Manufacturer’s Claim
Divine Derriere Skin Lightening 6% AHA Cream promises to correct dark spots and skin discolorations caused by environmental damage. This product is designed to rid the skin of signs of aging like hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. At the same time it is meant to hydrate the skin to give it a more healthy appearance. We will be determining how effective the product is at doing these things.
Formula
- Hydroquinone
- Glycolic Acid
- Lactic Acid
- β-White
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Niacinamide
Hydroquinone targets the biochemical pathway that produces a pigment called melanin which is over-expressed in dark spots. It works very effectively and is pharmaceutical grade but it has been associated with skin cancer and skin irritation to the point that it is banned in many European countries. Glycolic acid helps to break down and remove accumulated dead skin cells on the top layer of the skin. This helps the other ingredients get into the living skin cells and also gets rid of the dull appearance of skin. Lactic acid has a similar effect. β-White is a patented ingredient that is very similar to a protein that markedly improves cell division and tissue healing. The last two ingredients nourish the skin and have some antioxidant properties.
Instructions
Before using this product it is suggested that the face is cleaned and toned. Then a thin layer of Divine Derriere Skin Lightening 6% AHA Cream must be spread over the areas of discoloration twice a day. It is very important to wear sunscreen during the day as sun exposure will reverse the effects of the product and could even make the skin worse. The manufacturers also suggests applying a moisturizer after the nighttime application.
Cost
The product is currently on sale for $55 instead of the listed price of $82.99. The manufacturer also has a loyalty program where customers can get up to a 20% discount for signing up. We couldn’t find any subscription service for this product. Free shipping is offered to all customers within the United States of America or customers in Canada whose order is over $50.
Guarantee
The product comes with a guarantee. Under this guarantee, customers can return the product within 30 days as long as no more than one third of it has been used. The full purchase price minus the shipping cost is returned to the customer with a successful return. This guarantee is slightly problematic to us because it is valid for a short period of time and only allows a customer to try a very small portion of the product. These sorts of products generally take time and volume to work so it is difficult for customers to decide based on this limited exposure.
Divine Derriere Skin Lightening 6% AHA Cream Review – The Bottom Line
The manufacturer’s instructions on this product are quite simple and clear and the cost of this product is fair. There are problems that exist with this product, such as the dangerous ingredients included in it and the limited guarantee which doesn’t protect the customer as much as it should. We believe there are products of better quality than this one on the market.
