Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing benefits for your normal skin, as squalane and shea butter hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, though these ingredients do not specifically target your main goal of pigmentation.
- The formula provides general skincare benefits supportive of overall skin health, but lacks targeted ingredients to address pigmentation concerns.
- The product is safe for your normal skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM and PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply this moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your morning SPF.
- Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing it too hard so it absorbs nicely.
- For the best moisture, you can apply it when your skin is slightly damp. This helps your skin stay soft and happy.
- Remember to avoid the eye area when applying. Always do a patch test before your first use.
Questions and answers
How well does Sisley All Day All Year work for skin with dark spots?
Sisley All Day All Year works moderately well for skin with dark spots because squalane and shea butter hydrate dry areas, though it lacks specific brightening ingredients to fade dark spots. A product of this type needs effective brightening ingredients alongside moisturizing components to properly address dark spots.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for skin with dark spots?
This cream is an average fit for skin with dark spots because it hydrates with shea butter and squalane, but it lacks targeted ingredients that directly fade dark spots. A top-performing product for this skin needs effective brightening ingredients alongside hydrating agents to tackle pigmentation while keeping skin soft.
What does Butyrospermum Parkii Butter do for skin with dark spots?
What does Squalane do for skin with dark spots?
Squalane helps keep skin soft and smooth, but it is unlikely to directly fade dark spots on its own. For hyperpigmentation, this type of product needs added brightening ingredients like vitamin C or antioxidants to help even out skin tone.
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for skin with dark spots?
This moisturizing treatment goes in the morning routine after a hydrating toner and before sunscreen, or in the evening routine after your treatment step. A skincare product of this type for skin with dark spots needs ingredients that actively brighten skin and fade discoloration.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream with retinol, and apply it after your retinol treatment to help keep your skin soft and comfortable. This type of product works safely alongside active ingredients to help protect your skin barrier, though skin with dark spots also needs targeted brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide to fade discoloration.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing treatment daily to keep your skin soft and hydrated, though you will need a targeted dark spot corrector with active ingredients to properly address your pigmentation goals.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for skin with dark spots?
This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores on your skin, as it has a very safe profile with no harsh ingredients. However, a product for skin with dark spots needs targeted brightening ingredients to help fade discoloration.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizing treatment around the eyes and on your body, as its safe formula with squalane and shea butter is unlikely to cause irritation. Products used for these sensitive or thicker areas need gentle, hydrating ingredients like squalane and shea butter to protect the skin barrier.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
