We know glowing, radiant skin is the result of a good skincare routine, and one of the first steps you should take in your routine is addressing how to even out your skin tone. These reader-approved skin lightening creams and skin brightening products do just that, giving you smoother, brighter skin and lessening dark spots caused by sun damage and scarring. (There are also a few skin lightening creams that just don't live up to their name.)
Why it's great: "This works wonders on dark spots, probably better than any other dark spot corrector that I have used in the past," says one user. "It feels light on your skin and isn't super heavy and absorbs quickly so you can apply moisturizer on immediately after." Another reader says that it helped to make her "skin tone look even," though she noted that it works best for newer dark spots and acne scars.
Why it's great: "Spots? WHAT dark spots?" jokes one fan of this product. "I have had great success with this product," writes another user. "I started seeing results after only one week and after several months my age spots have lightened significantly."
Why it's great: Users say their "skin's radiance drastically improved from using this product," and it prevented them from developing any new sunspots — even while vacationing in sunny locations. Readers also say it brightens their skin and corrects acne scars. "It has a light texture and a lovely fragrance," says one user. "Great for sensitive skin that can't handle glycolics or have rosacea. Worth every penny."
Why it's great: "I wish I would have saved my money and found this product sooner," raves one reader, who also says she noticed results almost immediately. Another fan says it was key in reducing her freckles and sunspots.
