Fade Out

Hi everyone, its beauty talk time! A few months ago, my cousin told me about this new (not sure if its new but its new to me) skincare brand called Fade Out. It fades pigmentation, age spots & freckles, giving you brighter and even skin tone, hence the name fade out. I read some good reviews about it so I decided to give it a try. I haven't got many freckles but a few comes out when its sunny and it is really annoying! I bought a day and night cream. Not sure about you but I haven't seen any face moisturiser that specifically indicates that it targets freckles, this is the first one. 

Fade out Protecting Day Cream

The day cream is formulated with SPF 15 to protect the skin from sun damage; wrinkles and dark spots. As well as fading pigmentation, discolouration and age spots, it also prevents the skin from darkening by penetrating deep into the skin's outer layers preventing the melanin from reaching upper layers of the skin. Although it doesn't say 'anti-ageing' but it does indicate that it enhances the cell renewal process. 
Pros
  • Very hydrating
  • Matte finishing look
  • SPF15
  • Affordable £9.18 for 50ml at Boots or Boots website.
Cons
  • Skin stings a little right after when you apply- just keep massaging the cream in and the stinging will gradually go. I think this is due to the the citric acid in the cream.
  • Doesn't leave your skin feeling silky, feels a little sticky.
  • Has a weird smell, smells like an unripe banana


Fade Out Night Cream


This night cream is very thick and a little will go a long way. It has the same functions as the day cream except it doesn't have sun protection but repairs the skin with its rich formula to nourish and hydrate skin over night. 

By far this is the best and most hydrating night cream I've ever used. But it also stings your skin a little.

Pros
  • Very hydrating-hence the thickness
  • Affordable £9.18 for 50ml at Boots and Boots website
Cons
  • Stings your skin a little
  • Some may not like the thickness
  • Sticky finish
  • Smells like an unripe banana
The Result? Does it work?

I know you're probably longing for this part. Apparently it is clinically proven to brighten and even skin tone in 4 weeks. Well, I've used this for about 2 months now, I would say my skin does look a bit brighter but not sure about fading the pigmentation out. It's July now and here in the UK, we haven't really had a proper summer...well... we had summer for about 1 week in May (which is when my freckles came out) otherwise mainly rainy and cloudy days. So not sure if its because of that reason that my freckles have faded or its actually the result of the Fade Out cream.
