Key ingredients

  • Hinokitiol
    Hinokitiol is Riversol’s signature antioxidant, derived from the Pacific red cedar. Riversol founder and award-winning dermatologist Dr. Jason Rivers was first introduced to its potential during his time teaching at UBC, and made it the foundation of Riversol formulas. Known for its antioxidant properties, hinokitiol helps improve skin clarity, brighten the look of dark spots and support a more even-looking complexion.

  • Niacinamide
    AKA Vitamin B3, a multitasking antioxidant working to prevent moisture loss, and smooth surface texture to brighten skin. Niacinamide has been shown in double-blind, randomized trials to be nearly as effective as prescription ingredients at reducing discoloration and age spots.

  • Tranexamic Acid
    The latest development in skin brightening, dark spot, and acne scar reducing research. Tranexamic acid has been shown in many peer-reviewed studies to lighten the appearance of dark spots and visibly even skin tone across a variety of skin types.

  • Kojic Acid
    A natural product of fermentation by various fungi, kojic acid helps disrupt the dark spot process and exfoliates to help uncover fresh skin cells.

 

DIRECTIONS & PRODUCT GUIDE

 

FAQ

 

Corrector V2 FAQ

Is it made for sensitive skin?

Yes. Developed by Dr. Rivers for sensitive skin, it's formulated without parabens and without added fragrance, including masking scents. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin irritation. Kojic and tranexamic acids fade the look of dark spots, and our 2-week start-up helps your skin adjust comfortably. Your first full-product order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

How long until dark spots look lighter?

Weeks to months, depending on how deep and how old the spots are: dark spots fade gradually with consistent twice-daily use. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher every morning is the other half of the result, because sun exposure can darken spots again.

Which serum is right for me?

Choose by your main concern. Anti-Aging Serum has 10 times the stabilized vitamin C (aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate) of our Anti-Redness Serum, for fine lines and uneven tone. Anti-Redness Serum has a lower level of vitamin C, formulated for visible redness. Corrector V2 helps fade the look of dark spots, and Hydrating Serum adds hydration and layers with all three.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Corrector V2 contains no retinoids. Its key ingredients are kojic acid, tranexamic acid and niacinamide, which help fade the look of dark spots. Your doctor or pharmacist can review the full ingredient list if you'd like.

How much do I use, and how long does a bottle last?

Three pumps over your face and neck: once a day for the first 2 weeks, then morning and night. Using more won't work better and can cause irritation. The 30 mL airless pump keeps it fresh and lasts about 3 months. That's how long it takes to use up, not how long it keeps once opened.

What order do I apply it in with my serums?

First, right after cleansing, morning and night. Let it absorb, then follow with your other Riversol serums and your moisturizer, as the directions say. Thinnest to thickest is the rule, which puts the Corrector first.

Can I use it with Retinol Treatment or the Peel?

Yes, with timing. On retinol evenings, use Corrector V2 in the morning only; on other days, use it morning and night. If you're starting both, begin with the Corrector for 2 weeks, then add Retinol Treatment. On Peel evenings, rinse the Peel off, then apply the Corrector as usual.

What is hinokitiol?

Hinokitiol is our signature antioxidant, found naturally in the Pacific Red Cedar and studied for decades. It's a natural antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant with other skin-revitalizing properties, and in our formulas it helps to even skin tone, reduce the look of sun damage and correct dark spots.
