From freckles to age spots to melasma, one in two women has some form of hyperpigmentation. Many turn to makeup to conceal the discoloration and others spend loads of cash on chemical peels. A more effective and cost efficient method is to fade the spots, but with warnings about hydroquinone, finding  one that works, is reasonably priced, and doesn’t come with a host of potentially damaging side effects can be a challenge.

Enter La Roche-Posay’s Mela-D Pigment Control Concentrated Dark Spot Correcting Serum ($58.95), clinically proven to correct and prevent the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone while improving radiance and texture in as little as two weeks ~ without the use of hydroquinone.

Previously only available in physicians’ offices, this highly concentrated dark spot correcting serum boasts 2x the concentration of the brand’s daytime corrective treatment, Mela-D Serum.

Mela-D Pigment Control Concentrated Dark Spot Correcting Serum is a triple action formula combining lipo-hydroxy acid (LHA), La Roche Posay’s exclusive pro-exfoliating molecule, with glycolic acid for added exfoliation, plus kojic acid, a natural skin lightener derived from mushrooms.

A clinical study with Mela-D Pigment Control Concentrated Dark Spot Correcting Serum shows a 48% reduction in lentigo size and color intensity in three months3. Skin complexion is more uniform and skin radiance is significantly boosted.

La Roche-Posay Mela-D Pigment Control Concentrated Dark Spot Correcting Serum is available at select physicians’ offices, select CVS/pharmacy stores, CVS.com, select Walgreens and Duane Reade locations, and online at www.laroche-posay.us
