Dark spots. Age spots. Sun spots. Acne marks. No matter the name, you just want to get rid of them.
Truer words were never spoken!
Equinol Dark Spot Concentrate is a joy to use. I apply it in the AM and PM under my regular serum. In the PM, I add on an acid for an extra boost, and so far this combination is looking good. Alone it will work well too, albeit at a slower pace. I am on on a tight schedule so I had to hasten the proceedings a little...
This treatment is a bit of a multi tasker because it promises to improve discolourations (SR12 Complex), slough dead skin cells (Salicylic Acid and Glucosamine) and provide antioxidant protection (Vitamin E and Grapefruit Peel Extract). The fact that it is packed full of plant extracts that will put many anti-ageing serums to shame certainly heightens its desirability.
The silicones (Dimethicone and PEG-10 Dimethicone) in the formula lends this product some slip, thus allowing it to glide smoothly. Not to the extent that it feels like a makeup base seeing that it gives me the impression of smoothing on a facial serum. I hope I did not cause any confusion? And since I am in the topic of the ingredient list, I also realised that the clinical scent occurs naturally, which is a boon for those with sensitivity towards fragrance in their skincare products.
Due to its light texture, I believe that Equinol Dark Spot Concentrate would suit almost all skin types. There is no harm in giving it a look if you suffer from hyperpigmentation. Available at SaSa for RM 155.

ReplyDeleteI suppose you'll have to buy it from sasa.com...
