Battle of the spot correcting products

Hello all!



I have been changing my skin care regime since the end of last year as I feel that there are some changes as to "how well" certain skincare products worked on me.

Pimple scaring is one of the major major issue that I face for many years. As I grow older, I realize that my pimple scars are taking a longer time to fade off which annoys me a lot.

I used SK-II whitening spot specialist since the end of 2011 till December 2012 but personally I don't feel it improved my skin much during that period of time. It does help to speed up the process but not as much as I feel it should have. I switched to using Kiehl's about a month ago and am very happy with its results. I have been using this product together with Kiehl's over-night biological peel ( which i use twice a week and will do a review on it soon).



SK-II whitening spots specialist:
- no distinct fragrance
- feels thicker as compared to Kiehl's
- skin feels a little dry when using it especially during winter

Kiehl's clearly corrective dark spot solutions:
- no distinct fragrance but its smell reminds me of Tea tree products
- is more "liquidity"
- does not cause skin to feel noticeably dry

As of now, I feel Kiehl's clearly corrective dark spot corrector is more worthwhile as it works better and is less expensive than SK-II.

This review is my personal opinion, it may work the same way or otherwise for others depending on your skin. =)
