Fading marks

It’s not a quick fix, but I do think overall it’s helping to even and improve my skin tone

Excellent for acne scars

This is my favorite product for helping to eliminate post acne hyperpigmentation.  It had a hearty price tag, but it’s worth it as results are evident.  Very gentle on sensitive skin,

Coming back for more

I’ve bought this product twice and and am enjoying the benefits. I do use a variety of products but this has been a nice bonus while I’m pausing my Hydroquinone use and I still want to see benefits to combat my hyperpigmentation.

I had high hopes

This has not worked. I have some slight discoloration on my upper lip. I’d hoped  it would help. Nada. 2 stars because hope springs eternal.

Received bad bottle

So the bottle I got was in a dark amber color. I used it 2-3 times and had a reaction. My skin turned red. So I stopped. I do have very sensitive skin. I don’t know if I got a bad one or it’s just wasn’t for my skin. But it wasn’t in a light yellow color and it was dark amber which meant it wasn’t as effective

Slow - good results though

It takes a while to see results but they’re good. I think ultimately the best results are the future ones - meaning if you do get future spots, acne, etc, this will make a huge impact on how bad they will be. As for existing spots, I’m not impressed - but with ones that I’ve gotten since using this product for about 8 weeks, I am very impressed at how quickly they disappear.

Great Results

I love this product! Definitely saw improvements with my discoloration and texture. Will absolutely purchase again. I recently got a chemical peel so I'm excited to use this once the peeling is complete.

High Hopes

I bought this product when I was pregnant as you have to really stop using a lot of your other good skin care products due to pregnancy I feel like the supplies really well I won't say that I've had any amazing results from it but I will say that I feel like these products are more of a long game product you continue to use them and you to see the results and I typically get pretty significant melasma during my pregnancies and I did not notice any worsening of that while using this product
