Excellent Product for Results!

I’ve used this product, along with other SkinCeutical products , for over a few years.  It’s the best program for me.  I had sun damage that has completely faded over the last 18 months. This product works.

Great Add to the Routine

This product has evened out my skin tone. I had a VI peel last year and it brought out some uneven skin tones and after 3 bottles of this product I can no longer see the discoloration. My facial esthetician says that as we age we need to continuously fight discoloration so I am grateful to add this to my routine.

Discoloration Defense

The serum is tinted brown and goes on easily.  I have been using for about a month on my whole face, but bought for the purpose of fading a particular age spot on my cheek. I believe it may be too early to make a judgement as this spot is   persistent..

This serum makes a difference!

I’ve used this product for a couple of years.  It definitely works! I had a small amount of scaring-discoloration on my face from a surgery.  The surgery discoloration was over 10 years old.  This product faded my discoloration by 200%. Barely visible with no makeup. I will always use this product.

Absolute Game Changer!

If there is one product to splurge on, it is definitely this one. It has faded some older acne scars and has also help lessen the appearance of dark circles.

Fades sunspots on chest

Got a sample and used on my chest to clear up years of sun damage. Was impressed how quickly sun spots faded, so bought a full-size and continue to see improvement. Gave 4 out of 5 because it's spendy, and I had tried a sample on my face, but didn't see the same results (in fairness, my face needs more help than my chest).

Did not notice a difference

I wanted to love this product, as I'm a big SkinCeuticals fan. Unfortunately, I noticed no difference despite using this product consistently for months. I specifically purchased this to fade dark spots and did not see a difference at all.
