Works on brown spots!

This works miracles on my brown spots that I have from pregnancy and sun damage. I use this with Lytera 2.0 and works just as good when I am cycled off of my Hydroquinone cream.

Another winner from SkinCeuticals

I love CE ferulic but just wanted to try this for a change and couldn’t be happier it’s definitely less intense but seems to get the job done just as well without being irritating at all I have sun damage skin and it’s definitely more even

Great for oily skin

What I like about this serum is it isn’t hydrating at all so I can layer it under tretinoin at night. It also disappears completely so it’s great for daytime use as it doesn’t make sunscreen pill up. Ive only been using it for a month so can’t say whether it makes a difference in pigment issues but it is formulated in a manner that makes it effortless to incorporate into your skincare routine

Nice

Originally tried this as part of Best of Dermstore Problem Solution: Brightening Regimen and liked it enough to buy a full bottle. The dropper applicator makes it easy to control how much product is used. I've notice some of my lighter discoloration has disappeared after a week of use. The darker spots will take some time. The sample sizes lasted over a month so I think a full size bottle will give me plenty of time to decide if another bottle is worth it (I think it will be)

Zero results

This product yielded no results. I used it faithfully per the instructions, however, an area of hyperpigmentation remained the same. I was very didappointed, as this product is quite expensive.

Undecided

I’ve read consistently positive reviews of this product. My concern is how quickly it loses its efficacy (turns a brown colour after one month of twice daily use).
