Getting rid of pesky age spots, sun damage, and other hyperpigmentation on the complexion is tricky and can require expensive treatments such as IPL lasers. However, with the right skincare formulas, you can significantly reduce the appearance of brown spots for a more even-looking skin tone—and one of the best skincare brands with formulas for getting the job done is Pevonia (and, more specifically, its Micro-Retinol Essential Moisturizer).

The spa skincare brand is known for its esthetician-recommended formulas that aren’t found on the shelves of stores like Sephora, Dermstore, or ULTA and are instead offered in-salon for more targeted skincare treatments. But, you don’t have to make a spa appointment to get your hands on their skincare elixirs. You can find these potent formulas—including the retinol moisturizer—on the brand’s website. 

The Best Anti-Aging Moisturizer for Dark Spots

The Pevonia Micro-Retinol Essential Moisturizer is one of the best anti-aging moisturizers out there, thanks to its ability to reduce hyperpigmentation on the skin, including how well it fades dark spots and other skin imperfections caused by sun exposure—it’s literally like IPL in a bottle. It’s formulated with micro-retinol to promote cellular turnover on the skin and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as squalane for deep nourishment, marine collagen for elasticity support, and elastin for stronger and healthier-looking skin. 

This skincare superstar is also clinically proven to reduce the look of blemishes on the skin for a more even tone and texture while also supporting a youthful-looking glow. And, despite its retinol inclusion, some sensitive skin customers say it’s gentle enough for daily use. 

“I have very sensitive skin and gradually used this to get my skin acclimated,” writes one customer. “It does exactly what it says it should do!! Resurfaces and smooths uneven texture Moisturizes and illuminates,” they add. 

“I love this retinol cream because it doesn’t burn my skin like other products, yet it makes a difference still,” another customer remarks. 

Another thing to love? Even though it features retinol, you can use the cream morning and night—so long as you practice good skincare habits like wearing SPF during the day and covering up with a hat when in the sun. 

Size: 1.7 oz 
Key Ingredients: Micro-retinol, squalane, marine collagen, elastin
Who It’s For: Mature skin types with concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, dry skin, and loss of elasticity
