THE VERDICT:

Truly, the best way to combat dark spots is to keep on switching to new spot lightening products and Elizabeth Arden's Visible Whitening Melanin Control Day Essence joins my growing list of tried and tested spot lightening serums. By the way, I'm getting more and more confident now with my skin because my dark spots have been reduced significantly already. :)

ELIZABETH ARDEN VISIBLE WHITENING MELANIN CONTROL DAY ESSENCE IN DETAIL

Visible Whitening replaces Elizabeth Arden's classic whitening range. It looks more posh and formulation has been improved. It's a complete range that includes a facial wash, toner, moisturizer, day emulsion, night cream, day spot treatment, night spot treatment (comes in capsule form), and even BB Creams for thorough skin brightening. Elizabeth Arden said that this serum helps prevent UV light from accelerating Tyrosinase activity within the skin.

Ingredients

Here are the star ingredients of the Visible Whitening range:

SpectaBright- Botanical hops extract from France that acts on signal reaction from UV light and melanosome transportation to inhibit melanin production

Vitamin C Derivatives- enhances and minimizes skin darkness overtime; antioxidant

Pearl Powders, Mica, Silicone, and Pigment- imparts immediate brightness

A combination of Olive tree extract, Zinc, PCA, stabilized Vitamin C- fights formation of dark spots

More about this super light, makeup- friendly and effective spot lightener after the break! :)

Product only comes in one size and it's a sturdy glass bottle wrapped in a gorgeous silver foil-I like the packaging so much because it's so easy to spot in my dresser. :)

I also like the dropper dispenser because it lets me control the amount of product I take. My only issue is the dropper has limited reach especially when you've hit the bottom of the bottle already-you have to manually shake the remaining liquid out of it so nothing will go to waste.

Product is a very light emulsion- like liquid with a light, uplifting floral smell and hints of liquid shimmer, the secret to its instant brightening effect-this is also why it's best used under makeup because the shimmers reflect light, thus minimizing the appearance of dark spots. It's very moisturizing and it gets absorbed very quickly too. The 30ml bottle has lasted me a good 3 months. I use it once a day only specifically during night time. I know it's supposed to be used during daytime, but I just don't like putting a lot of stuff on my face on this time of day. If you're worrying that the micro shimmers may clog skin during night time, no it won't, based on experience. :)

Check out my results:

Before using the serum

After 3 months

The marks featured in this post are some of my oldest post- acne marks (they're around 3 years old) and nice to know that this serum has lightened 'em up considerably. There were newer marks that popped around the old ones and they showcased the faster result compared to the latter. Aside from the effective lightening effect, it also smoothed out my skin's texture. It works fairly slow and I wish my spots have lightened up completely before finishing the bottle, but at least I know of another effective spot lightening treatment! If you're a fan of Elizabeth Arden's skin care range, you now know which product to get in case you're dealing with hyperpigmentation!
