Aveeno Positively Radiant Targeted Tone Corrector


Aveeno Positively Radiant Targeted Tone Corrector #RadiantWithAVEENO 

  I received the Aveeno Positively Radiant Targeted Tone Corrector from Influenster a few days ago and as soon as I was notified I was pleased. I had already been using the Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer (SPF 15 UVA/UVB sunscreen) for a few years.

 Just to give you a bit of my personal skin history I was actually recommended to start using the moisturizer by a dermatologist a few years ago. I began having problems with my skin completely changing from normal to completely dry patches and entirely affected by rosacea. I tried going to the drugstore at first and buying creams over the counter that didn't work at all. Then decided to go to Macy's and try the redness relief line (which was pretty pricey for what it did- but that's a story for another day). So, finally with my skin completely broken,dry, and already affected in tone I decided to see a professional and was actually prescribed a couple of things an addition to incorporating the Aveeno moisturizer since it not only has SPF but also claims to even out tone and texture. I stuck with it, and it worked quite well; my skin has improved now over time but I still have darker areas on my face from where the skin was badly damaged.

 Of course, getting the  Aveeno Positively Radiant Targeted Tone Corrector was absolutely good news because I do have skin that needs improvement with dark spots and to even out in tone. Which is precisely what the tone corrector will do!

Here is some info from the back of the packaging:
"Positively Radiant Targeted Tone Corrector is clinically proven to fade the look of dark spots and uneven tone after just two weeks, with continued improvement over time. This effective, yet gentle formula combines ACTIVE NATURALS Total Soy Complex-one of nature's most effective dark spot and uneven tone fighters-with vitamin A to reveal softer, smoother, more radiant skin that lasts. Works for all ethnicities."

The tone corrector is oil-free, non-comedogenic, and non-irritating. I have been cleansing my face and adding the tone corrector before moisturizing in the morning and before bed. I would agree that it's gentle and has had no negative effects as my skin can be quite sensitive. Now, going back to update on my skin it has changed drastically where about five years ago it was suffering and horribly dry; it completely flipped in the last two-three years became oily/combo (neither is pleasant, I wish I could just go back to normal skin). However, with that being said I can appreciate that the Aveeno line is oil-free and will not affect or irritate my skin.

As far as actual results to the naked eye (as of today it's too soon-using  the corrector), I'd like to give it more time-because I have to be a realist and know that just as my skin was affected over a long period of time with different contributing factors the skin needs time for repairing itself even with the aid of products. But I'm glad I can start targeting problem areas and hopefully see an improvement.
