7 Affordable Skin-Care Products I'm Using to Get Dewy Skin This Wedding Season

L'Oréal Paris 12% [Niacinamide + Amino Sulfonic + Ferulic Acid] Dark Spot Serum ($40)

I'm not shy about the fact that I have hyperpigmentation and have even accumulated my share of dark spots from chemical peels and skin-care treatments gone wrong — part of the consequence of trying everything in the name of skin care, I suppose. This serum has become my dark spot secret weapon this season. It contains niacinamide to help reduce the appearance of all types of dark spots, plus lesser-known ferulic and amino sulfonic acids to gently exfoliate the skin. I'm feeling like I could come out of this season with, dare I say, a campaign-worthy complexion.
