Dark Spots Do Care—Fade Them Now

The struggle continues (including for me) to keep our complexions free and clear of confidence-crushing dark spots. The way to evening these darkening skin patches or hyperpigmentation or over-produced melanocytes that appear as spots or over a larger area on your face as melasma is with products from Makari, Urban Skin Rx and DW Aesthetics. But the key to seeing results with any of the suggested products is patience because improvements with regular and consistent use may not be seen for up to eight weeks.

The ‘melanin skin experts’ and Paris-born brand, Makari offers Exclusive Dark Spot Corrector Serum – a rich gel cream with an exclusive high-potent blend with maximum strength Organiclarine to help improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation effectively evening tone and brightening skin as it heals.
