I love it

I have brown skin and it stains easily when I get a pimple and this product helps me reduce spots

For glowing skin

This is a great product, but needs time to work. I started seeing results in acne marks after a few weeks of consistent twice daily use. Extra sun protection is a must while using.

Unimpressed

I was very dissatisfied with this product. It smelled terrible and made my face itch. I used the whole bottle and didn’t notice even a slight difference

Light and easy to use

I think this product is light and goes on easy; I haven't used it for a month so I can't say if is doing anything to help with my discoloration. I plan to keep using it until I finish this first bottle and will try at least one more bottle before I decide whether it is helping with my discoloration.

Perhaps

Gal that performs exfoliation tells me that she sees results and she did not sell this product to me. Me. I say "perhaps."

Buy this now!

I should have taken before and after pics! I have only been using for 2 weeks, but can tell a difference! A little goes a long way! Worth the price!

Great product

I have used it because it was part of the Dermstore Solution Brightening system.  I use it almost daily in the AM like they recommended and have seen my cystic acne scars lighten. It goes on easily and other products layer on top nicely. 4 stars because the cost isn’t reasonable at all.

Great

It is slow and steady. I use it daily and it helps with hyperpigmentation . I apply it on my face and neck and when I am done whatever is still left goes on the back of my hands.

Helps prevent melasma from returning

I had very resistant melasma and was recommended to use this product daily in conjunction with my treatment plan. This topical has helped clear my skin and keep my skin looking brighter!

I continue to buy

I continue to purchase this product, along with the vitamin C serums to combat hyperpigmentation. I have seen small improvements - wasn’t expecting anything life changing (I get IPL for that).
