Clarins calm-essentiel redness corrective gel: £30, Clarins

This is another product that isn’t strictly for pigmentation but helps with it nonetheless. It has a light-blue colour to it, which might put you off at first but don’t let it – on application, it’s completely clear and has an instantly soothing effect on the skin, almost as if you’ve just put aloe vera on a fresh sunburn.

After two to three days, skin appears smoother and more even, while existing blemishes also started to fade – another added bonus to this multi-use gel. We would recommend this for all skin types as an essential product for any discolouration or texture issues, while its price is also fairly decent for such a highend brand.
