A worth-it splurge, SkinMedica was the best in the Beauty Lab’s dark spot serum test, delivering the most hyperpigmentation-correcting power of the products assessed. Made with proven dark spot-fighting ingredients such as niacinamide and tranexamic acid, the serum excelled on nearly every front, from evening skin tone to brightening.
The overall tester favorite, this treatment received the top score for making dark spots less visible, brightening skin, boosting radiance, and evening tone in four weeks of use. While some users liked that it was fragrance-free, others wished it had added scent; they also found the formula was tacky and took time to absorb.
TESTERS SAID: “I saw actual results in just two weeks,” one tester marveled. Another reported, “I got compliments on how glowy my skin looked.”
