Skincare junkies and scientists alike agree the best skincare is the kind that works synergistically with our skin. That is exactly what Neutralyze seeks to do with their acne treatments; by harnessing the already magical powers of our skin and incorporating even more inflammation fighting ingredients to heal, soothe, and calm. Neutralyze also sets themselves apart by incorporating Nitric Oxide into their formulations and utilizing an effective and scientific approach to the complicated world of acne treatments. Let’s meet their newest launch, the Brightening Spot Corrector and go through all the specs (including my real results)!

Why Use A Dark Spot Brightening Cream?
After stubborn acne marks go away, dark spots are often left behind. This is known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and can be difficult to treat! Often time, these dark spots last longer than the initial pimple- making it a frustrating skin condition that sends thousands to the skincare aisle every year.
Any skin condition such as this needs a specific ingredients list to treat. A dark spot treatment cream will go to work on those areas of the face, even out the entire skin tone and help brighten the complexion.
What Causes Dark Spots/Hyperpigmentation?
These dark spots seen after a pimple are due to inflammation or injury to the skin, producing more melanin. This is especially common in darker skin types, but can be seen in anyone!
We also see dark spots due to sun exposure and aging over time. And, they can occur anywhere on the body including the neck and face.
The brightening dark spot remover for the face from Neutralyze will help counteract the excess melanin production while also soothing inflammation- a key that many skincare treatments leave out. Dark spot treatments also require consistency, so you need to enjoy the product you are using daily on your skin. I love that this dark spot cream comes in a pump, is super creamy, and layers well with any products I apply after.

Breakdown of Dark Spot Treatment Cream Ingredients
The trio of arbutin, vitamin c and niacinamide in the Brightening Cream are credited to improving the appearance of dark spots over time. As an esthetician, I’m no stranger to these powerful ingredients! They’re strong enough to increase cell turnover (necessary to lighten dark spots), while also being gentle on sensitive skin types.
- Arbutin – derived from natural ingredients, tyrosinase inhibitor- meaning it helps prevent dark spots from occuring. Can be used on sensitive skin types and in combination with other lightening ingredients (source)
- Vitamin C – antioxidant that fights free radicals, shown to be effective in lightening dark spots (source) with little to no irritation to the skin
- Niacinamide – known as vitamin B3, helps minimize the look of pores & regulate oil production, reduces inflammation, shown to improve the appearance of dark spots (source) with little to no irritation to the skin
This trio of powerful skin brighteners along with a creamy, soothing feel make the Neutralyze Dark Spot Corrector one of the better products I have tried for my hyperpigmentation!
My Results with the Neutralyze Dark Spot Corrector
I got some serious results after only two weeks of daily use! These photos are both untouched and taken in natural lighting. I wanted to showcase my hyperpigmentation on the left side of my face that I’ve been struggling with for a long time. I was super impressed at how well the dark spot treatment cream actually worked for me, and without any irritation! I was sure to consistently use the treatment along with daily cleansing, moisturizing and sunscreen.
