Over the last decade, Proactiv Solution products have gained ample popularity. This is mainly because they assist with acne blemishes and problematic skin. Teenagers, women, and men can all use the products in this line to help reduce problematic skin and breakouts. More recently, Proactiv has come out with products to address other skin concerns as well. One of these topical treatments is the Proactiv Dark Spot Corrector. As you may have heard, the Clinique Even Better Dark Spot Corrector has become quite popular lately, and this has caused many skin care lines to focus on this skin concern. After all, dark spots and hyper pigmentation are major factors when it comes to aging. The first thing you should know about Proactiv Dark Spot Corrector is that it sells for $22 (a one-ounce tube).

Product Details

Proactiv Dark Spot Corrector is similar to many other topical products that address concerns like hyper pigmentation, past acne scars, red marks on the skin, age spots, sun damage, and liver spots. This formula can be applied daily in order to help lighten or diminish these brown spots and discolorations. However, it is wise to apply a sunscreen during the daytime as well. This way your skin will not accumulate more UV damage. Proactiv Dark Spot Corrector does not address conditions like wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and fine lines.

The primary active ingredient used in Proactiv Dark Spot Corrector is Hydroquinone 2%. This is a common bleaching ingredient that is used in many hyper pigmentation products. 2% is the highest level that can be used without a doctor’s prescription. Hydroquinone basically inhibits the production of melanin in the skin. Other key ingredients used in this formula are Vitamins A, C, and E. These are added for antioxidant protection, and may help improve skin texture and tone.

The Good

  • Vitamins A, C and E are found in this face treatment.
  • Proactiv Dark Spot Corrector is readily available without a prescription needed.
  • This product is oil-free and non-comedogenic.

The Bad

  • There are some user complaints about the smell of this product.
  • There is no complete ingredient list provided.
  • Some users have stated that this product does not work as claimed.
  • Proactiv Dark Spot Corrector may irritate some skin types, since it contains Hydroquinone.

The Bottom Line

It is clear that age spot corrective products are gaining popularity these days. This is mainly because many women and men suffer from signs of hyper pigmentation. Even though Proactiv Dark Spot Corrector is geared more toward people with past acne marks, the key ingredient in this formula is the same as many other age spot treatments (Hydroquinone). Therefore this product may have a positive impact on your age spots and hyper-pigmented skin. Just keep in mind that this is the only skin concern Proactiv Dark Spot Corrector addresses.
