without overdrying as is AMBI® Essentials Gentle Cleanser which gently cleans down to the pores. Women of color, because they have more pigment in their skin, are likely to be more affected by hyperpigmentation — the dark blotchy skin that sometimes appears on faces, elbows, knees and underarms. “Hydroquinone is the ‘gold standard’ in effective skin lightening and safely fades dark spots,” explains dermatologist Dr. Jeannine Downie. “The highest percentage you can get over-the-counter is 2 percent, which you can find in products such as AMBI® Fade Cream.” Always remember that a good defense is a good offense. Sunscreen helps prevent the development or the darkening of dark spots. AMBI® EVEN & CLEAR® Daily Moisturizer has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 and the AMBI® Essentials Daily Moisturizer has an SPF 15 which provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. While AMBI® has extended its facial care line to many new options, it also launched a body care line starring AMBI® SOFT & EVEN® Creamy Oil Lotion. For all over body comfort, this lotion relieves dry skin instantly and naturally locks in moisture for 24 hours. See more SOFT & EVEN® moisturizers and the whole family of AMBI® brands on page 2.
