Olay Dark Spot Correcting Body Lotion with AHA, Vitamin C & Niacinamide 502ml

Olay Dark Spot Correcting Body Lotion is an exfoliating daily moisturiser developed to improve the appearance of stubborn dark spots, discolouration and uneven-looking body skin.

Its pH-activated formula combines lactic acid, a gentle AHA, with niacinamide and a stable vitamin C derivative. Lactic acid helps remove built-up surface cells, while niacinamide and vitamin C support a brighter, more even-looking skin tone. Glycerin, panthenol and moisturising emollients provide lasting hydration and help leave the skin feeling soft and smooth.

Olay Dark Spot Correcting Body Lotion is suitable for daily use across the body. The fast-absorbing formula provides up to 24 hours of moisture and is clinically tested across diverse skin tones, including melanin-rich skin. Olay reports visible improvement in stubborn dark spots and discolouration in as little as four weeks with consistent use.

Best for

Ideal if you want:

• A daily body lotion for dark spots and hyperpigmentation
• Help improving post-acne marks on the body
• A more even-looking body skin tone
• Gentle AHA exfoliation without using a separate body treatment
• A lotion containing niacinamide and vitamin C
• Softer, smoother and more radiant-looking body skin
• Long-lasting moisture with a fast-absorbing finish

Consider another option if: your skin is highly sensitive, irritated, freshly shaved or reactive to fragrance and exfoliating acids. The formula contains lactic acid, added fragrance and colourants. AHA products can also increase sun sensitivity, so sunscreen should be applied to exposed areas during use and for one week afterwards.

Key ingredients

Lactic acid

An alpha hydroxy acid that gently removes built-up surface cells, supports skin renewal and helps improve the appearance of dark spots, dullness and uneven texture.

Niacinamide

Vitamin B3 helps support a brighter and more even-looking skin tone while contributing to moisture retention and skin-barrier comfort.

Vitamin C

3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid is a stable vitamin C derivative that provides antioxidant support and helps improve visible radiance and discolouration.

Glycerin and panthenol

Moisture-supporting ingredients that help keep the skin hydrated, soft and comfortable while using the exfoliating formula.

Melas approved because…

It combines daily body moisturising with targeted ingredients for dark spots and uneven-looking tone, reducing the need for several separate body-care products.

Lactic acid provides gentle surface exfoliation, helping remove dull, built-up cells and supporting smoother-looking skin over time.

Niacinamide and a stable vitamin C derivative make the formula particularly relevant for visible discolouration, post-acne marks and uneven tone across deeper skin tones.

Glycerin and panthenol balance the active formula with lasting hydration, while the lightweight texture makes consistent full-body use more practical.
