Introducing a moisturizer specifically designed to treat discolouration on the hands. Even Better Dark Spot Correcting Hand Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 15 by Clinique, Recommended by Whom You Know!

While many women focus their attention on slowing down the visible aging process on their face, the skin on their hands continues to age and can often be neglected.  Don't ignore your hands!  According to a study conducted by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, most people can accurately tell a person's age by viewing only their hands.[1] Even with a youthful looking appearance, when hands are not taken care of, they can betray a person’s true age. 

As a leader in the discolouration category, Clinique recognizes that treating discolourations on the hands is a consumer pain point and is equally as important as the face. Utilizing a potent blend of brightening ingredients and moisturizers, NEW Even Better Dark Spot Correcting Hand Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 15 effectively diminishes the appearance of dark spots, sun spots and brown spots on hands while defending skin against environmental aggressors.   The SPF factor is a winner and making our hands retain their young appearance enticed us to try this product, and we are impressed with the improved appearance immensely!  You know Peachy is typing away all day and although the world may see her face, she sees her hands first...and having them at their best is key!

Even Better Dark Spot Correcting Hand Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 15 provides nourishment and lasting moisture for up to 8 hours and through at least 2 hand washings. Brightening ingredients penetrate deep within the skin’s surface to visibly diminish the appearance of spots and discolourations. Gentle exfoliators help restore clarity and uniformity in skin tone. Skin’s barrier strength is improved and better able to resist irritation which may cause excess melanin production as a result of inflammatory responses. 



Even Better Dark Spot Correct Hand Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 15 contains a cocktail of ingredients that diminishes the appearance of age spots, including: 



· Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C): This potent antioxidant and brightener helps protect against environmental aggressors while reducing the appearance of dark spots. 

· Advanced Yeast Blend: Provides effective brightening results by breaking up existing pigmentation as it clusters on the skin’s surface into melanin “dust,” helping to lessen the appearance of visible discolourations. 

· Salicylic Acid: Helps to give skin renewed clarity and improved skin tone through exfoliation, thereby helping to assist in the departure of melanin “dust” from skin’s surface. Improves overall texture of dry, rough hands. 

· Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate: Derived from licorice extract, this potent anti-irritant helps to reduce the effects of skin irritation that can lead to discolourations. 

· Hyaluronic Acid: This ingredient’s excellent water retention properties allow the skin to draw and bind moisture from the environment to replenish and plump dehydrated hands. 

· Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract: Recognized as an effective anti-irritant and free radical scavenger, this agent helps prevent the future formation of dark spots by fending against environmental assaults that can cause excess melanin production. 

· Avobenzone, Homosalate and Octisalate: These sunscreens offer broad spectrum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays helping to prevent the future formation of age spots and discolorations. 

Even Better Dark Spot Correcting Hand Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 15 is a fast absorbing hand cream formulated to protect, moisturize and diminish the appearance of dark spots. Appropriate for all skin types. Apply to hands in the morning and as needed throughout the day.
