hi guys! i signed up for an influenster account* around the end of june and got my first review box (free!) less than two weeks later! yay! i was sent a full-size tube of aveeno's positively radiant targeted tone corrector (ret. ~$14.99 for 1.1oz). #RadiantWithAveeno ~Lindsay-chan ^.~
packaging:
i think it's really funny how different the tube looks in relation to how it's depicted on the box. i do like how it's nice and portable and easy to dispense from. the opening is just flat..not really much to say about it... after a while, i put a tube squeezer onto it to ensure i get every drop.
product & use:
this product is white & has a light floral-ish fragrance. texturally, it is like a light moisturizer. used to gradually fade dark spots or discoloration on the skin.
directions:
apply to desired area AM & PM before moisturizer. use sunscreen when using this product because it contains retinol (among other things) which may increase sun sensitivity.
my experience:
i primarily used this on my chest and shoulders. in middle school through high school i had really bad acne on my face, back, chest, and shoulders; and as a result i have a lot of acne scarring in those areas [and i'm a picker!]. since it's kinda hard for me to get these kinds of products onto my back, i didn't bother trying for this review. most of my scars have faded back to something close to my skintone, but it's possible that it's because i used both clinique dark spot correctors in original & clinical several years ago when they first came out. aka: my skin wasn't too bad before using this product.
i did not take any pictures of my skin for the two weeks i was using this product, but i think that this product has helped. when we went on vacation at the end of may/beginning of june i got a really weird shaped sunburn on my shoulder..just one shoulder..? >.> anyway i feel like this product helped even-out the sunburned area faster than it would have on its own. i also think that some of my newer acne scarring (post-clinique products) has faded a little too; they're less red now and closer to my skintone.
at the end of the two weeks, just applying it to my shoulders and chest twice daily, i have used about half of the tube. i have combo/oily skin and occasional allergies that i regulary take zyrtec for--i had no issues with skin irritation or allergic reactions. and the scent is light and unoffensive--so no migraines!
the verdict:
i do think that this is something worth picking up if this is something you're interested in. or if you are interested in investing in a high-end tone corrector, i think this is a comparable product at a more affordable price tag that's worth trying first.
