Uneven skin tone
If the skin around your mouth does not match with the rest of your face, you are not alone. Uneven skin tone is a common skin concern, and it can be tackled by using the right skin serum. An effective budget-friendly serum in India for uneven skin tone is the Lakmé 9 to 5 Vitamin C+ Facial Serum. Enriched with Kakadu Plum (the world’s highest source of Vitamin C) this serum mildly exfoliates the skin and corrects skin discolouration. It strengthens the skin barrier, making it more effective at tackling multiple skin problems like premature ageing, sun damage and dullness to give you brighter and even looking skin.

Dark spots
Dark spots and blemishes left behind by acne can make your skin look dull and uneven. This can be corrected by using a brightening serum. The Lakme Absolute Perfect Radiance Skin Brightening Serum contains vitamin B3 (strengthens skin barrier), hexylresorcinol (evens out skin tone), witch hazel (soothes the skin) and micro-crystals (polishes the skin) to give you brighter and blemish-free skin.

Dry and dull skin
Dryness is a common skin concern that makes your complexion look dull and sallow. Sometimes, moisturisers cannot penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin because of their thick consistency. Enter: Serum. The consistency of serum makes it easier to penetrate deeper into the skin and nourish it at the deepest level. The Lakme Absolute Argan Oil Radiance Overnight Oil-in-Serum is an excellent product to take care of all your dry skin woes. The goodness of argan will not only keep your skin nourished for a long time but will also give it a healthy glow.
