I was lucky enough to be selected to try this product as part of the review club. I was very excited to try it since there are some brown spots on my face that are becoming more and more noticeable. I liked the packaging and the tube sits nicely on the counter taking up minimal space. I did have issues opening the cap the first time and ended up squeezing some product out before I was able to twist the cap off making a slight mess under the cap.
I am diligent about washing my face twice a day and used this product after my regular face cleansing routine. First impression when I squeezed the product out of the tube is that it was quite runny and watery. It was easy to apply and absorbed nicely but it was not enough as a standalone moisturizer as my skin did not feel hydrated. I had to wear a moisturizer on top to prevent my skin from feeling dry in some areas.
I have not used it for the minimum 4 weeks to notice results so I will report back when I reach that mark. After over 2 weeks of use I notice that my skin is brighter but the dark spots have not changed much. Overall I liked the product as it smelled nice, did not make my skin feel greasy or cause any reaction but I simply prefer a thicker and more hydrating moisturizer.
I received this product for free to test out from ChickAdvisor (thank you!). I've been using it consistently for over 2 weeks now but so far I have not seen any noticeable result. The instruction said that noticeable results after 4-8 weeks of use so I might post another review. I have quite a big sun spot on my face so I took a picture to see whether the Dark Spot Corrector would lighten the spot - so far, nothing. I used this once a day and the night dark spot corrector at night time. I do, however, like the tube packaging as it dispenses nicely and the scent is very wonderful. The gel/lotion glides on very nicely and smoothly and it absorbs really fast. I do apply an SPF on top every day as well. The texture is light and fresh.
I received this product free of charge from the Product Review Club.
After using it once daily for 4 weeks, i have not noticed a reduction in any of my dark spots.
Hopefully by using it twice daily as is indicated in the instructions, i will see better results.
I did not find the corrector moisturizing enough to double as a moisturizer, so unless you have oily skin, i would recommend you layering a moisturizer on top.
I like that this product has a light, pleasing scent.
Up front, I received this product as part of Chick Advisor's Product Review Club.
My facial return is pretty consistent, but I love mixing it up and trying new products, so I was super stoked when I was selected for this - and received not only this, but the ProEven Nightly Corrector as well. I've been using them both since I received them (Nightly about 5 wks on/off and daily about 3wks twice a day) and also use my Clairsonic Mia every day like clockwork (also from the Product Review Club - LOVE it).
First of all, the packaging for both products is spot on - a high end look of luxury for both the box and the product itself. Looks pretty spiffy on my bathroom counter let me tell ya ;) My only complaint with the packaging is actually the tube itself that it comes in - it was surprisingly difficult to get the cap off without either a) twisting the nozzle off with it, or b) squeezing excess product out before the cap came off.
I used ProEven twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening. I DID notice that my skin appeared brighter and more even after about a week. That said, I have some acne scars and one brown age spot specifically, which I did not see much change in. That said, I do know the product says it should be used for a minimum 4 weeks before you may see that kind of change, so perhaps I'll have a better update in a few weeks.
The biggest downside for me: It seemed a bit..watery/runny for a moisturizer? I personally love a good thick/creamy moisturizer that feels like it's really hydrating my skin. This didn't do if for me from that perspective - it even suggests on the box that it may be used with other moisturizers. I was a tad disappointed in that, considering the price point it sells at, I would expect it to have a few more benefits to it.
All in all, I wouldn't say it was bad - the overall quality was fine, it did brighten like is said it would, but if I had purchased it, I would probably like something more all in one next time. That said, if you have a lot of dark spots, don't mind spending a bit for single purpose higher end products and are looking for something to help brighten you up, then maybe its for you!
First of all I cannot truly attest to the effectiveness of the product because I could only make myself use the product a few times. I found Vichy ProEVEN Advanced Daily Dark Spot Corrector left such a film on my skin that it made the rest of my makeup regimen pretty much impossible. I suffer from moderate acne and rely heavily on concealer to cover up my acne. The first time I used this product I tried applying my concealer right after applying the cream and all it did was rub off the cream and concealer. The concealer would not properly cover my acne and I ended up pretty much rubbing off all of the cream in order to get proper coverage. The second time I tried the product , I waited for 5 minutes for the product to soak in before applying concealer. It didn't matter as the exact same thing happened again. In the future, I will only use this product on days when I am staying home and do not need to cover up any acne.
I received my Vichy ProEVEN Advanced Daily Dark Spot Corrector in the mail a couple of weeks ago for free from Chick Advisor and @VichyCanada in order to try it out and give my honest opinion. The first time used this product I was very pleased. It smelt amazing and did not cause any skin irritation at all. Unlike the Vichy ProEVEN Night Cream you can use this Dark Spot Corrector more often. I used it daily for about one week and loved how my skin left. It was moisturized and gave my skin a more uniformed, even look. My red acne scars are starting to fade. I am very pleased that I have had no adverse affects from this product. I usually react in a negative way to most face products. I either break out or end up with super itchy skin. Vichy ProEVEN Advanced Daily Dark Spot Corrector is working great so far. I will continue to use it and hope to see my red splotches completely disappear before too long. #VichyWorksForMe and I will definitely tell my friends about this one. It is a little pricey but it is worth it if it works.
I received this about 2 weeks ago and have been using it daily since - I haven't noticed much of a difference in my dark spots but it does give my skin a smoother texture and seems to make it look a bit healthier. This is a nice product and the vitamin C is a great benefit!
I've been using this product for almost 3 weeks. Honestly, I'm not seeing a difference. I've been using it with the ProEven Night (almost 5 weeks of use). Maybe I need to use it a little longer. My skin is generally very sensitive to products and I have very dry skin as well. I haven't had any problems with it or had issues with my skin drying out. I will continue to use it until it's gone to see if there is a difference.
I had an allergic reaction to one of the two products & had to stop using them w/in three days, so I can't really have an opinion on its effectiveness.
Editor's Note: if you have questions regarding the use of this product, you can contact L'Oreal's Canadian Consumer Care Center (information is printed on the box).
After using this product for a couple of weeks, which I know is not quite long enough, I don't notice any difference. It may take more time, but I have experienced light breakouts, so I'm not sure it is the right product for me. At the price, I do not think I will continue using it.
