Psst; there are lots of other actives/products which Revolution Skincare make which can help you reverse dark marks, but these 2 are THE ones with best potential to show you fab results. Retinol– considered THE gold standard in anti-ageing, this active is a kind of vitamin A which has been proven over and over and over again to help reduce wrinkles, boost collagen production and iron out fine lines. Not bad benefits eh.

Also, it’s worth noting that unless you go to a dermatologist don’t expect results overnight with any dark spot remover.This means that it lasts a lot longer than you might think. We’re not saying this makes it great value for money but it’s not quite as expensive and extortionate as first appears.

The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it. We wouldn’t recommend using this product alone on dark spots or acne scars that are particularly bad, as it might take some time for results to show. However, it is a great post-inflammatory treatment to use alongside other serums and moisturisers in our best dark spot remover and corrector list. And it’s affordable, too. Skincare which helps to reverse and rewind like Craig David, can help you battle away acne, spots and pimples. And here’s actives which can help you do it; High in Vitamin C, this product works to correct pigmentation while making the skin visibly brighter. In the next 2 to 5 minutes we will have you sorted with THE BEST Revolution Skincare for your very special skin type and super specific skin needs. That’s because down below you are about to find a must bookmark cheat sheet of the best Revolution Skincare split per skin type and skin concerns. The ultimate way to get started with budget skincare which works.Green tea– you’ll find it as Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract on the label – known to help stop your skin converting androgens into up to 10 times more potent androgens, and you guessed it my friend – androgen hormones cause your skin to pump out the oil like they were firefighters at an Inferno. For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide! As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.

There’s a whole load more fun here. While The Ordinary are ‘clinical’ Revolution Skincare are like what would happen if you crossed a doctor with a TopShop stylist. This means some Revolution Skincare formulas are not for everyone – for example, some Revolution Skincare products use small amounts of fragrance and essential oils, plus colourants. The Ordinary skincare do not. They are 0% here. Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients. What’s the difference between mature skin and skin that’s age concerned/has those first signs of ageing? It’s all about potency here. Plus direct action to boost precious collagen and elastin levels inside of your skin. You want to be looking for the post-person, not the mail. You want actives being delivered right to your skin’s front door. And you want them to be ones which are THE most well proven. Here’s that list my friend… Vitamin C as sodium ascorbyl phosphate (in Revolution Skincare Dark Spot Corrector)– this active also sometimes has the brand name of STAY-C 50. How covert eh. It’s brightening and gets in the way of your skin making melanin. It’s a protected form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which means it’s a load more stable aka more love/active for your skin.

Overall Take

Why we love it: Chemistry-led, high-street (and mamabella) favourite, The Ordinary continues to take the beauty industry by storm with this winning formula. Knowing this makes it super simple to find age protecting skincare which works – that’s because you now know what an age protecting active needs to do i.e. protect or boost collagen and elastin. Ferulic acid (in Revolution Skincare Dark Spot Corrector)– potent antioxidant found in plants which gets in the way of your skin over making melanin. Copper peptides– ever grow blue crystals as a kid? Copper is the reason why they were blue (!) You’ll find copper in basically every cell of your body (but in tiny amounts because 1) you don’t want to look like a smurf and 2) in large amounts copper is toxic) – copper plays a super important part in skin healing and collagen health and renewal.

At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.

They help loosen up the dirt and grime from your skin and hair to allow for water to wash it away with ease. Wherever you see cica on the Revolution Skincare range, you can rest safe and easy that it does contain centella asiatica – the soothing herb with history.
