As a blogger, I mainly get my inspiration and source from scouring the internet for the latest information on skin lightening and pigmentation correcting breakthroughs. But often times, I learn of great products from you guys - which IMO is the best kind of posts to blog about because it has real experience to back it up. 

Someone e-mailed me their own personal review of the Peter Thomas Roth Radiance Oxygenating Serum yesterday and their experience with this product got me incredibly excited and eager to share! The woman who wrote me was interested in fading a stubborn tan (which was not a perma-tan though), several dark spots all over her face due to sun exposure and acne, and a dull complexion. After using this serum twice daily for 7 weeks, her skin is the best it’s ever looked and her tan has faded. 

It experiences with products like these that make me love blogging about skin lightening. In a market that is filled with duds, it is always awesome to discover quality skin lightening products!

The Peter Thomas Roth Radiance Oxygenating Serum contains some of the best ingredient I have seen a serum/essence in such a long time! The active ingredients just run the gamut of excellent skin lightening agents, it’s no wonder it worked so well for her. 

There are so many great ingredients in here it would be way too lengthy to explain in detail, so here’s just a brief overview of the ingredients:

Symwhite (phenylethyl resorcinol) is the same ingredient found in Dr. Ci Labo’s Super White 377. A plant extract derived antioxidant powerhouse that works very at disrupting hyper melanogenesis.

Gigawhite is one of my favorite ingredients that ALWAYS works on my skin. It’s basically a name for the combination of 7 alpine plant extracts that synergistically lightens overall skin tone. Backed up by solid evidence.

Tyrosinase Inhibitors such as  licorice extract, bearberry extract, mulberry extract 

Ascorbyl Glucoside is a stable, vitamin c form

Aside from the active ingredients, the inactive ingredients are impressive as well. I’ve recently learned with the usage of Lantomi’s Skin Lightening Cream that my skin really likes squalene (an oil derived emollient). It is clear the serum has quite a few emollient ingredients and is geared towards dry skin types. On the official brand site, it is marketed toward mature skin types but honestly it can be used on younger skin.

This is a fantastic serum to add to a regimen. If you are looking for a solid, plant extract based skin lightening product – this is it!

The Peter Thomas Roth Radiance Oxygenating Serum comes in a 1oz (30 ml) vacuum sealed pump bottle. It can be found at Sephora and department stores which carry Peter Thomas Roth products. It can also be found readily online. The price is probably its biggest downfall though. The average retail price is about $65.00 =( It has a steep price tag, but if you have the money on hand and are looking for a serum to use this spring, I would recommend it. It’s got some excellent ingredients as well as a wonderful rave by a fellow reader!
