Why Is It Better To Use Dark Spot Treatments At Night?

During our sleeping hours, our skin is hard at work repairing itself and absorbing any skincare products we may apply. The skin's nocturnal recovery phase is vital in detoxifying and replenishing. That's why I recommend the overnight cream to complement the Phyto-Blanc Collection daycare.

My Experience

My first time trying the Phyto Blanc collection was a small format of the brightening serum. I used it for two weeks and saw terrific results, so when I heard of the NEW overnight treatment, I just had to get it. I have long suffered from hyperpigmentations on my cheeks, and although other treatments have faded them, nothing worked as well as the Phyto Blanc. The overnight treatment significantly improved my general skin comfort thanks to the deeply hydrating and nourishing texture. Over time, my skin has become more plump, and the appearance of dark spots has visibly reduced. 

My everyday routine includes the new Phyto-Teint foundation (review here, it is perfect for this time of the year, so lightweight, and I love the natural finish), and Phyto Blanc Buff and Wash Facial Gel (review here).

What's Inside?

Key ingredients in this amazing cream are:

• Rainbow Algae Extract: This powerful active is the key to reducing dark spots and detoxifying the skin. 
• Phyto-Blanc patented complex: The exclusive Phyto blanc formula can be found throughout the collection and is designed to prevent and correct dark spots and dull skin. 
• Vitamine E Acetate: This well-known skin care activity helps block out free radicals. 
• Bisabolol: This natural ingredient helps soothe the skin overnight, ensuring a fully refreshed and smooth look in the morning.
• Glycérine of vegetable origin, Pro-Vitamine B5, Shea Oil: This trio of actives is the key to restoring hydration levels within the skin and also helps protect the skin from any external aggressions or damage.

Key Benefits

• Intense hydration 
• Skin softening
• Replumping action
• Targets hyperpigmentation and darl spots.
• Reduces dull skin

A fluffy melting texture.

If you are wondering what texture the NEW phyto blanc overnight cream has. The Sisley night cream has a highly frosty and airy-light texture that instantly melts into the skin. Along with this delightful sensation comes a wave of Lavender and Marjoram to ease away your daily concerns.

Are There Any Final Points?

I recommend this night treatment for its great texture and results. It is one of the most enjoyable steps of my nighttime skin routine. Suitable for most skin types, it will perfect your skin and deeply restore it to its healthiest self.

The Phyto-Blanc Corrector (Universal)

Targeting your dark spots no matter your age, gender or skin type, the Phyto-Blanc Targeted Dark Spot Corrector is your new skincare ally. Delivering quick and decisive actions to reduce and prevent dark spots, you will see results within 15 days of use. The corrector works on all types of dark spots. With an ultra-precise brush applicator, you can easily apply the formula on the face, neck, décolleté, and hands. Also, the Phyto-Blanc Collection is not new to me; I have used their products on and off, based on my skin's needs, for the last few years. (review here)

The corrector is a fine, slightly iridescent emulsion that delivers immediate radiance to the needed zones. Apply Phyto-Blanc in the morning and evening before your serum and follow up with a light massage for a few seconds. This helps the product to be absorbed quickly.

How does it work?

Sisley's new Phyto-Blanc Targeted Dark Spot Corrector offers two actions that work hand in hand to keep your skin looking clear and smooth.

• Brighten

The Phyto-Blanc complex is a blend of four carefully selected ingredients. Vitamin E Acetate and Bisabolol protect the skin from external aggression, which is responsible for the overproduction of melanin. Combined with the other actives, they fight against the appearance and size of dark spots.

• Targets older and extended dark spots

Using new scientific research in treating dark spots, Sisley has incorporated a recent active into the targeted corrector. This active was selected to reduce the appearance of older dark spots that become more widespread with time. Their treatments impressively target old and new dark spots for the first time. They do so by using Meadow Bistort extract.

What Causes Dark Spots To Appear?

It is no mystery that our skin shows signs of age as we age. But we can prevent dark spots from appearing. There are three leading causes of dark spots and pigmentations in the skin:

1. UV rays and pollution: Unprotected over-exposure to the sun's rays is extremely hard on the skin. Although you may not notice it initially, your skin can develop dark spots over time.
2. Aging: As we age, our skin's structure changes, which can cause dark spots to spread over time.
3. Skin imperfections: I am sure we have all been told not to “pick our skin”, and there is a reason behind it. Not only can it lead to scarring, but it can also cause dark spots to appear.

My Review

I was super excited to give Phyto-Blanc Targeted Dark Spot Corrector a go, as I have a few dark spots on my face, and this works! I paired the corrector with my usual hydrating “Ecological Compound” cream (review here).

The corrector leaves a non-greasy finish to the skin, and after twelve days, I could already see my dark spots fade. What a dream! Sisley also continues to improve their plastic consumption by making their items recyclable. It's an excellent initiative, and I would love to see more companies doing this.

If you already use a Serum in your skincare routine, you might know the importance of it. If you do not use one and are unaware, here is why you need a serum. The serum is designed to be applied in a thin layer after skin cleansing but before a moisturizer. The formula of a serum delivers concentrated ingredients in a texture that allows it to absorb easily into the skin.

The key ingredients in a serum target to address a very particular concern, making it an ideal addition to the daily skincare routine to see visible results in a specific area. In other words, it is a focused, targeted, and concentrated product that helps with a specific skin need or concern like dullness, dark spots, wrinkles, dryness, and more.

The Science & Chemistry Behind The Formula

The formula contains a patented complex of four active ingredients that act on all four stages of melanin production for a targeted anti-dark spot action. This complex fights the appearance of dark spots on the skin’s surface. The external environment (pollution, UV, etc.) and lifestyle (smoking, stress, etc.) cause oxidant and inflammatory micro stresses leading to an imbalance of the melanocyte and the overproduction of melanin. Vitamin E acetate and Alpha-bisabolol of natural origin are powerful soothing antioxidants that fight against the overproduction of melanin.

My Thoughts

Phyto-Blanc Pure Bright Activating Serum has been a very nice addition to my skincare routine. My medium skin tone takes forever for the dark spots to fade. I was very excited to try this serum which targets pigmentation and dark spots. After using this serum for over a month now, my skin is brightened and dark spots are reduced. My overall complexion looks luminous and uniform. Also, the creamy fresh texture glides onto the skin and transforms to leave a soft and velvety finish.

It sinks into the skin without leaving any residue. I apply my moisturizer after this serum – both day and night – of course, SPF during the day. The makeup sits on well over it without any issues. In conclusion, my skin does look bright with faded dark spots. And it is definitely what I was expecting from this serum. It is suitable for all skin types. I follow with a hydrating serum or moisturizer when my skin needs extra help – especially in this cold weather.

I prefer exfoliating my skin before I use any masks or bi-weekly. It helps the serum and other skincare products absorb better. My current favourite is Gentle Facial Buffing Cream.
