The post is sponsored by Clarins USA but story and opinion are my own.
I’ve lived half my life in the sun, between vacationing twice yearly in the Dominican Republic while growing up and living in West Palm Beach, Florida for college. So naturally one of my major skin concerns as I get older is dark spots and discoloration due to sun exposure. I had tried products in the past that were for sun exposure and correcting dark spots but found that they lightened the true color of my skin too much. So I have been hesitant to use a “skin lightener” since that time 2 years ago.
Since then I have noticed the beginnings of sunspots faintly appearing around my cheekbone/ eye are and slightly above my mouth. My beauty routine had all the basics; vitamin c, retinol, anti-aging creams, and targeted eye cream. But my skin was in need of a solution for the slowly surfacing dark spots.
I took the Clarins USA quiz to find my perfect serum match. It was a short quiz that covered my skin concerns and matched me with the serum that would provide the solution. I was matched with their Mission Perfection Serum, a dark spot corrector that evens skin tone diminishes redness and gives your skin a healthy glow! This serum will erase dark spots, correct redness and discoloration while keeping the integrity of your skins true color. I was excited to try!
I received the serum before I left Houston for Christmas vacation in Florida. I was looking forward to trying the serum out and sharing with my mom. If I find a beauty product or tool I think is interesting she is the first person I consult and or share with. I thought it would be the perfect serum to try together as she lives in Florida full time now.
Routine:
I worked the serum into my morning and nightly routine. I applied it after washing my face and before my Vitamin C. I let the serum fully absorb and gave my skin some time before applying the rest of my routine. Since I was on vacay I have a lot more time for my morning beauty regimen.
Results:
I noticed redness diminish quite immediately upon application. Within days I saw brightness in my skin quality but not a “whitening” effect. As I look in the mirror this morning I see a significantly even skin tone, especially around my eye and cheekbone area.
My mom was using the serum twice daily as well and she noticed her darkest sunspot was lightened by fifty percent within the first few days of use. She too noted redness diminsed and a more-even skin tone. Within days she asked me where she could buy her own.
Conclusion:
Not only am I very satisfied with my results within the first weeks of use but I have a deep feeling of happiness that I was able to help address my mom’s skin concerns as well. The best reward is not only finding a solution for yourself but sharing it with others you care about, so I happy to share this with you!
