
However, I continued using it for the next 4 weeks and noticed considerable improvement in the spots around my nose. I used to cover it with a heavy duty concealer but now I don’t think anyone really notices it even when I got out with my bare face. The darkness around my chin has also reduced but not as much as the dark spots. I do not have acne marks but I’ve read that it has shown great results on girls who did and we all know how annoying acne marks can be. So, a product that works this effectively is surely worth it. A single tube would last you 2-3 months if you use it a spot treatment rather than a moisturizer.
1) Light in consistency and did not make my skin oily
2) Absorbs easily into the skin
3) On continuous use, it considerably lightened up my dark spots
4) Is known to be very effective in lightening the pesky acne marks
5) A little goes a long way so the tube will easily last you a couple of months
6) Fragrance free
1) Some might find it a bit expensive
2) You need to religiously use it daily to see results, not exactly a con though
HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: The Avene D-Pigmented Light Dark Spot Corrector is known to be the best product for lightening acne marks. While, I do not have acne marks but it did manage to lighten the dark spots around my nose and slightly reduced the uneven skintone around my chin, when used religiously. If you have been suffering from either acne marks or dark spots then I strongly suggest trying this out as it did work very well for me.
