The active ingredients in Kiehl’s dark spot corrector are vitamin C, white birch extract, and peony extract. According to the brand, both white birch extract and peony extract work with vitamin C to enhance potency. White birch contains vitamin C and niacinamide (vitamin B3), especially effective when paired. Both lead to a more even complexion, lightening darker spots to match the natural lighter skin tone of the surrounding area.

Although some formulas contain ingredients like vitamin C or hyaluronic acid, which could instantly provide a brightening or plumping effect, to get to the root of the issue and access long-term benefits, it's best to incorporate them into your daily beauty ritual.

Meanwhile, the algae extract gently exfoliated away dry flakes, leaving our skin smooth and even. In tandem, an ingredient we had never heard before, called acetylglucosamine, worked as a mighty force to lessen melanin production and to repair wounds, and over time, we saw our most intense acne scars begin to fade. Similarly, turmeric is another antioxidant-rich ingredient — specifically, the skin-lightening chemical, curcumin, it releases —to help control inflammatory reactions to exposure to environmental stressors like pollution and UV radiation. Meanwhile, some research suggests that this formula’s use of advanced bioflavonoids (plant-derived compounds) could be an advantageous approach to preventing cell deterioration that ages skin. Manhattan-based board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Macrene Alexiades suggests looking for products that, “are working at the root of the matter” to repair the skin and avoid damage that causes brown spots and vulnerability, such as amino acids like glucosamine, aspartic acid, arginine, and citric acid. “Those are gentle and they're safe,” she says, adding that next you can seek out nourishing antioxidants, like a high dose of ferulic acid and vitamins C and E, that will repair the discolored damage without irritating the skin.

As a refresher, vitamin C is high on the list of potent antioxidants, and, fun fact, it’s also a primary replenisher of vitamin E, making it a super powerful competitor against the effects of oxidative stress, like overexposure to solar radiation. Notably, it’s an A+ addition to any formula aiming to target acne scars since it increases collagen production, a protein necessary for rebuilding the skin barrier, healing it and making it stronger in the process. As it turns out, research shows that azelaic acid works just as well in controlling acne, if not better, than tretinoin, and it’s less abusive, meaning not only were we experiencing fewer breakouts, but our skin was less aggravated, too. Also, silybum marianum fruit, a plant-based extract that mitigates oil production, also helped inhibit new pimples from emerging, contributing to our renewed, refreshed complexions.
