Now you may be wondering why I am reviewing this, and NO in case you wondered Anti – Taches doesn’t mean I am trying to rid myself of a moustache, thank you very much.
My mum asked me if I was aware of any product that got rid of age spots. At around 59 years old she has a few on her face and hands and wanted to know how to get rid of them, as, obviously, they are a bit unsightly.
I found this info about age spots There are a couple different types of brown spots that people get on their skin. There are solar lentigos (age spots) and freckles (known as ephiledes). These come from the sun and that’s because the sun damages the melanocytes, which are the cells in the epidermis (the skin’s surface layer) that produce melanin pigment. Most of the cells in our epidermis are skin cells that form the dead skin layer as well as keratin that protects us from the outside world, but one in every tenth or twentieth cell is a melanocyte which produces melanin pigment and transfers this brown pigment to our skin cells to help protect us against the sun. agespots.net
Laser treatment is very popular however it is also very expensive so my mum just wanted a treatment or cream that she could apply and maybe fade them slightly if not remove them.
The kit is only £37.50 from Lookfantastic
This LIERAC ANTI-TACHES Corrective Pigmentation Kit contains the following two steps:
Step 1: Depigmentation Activating Essence (10% AHAs) helps diminish the colour of brown spots from the very first days of use by working to eliminate surface pigment build-ups and stimulate cell renewal.
Step 2: Intensive Depigmenting Serum (stabilised vitamin C, botanical extract of mandresy, micro-algae extract) helps regulate the production of the 2 pigments specifically involved in the appearance of brown spots, with brightening results after just 30 days. Enriched with a botanical extract of litchi, it works to prevent the reappearance of brown spots and improve skin quality.
Directions for Use
- Step 1: Morning and night, apply Depigmentation Activating Essence carefully to brown spots.
- Step 2: Morning and night, apply Intensive Depigmenting Serum over the entire area to be treated, after the Depigmentation Activating Essence.
- Use the program for at least 6 consecutive weeks to see visible results
Above you can see before and after 4 weeks of treatment, she will still be continuing until the products are used up. She has definitely noticed a difference and, while subtle I do think that this product appears to be working too especially on the top, back of the hand picture.
My mum definitely recommend this and I am pleased we managed to find something that works! I am really liking Lierac products. After I was send the bust toning spray I have been reading up on them and I like that everything is technology based and has to be proven before they will claim anything.
If your mum or nan has the same problem then definitely let them know as it’s easy to use and nowhere near as expensive as 1 laser treatment.
