Growing up, I had clear, blemish-free skin. But when I went off birth control after more than 10 years, my hormones went crazy. I had more and more breakouts, which left my forehead, cheeks and jaw line full of dark spots. As my hormones began to balance out, minimizing new blemishes, I tried everything under the sun to restore my once even complexion. But as an advantage of being a beauty writerI have access to top skincare products. The recent game changer in my routine was Vitamin C serum from Brownkind for its effectiveness in addressing hyperpigmentation while brightening and smoothing fine lines.

Brownkind Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C serum from Brownkind stimulates collagen production and reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation while promoting an even tone and luminous glow. The nutrient-rich formula also softens and firms skin, leaving skin looking youthful. It is also designed with melanin-rich skin in mind.

The serum it feels light, has a gel-like consistency and absorbs quickly. It slotted effortlessly into my skincare routine. I apply it right after cleansing and toning, letting it sink in before moving on to my moisturizer. I noticed immediately upon first use how radiant my skin was and that the hollow areas looked fuller. My hyperpigmentation is more even, including spots that were on my cheeks and forehead.

After a month of consistent use, I was getting constant compliments on my skin from my boyfriend and family on how clear and glowing my face looked. And the wrinkled areas around my mouth and forehead were much smoother, especially under makeup. It was gentle enough to use daily without any irritation, which is huge for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. The serum it plays well with the other products in my skincare and makeup routine and doesn’t clog my pores. Editor’s note: I always apply SPF to prevent skin sensitivity when I’m outside.
