Following a strict skin care regimen wasn’t something I started doing until a few years ago. I’ve always had pimples here and there, and thankfully never struggled with severe acne. However, those small breakouts were leaving terrible dark spots and acne scars on my face.

I started researching dark spot correcting products last fall when I read an interesting article on a flight to San Francisco. I already hate wearing a ton of makeup and my skin is oily so I wanted a lightweight product that I could wear all day long. The answer to my prayers…Lancome DreamTone. This skin correcting serum helps correct dark spots, color imperfections and uneven skin tone. There are three different skin tone options (fair, medium, and dark) available, and each one has a sheer tint to give your skin a slight glow.

Lancome even did an 8-week study which showed 78% of participants saw color imperfections reduced. I can vouch for that! I’ve been using the serum now for a few months, and have seen a visible reduction to the two main dark spots I have. Even after I have a small breakout it only takes a few days after using the serum for those spots to fade. Elle magazine recently put it on their list of “The Only Dark Spot Treatments You Need to Know About“.
