The more time passes, the more age-related dark spots appear on my face.  Can anyone recommend a really effective product?

signs of the time

I purchased Oulac products from France.  Have any of you tried them?  Can you give me your honest opinion?

Oulac products

I accidentally purchased two Avène 50+ face creams that were too dark in color.  Do you have any tips for lightening them or am I forced to give them away?

wrong color

Purchased for my teenage daughter.
The cream has a light consistency, which is quickly absorbed.  The fragrance is very delicate and non-invasive.  It has a sun protection factor that protects the skin in both summer and winter, therefore two products in one.  It can be used as a make-up base once dried because it has a smooth consistency and does not form clumps.  Used consistently, it helps regulate the normal balance of the skin, avoiding the appearance of pimples and blemishes.
 I don't think the cost of the product is high, given the brand.

When I purchased this protection I was not told that the fluid would be better for my combination skin type.


This cream offers very high facial protection for skin intolerant to chemical filters and perfumes for adults and children.  It has a rich, creamy texture and is unscented.
 Photoprotective, antioxidant, highly water resistant.
 It is suitable for all phototypes
 The Mineral Screen Cream SPF 50+ is composed of:
 - A mineral filter for very broad and photo-stable UVB-UVA protection that offers optimal skin tolerability.
 - Provitamin E, an antioxidant, to protect cells from free radicals.
 - Avène Thermal Water, known for its soothing and softening properties


 How to choose between a mineral sun fluid and a mineral sun cream?
 Choose the texture of sunscreen based on your skin type.  Opt for a fluid if you have normal or combination skin, and a cream if you have dry or very dry skin.
 

VICHY NORMADERM 3 IN 1
 125 ML
 I purchased this product for my daughter, a teenager with problems of excessive sebum, imperfections and the formation of blackheads.
 I chose this product, recommended by the pharmacist, because it is a 3 in 1 product suitable for the inconstancy of teenagers, who perhaps get tired of using multiple products.
 It is also hypoallergenic, suitable for sensitive skin, and does not create redness.

 A single product with ingredients with an exfoliating effect, a skin soothing agent and 25% clay in a creamy texture.

 Here's what it is:
 - an exfoliant to open pores;
 - a cleanser to reduce excess sebum and impurities;
 - a mask to improve clarity and brighten the complexion.
 In short, nothing miraculous, but it helps keep the skin clean and prepared to receive targeted dermatological products.  Plus it doesn't cost much, which is no small thing😜

this formula is not clean by Byrdie standards (contains PEG compounds), although it is free of parabens and dyes.
It's a product that costs a lot, even though it was an excellent purchase for me

I've been wanting to change the moisturizer I've been using for a long time.
 I researched a lot about the brands, then I relied on my trusted pharmacist who recommended this product to me.
 And I have to say that this purchase was excellent.
 It is recommended for all skin types (I in particular have combination skin) and is hydrating and anti-aging.
 It has a plumping effect and improves the appearance of fine lines
 This product is expensive but the proven, high-quality ingredients are worth the expense for soft, hydrated skin.
 This cutting-edge formula isn't just high-quality hyaluronic acid, though: it contains other ingredients that help it reach its full hydrating potential.
 This serum in particular contains 1.3% pure hyaluronic acid.  In addition to hyaluronic acid, this serum also contains proxylane, licorice root and purple rice, which help support hyaluronic acid, improving overall plumpness and firmness and decreasing sagging skin.
 
  The product has a gel-serum consistency.  Its texture is slightly thick but after application, my skin is hydrated almost immediately.  I was advised to apply the serum after cleansing and before moisturizing, while the skin is still damp (this helps further draw moisture into the skin).  Once it has had a second to absorb, you can apply sunscreen in the morning.
 I've been using it for about three weeks and I'm fully satisfied with my results.  It really does what it says on the tin and has given me more hydrated and healthier skin from the first use.

This sample was given to me free to test.
 Skinceutical Hydrating B5 has a
 light texture, and it is
 deeply hydrating, even if my skin needed to be strengthened with a cream in the tight spots.  The texture is great and plumps up fine lines, increases the moisture content of the skin.
 Can be used on face, neck and chest to hydrate and soothe.  It's also super gentle.
 It is not a cheap product, but there are two considerations to make: the SkinCeuticals brand is reasonably priced considering the research and evidence that accompanies its products and also the list of ingredients is extremely limited (four to be exact), so you don't pay for filling ingredients.
 The two main ones are hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5
 I would definitely buy it.
