Best Dark Spot Corrector Under $25 "For mass-marketing safety reasons, drugstore dark spot correctors do not have lightening ingredients in high concentrations, like physician-dispensed brands. However, they can still be quite effective on brown spots or stains that are less than one to two months old. Look for ingredients such as kojic acid, arbutin, Vitamin C, and hydroquinone. All of these ingredients have been extensively studied over decades and do have skin-lightening properties. If you have a new sun freckle or brown mark left over from a pimple, drugstore brands containing these ingredients should do the trick.
Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Dark Spot Corrector, $23.99, is a good drugstore dark spot corrector under $25. It contains stabilized vitamin C and a retinoid complex. Retinoids help with cell turnover, which combined with vitamin C helps get rid of dark spots efficiently. Patients have to be realistic with their expectations. No cream can get rid of old dark spots, especially ones that are over a year old, as the pigments are buried deep in the dermis." --Dr. S. Manjula Jegasothy, MD
