Miracle Worker: Clinique Dark Spot Corrector

To paraphrase Ledisi’s self-affirming song, there are a million things we love about being Black women! However, hyperpigmentation is not one of them. The unsightly dark spots plague women of color, resulting in a constant (and somewhat costly) search for products and treatments that will even our skin tone. Enter Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector ($39.50), a prescription-strength serum that uses a plant-derived formula to fade hyperpigmentation due to scarring, aging or sun damage. Clinique claims that 53% of users saw an improvement in their skin tone after twelve weeks–a major development in the skincare market. Clear skin is on its way!
