Otentika Maxitone Fade Cream Review of Side Effects

Image
Let's dive into my first encounter with the Otentika skincare line. It all started with a recommendation whispered to me through the grapevine. Initially, I dipped my toes into the Otentika pool with their Maxitone fade cream, housed in a charming pink container.

Finding a product designed to not only shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays but also to combat hyperpigmentation and signs of ageing, would be the ultimate goal. Let's delve into what made us decide to write about this product. Manufacturer and Intended Use: Bioderma is the mastermind behind Photoderm SPOT SPF 50+. According to Bioderma, this product is meticulously crafted to provide very high photoprotection while specifically targeting hyperpigmentation and scars.
