All of my life, I have had sensitive combination skin, that, in addition to being simultaneously dry and oily, is also prone to breakouts, blackheads, and large pores. It is hard for me to find a product that treats one of my issues without adversely affecting another in the process. So, when I learned that I had been selected for the #RadiantWithAVEENO VoxBox from Influenster, I was beyond thrilled. Having used Aveeno's Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer for quite some time with great success, I had definitely come to associate the Aveeno brand with gentle yet effective products. And now that I'm starting to notice some uneven skin tone and discoloration on my face, I wanted nothing more than for the Targeted Tone Corrector to work it's magic!
As expected, the Targeted Tone Corrector was as gentle as can be on my face. It didn't sting, leave a rash, cause a break out, dry out my cheeks, or turn my T-zone into an oil slick. In fact, it left my skin feeling silky smooth and looking brighter after just one use. Not only was I surprised that it seemed to work that quickly, but I was surprised it had worked at all considering the first time I used it was one morning after I had gotten literally zero hours of sleep. Yep, I had pulled an all nighter, which left my skin looking exceptionally dull, tired, and lifeless. After washing with a gentle cleanser, I applied a pea sized amount of the Targeted Tone Corrector over my entire face. I let my face dry and then began checking my complexion in every light source available - the florescent lighting in my bathroom, outside in the bright, bright morning sun, in my bedroom where natural light filters in only through a tinted sliding glass door. Without a doubt, my skin was noticeably brighter, and I'd say it was even luminous and glowing.
Unfortunately, these positive aspects were short lasted. I've used the Targeted Tone Corrector once or twice a day - every day - since I received it from Influenster, and I have not seen any permanent changes to my skin tone. There is a definite benefit to using it, as it does make my skin look wonderful (without makeup!) while it's on, but there is no marked difference to my bare skin and that is something I would expect this product to do based on the claims. I will continue to use it, because I think it works wonderfully as a sort of primer-highlighter hybrid, but I do not expect it to have a lasting effect on my complexion.
Above is the list of ingredients found on the AVEENO® Positively Radiant® Targeted Tone Corrector box.
