Clarant B3 Review – Best In Class?

Clarant B3 Overview

Ponds has been offering simple, affordable, skin care since 1846.  Based on the idea that beauty can be uncomplicated and easy to achieve, their cold cream and moisturizers have been a staple in women’s bathrooms and vanities for well over a century.  More recently, Ponds has ventured into the skin brightening arena with Clarant B3, dark spot correcting moisturizer.  Ponds Clarant B3 is a daily moisturizer that, with 4 weeks of use, will lighten dark spots from sun, age, hormones, or scars, and give your skin an even-toned, radiant glow.

Clarant B3 ReviewClarant B3 Ingredients and How They Work

Clarant B3 comes in two formulations, one cream for normal to dry skin and one cream for normal to oily skin.  Ponds Clarant B3 Normal to Oily is thinner and oil-free.  The normal to dry version is more creamy and hydrating.  But the lightening ingredients are quite simple and the same in each:

  • Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) has many benefits to skin.  It increases skin cell turnover and provides a moisture barrier to improve the look and texture of skin. It also blocks melanin from causing pigmentation in skin.
  • Vitamin C is also full of benefits for the skin.  It is an antioxidant, so it prevents and possibly even reverses damage.  It helps increase collagen to boost skin’s firmness and texture.  And it also inhibits the production of melanin, to reduce dark spots and hyper-pigmentation.

You are instructed to use Ponds Clarant B3 morning and night,and should see an improvement in the appearance of age spots, blotchiness, and overall texture in about 2-4 weeks.
