La Roche-Posay Mela-D Dark Spots
Friday, October 28th, 2011
It used to be that most skin lighteners contained hydroquinone. However, in 2006 FDA proposed a ban on the over the counter sale of cosmetics with this ingredient that was so popular to reduce age spots and blemishes. So why the ban? Studies showed some evidence that hydroquinone had some cancer causing properties. 2010 studies also showed that there was a link between hydroquinone and ochronosis, a condition where the skin gets dark and thick. Skin care companies have since found alternate ingredients to use for skin lightening. For example, La Roche-Posay’s Mela D Dark Spots contains Kojic Acid and LHA. You can use this as a daily moisturizer for age spots, sun spots, liver spots, and freckles. It’s also safe for sensitive skin. We tried this for a week and noticed a difference. We really liked that since it’s non-greasy we could use it in the morning beneath our makeup and at night. We noticed a nice improvement, but found that their other product, Mela-D Serum, gives faster results. If you haven’t heard of La Roche-Posay it is a skincare company that bases its products around healing thermal spring water. Their products are all designed not to irritate delicate skin so they are fragrance free and tested on sensitive skin.
Here is a resource for those who have a passion for beauty and want to learn more.

L’Oreal Skin Genesis Multi-Layer Cell Strengthening Moisturizer
Friday, January 29th, 2010
The world is your oyster when you go into the drug store looking for a moisturizer for dry skin. However, if you want a fantastic moisturizer that won’t leave your skin greasy and won’t dissolve your makeup, it’s a hard search. We like the new L’Oreal Skin Genesis Multi-Layer Cell Strengthening Moisturizer. They have a lot of technology and research behind it; but the end result is that the moisturizer is absorbed right into your skin when you put it on, leaving your face perfectly primed for foundation. This moisturizer is said to soften fine lines, brighten skin, and minimize pores. We found that it did the best job at pore minimizing. The bonus? This moisturizer also has an SPF of 15.
