Sunday Riley Juno Antioxidant + Superfood Face Oil works as an average fit for skin with dark spots because, while it provides great antioxidant protection, it lacks specialized ingredients to effectively address pigmentation concerns. A treatment for this skin needs ingredients like niacinamide and propolis that effectively target dark spots while keeping normal skin calm. ### Which ingredients make this treatment a good fit for skin with dark spots? This oil lacks specialized ingredients to effectively address dark spots, though blackberry seed oil and blueberry seed oil provide great antioxidant protection for overall skin health. To truly fade dark spots, skin of this type needs targeted brightening ingredients like niacinamide and propolis. ### What does Blackberry Seed Oil do for skin with dark spots? Blackberry seed oil helps protect your skin from the sun and may prevent skin aging, which is useful for skin with dark spots. It contains natural extracts that have been shown to provide strong sun protection in topical formulas. Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30565377/) ### What does Blueberry Seed Oil do for skin with dark spots? Blueberry Seed Oil helps nourish dry skin and keeps it feeling soft and smooth. While it provides good moisture, a product for dark spots also needs brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide to help fade uneven tone. ### Where does it go in a skincare routine for skin with dark spots? This treatment goes in your evening routine, as treatments with active ingredients are best used then for simplicity and extra safety around sun exposure. While it provides great antioxidant protection, this type of product for dark spots also needs targeted brightening ingredients to effectively address pigmentation concerns. ### Can I use this treatment with retinol, and in what order? You can use this treatment in your evening routine after cleansing and toning, and before your moisturizer. It is unlikely to cause irritation on normal skin, but for dark spots, a product of this type needs specialized brightening ingredients to effectively target pigmentation concerns. ### How often should I use it? You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your nighttime routine. While it provides great antioxidant protection, skin with dark spots needs products featuring targeted brightening ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or retinoids. ### Can this treatment clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for skin with dark spots?
