Civant Meladerm Pigment Correction uses natural ingredients to counteract discoloration
I am a sunscreen devotee but still managed to get discoloration on my cheekbones. This discoloration is dark, like contour, right on the part of the upper cheek where the highlighter should go. And I have tried all kinds of creams and serums and even with concealer, this discoloration is still there. So I was pretty excited to try a Hydroquinone-free way to deal address dark spots, acne and scars. It combines ingredients proven to lighten discoloration with exfoliation ingredients to tackle all kinds of unwanted pigment issues.

The Experience
Just a pea-size amount is enough to spread very thinly over all areas of discoloration and uneven texture. I put it on acne scars, age spots, under my nostrils, and around my mouth.
It does not sting or cause irritated skin. I love that it is fragrance-free!
I used it daily and in about 3 weeks I saw a big difference in the evenness of my skin tone, my dark spots are lighter and seem smaller, even my decade-old acne scars. Next I am trying it on a childhood scar.
