If you’re looking to lighten hyperpigmentation and sun spots, Solvaderm says it has a solution that can transform your skin and goes beyond the ordinary. Let us review Age Spot and Pigment Brightening Complex and see what this intriguing cream, which uses only natural ingredients to lighten pigmentation, can do.
What’s In Age Spot and Pigment Brightening Complex?
Some main ingredients are:
- Seaweed Extract
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Grape Fruit Extract
- Mallow Extract
- Peppermint Extract
- Lady’s Mantle Extract
- Speedwell Herb Extract
- Balm Mint Extract
- Yarrow Extract
Seaweed and grapefruit extract combine two incredible forms of antioxidants. The latter in particular is used to produce resveratrol, which removes free radicals and other cell invaders, oxygenates the blood and can reverse some signs of aging. The mint plant family as well as Yarrow, in particular, inhibit pigmentation and lighten skin naturally and safely, rather than simply stripping skin of other essential nutrients in the process. These plant botanicals are also deeply soothing and provide skin with intense nourishment. This is enhanced by hyaluronic acid, which is the most moisture-rich substance known. It retains moisture more than 1000% better than virtually anything else. This is a good formula. You can never have enough Vitamin E and Vitamin C though as these provide further potent anti-aging properties and also boost collagen production, to keep your skin supple and firm.
How Do You Use Age Spot and Pigment Brightening Complex?
The complex comes in an airless pump dispenser which uses a vacuum system to dispense the product. Pump out the excess air the first time you use the product. To ‘jumpstart’ the dispensing process initially or any time thereafter, place your finger over the opening and pump the bottle 10 to 15 times.
Apply a thin layer to your face and any other areas with visibly uneven pigmentation you may be targeting. First, clean your skin then apply once in the evening, and once in the morning. When you use this during the day, always apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. You can start to see the effects in two weeks, and can expect to see dramatic results within 12 weeks.
The Cost
The tube with pump mechanism contains one ounce of Complex and costs $69.99. There are no discounts but free ground local shipping applies to all orders of over $60.
Is There a Guarantee?
A 60-day money-back guarantee is in place. Provided that you return the product within 60 days, you’ll be refunded, minus shipping costs. It isn’t clear though if you can return unopened goods as well as partially used ones.
The Conclusion of Our Age Spot and Pigment Brightening Complex Review
Age Spot and Pigment Brightening Complex does not use any of the artificial pigment blockers many spot correctors use. This makes the product safe and free from links to skin disease. It is evident that much scientific research has gone into constructing the formula. Many products claim to be based on scientific research without being able to substantiate that claim but Solvaderm is transparent about the research on which its product is based.
While the product is better than most, notably omissions are medical-strength silicone to seal in moisture. The moisture delivery in this product is superb, but it must be retained via a moisture barrier to derive the maximum benefit. The product also seemingly lacks standalone amounts of Vitamin C and E which are vital for delivering anti-aging properties and boosting collagen. Although the product uses a proprietary blend, it does not appear to contain any patented ingredients. This is where value-based arguments have to be taken into account. We have found singular products in the same price range also delivering science-based nutrient values, and at the same time, including five patented ingredients or more. Patented ingredients assure you of getting the benefit of the most advanced, intense and stable forms of already hard-working ingredients. We would also have liked to see included the clinically proven ingredients of gypsyweed and Alpenrose. While this product goes further than most to ensure that spots are lightened naturally with some of the finest plant-based ingredients according to scientific research, it still, therefore, lacks a few leading ingredients and falls sort of the best-in-class standard of five patented ingredients or more.
