The experts from Vichy Laboratories are here to share all the details about their newest face serum.

Wrinkles and dark spots are two of the most common visible signs of aging, and both are made worse by daily aggressors such as UV rays, pollution and hormonal fluctuations. Most who experience both turn to dedicated serums for each of these concerns, while those who want to keep their routines on the simpler side may prioritize wrinkles over dark spots (or vice versa). With the Vichy LiftActiv Specialist B3 Serum, you don’t have to choose.

How does Vichy LiftActiv Specialist B3 Serum work?

This potent dual-action serum reduces the look of wrinkles and dark spots in just eight weeks. It owes its effectiveness to a unique blend of ingredients that works together to target dark spots and wrinkles in different ways for optimal results.

The starring ingredient is 5% niacinamide, which has been found to have myriad anti-aging benefits for the skin. Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide has been shown to help fade the appearance of dark spots, and it may also help reinforce the skin barrier to reduce moisture loss—in turn smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Glycolic acid is another effective, skin-enhancing addition to Vichy LiftActiv Specialist B3 Serum. This alpha hydroxy acid provides gentle exfoliation that helps reduce the buildup of dull, dead skin cells. It works to refresh the skin’s surface and its exfoliating action also helps reveal more even skin tone.

Although not an exfoliating acid, this formula also includes tranexamic acid. With a long history of dermatological use, this amino acid derivative works to reduce skin discoloration.

Finally, Vichy LiftActiv Specialist B3 Serum’s plant-based peptides add to its anti-aging power. These short fragments of naturally-derived proteins enhance the feeling of skin firmness to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Who can use Vichy LiftActive Specialist B3 Serum?

Beyond its effective ingredients for improving the look of wrinkles and dark spots, Vichy LiftActiv Specialist B3 Serum is suitable for sensitive skin and all skin tones. It is dermatologist-tested for safety, allergy-tested and fragrance-free. In a dermatologist-measured clinical study, wrinkles appear reduced and dark spots are visibly faded after just eight weeks of use. In addition, consumer testing shows 85% of people agree overall skin appearance looks improved and 78% of people agree their skin tone looks more even.

How to use Vichy LiftActiv Specialist B3 Serum

Are you wondering how to incorporate Vichy LiftActiv Specialist B3 Serum into your skin care routine? We recommend this four-step regimen to target wrinkles and dark spots.

Step 1: After cleansing in the morning and evening, start with Vichy LiftActiv Specialist B3 Serum. Turn the bottle upside down, gently squeeze the applicator tip to dispense the precise dose of two to three drops into your palm and apply to the entire face.

Step 2: Follow that up with the Vichy Peptide-C Ampoule Serum to protect skin from damaging free radicals that can worsen dark spots and further target fine lines, wrinkles and loss of firmness while enhancing skin radiance.

Step 3: Finish your morning routine with the anti-aging Vichy Peptide-C Broad-Spectrum SPF 30, which features plant-based peptides, vitamin C and mineral-rich Vichy Volcanic Water for rejuvenating, protective and soothing benefits. You can also use the Vichy LiftActiv Peptide-C followed by your sunscreen of choice.

Step 4: In the evening, use Vichy LiftActiv Peptide-C (without SPF) for overnight skin-brightening, repair and rejuvenation.
