made me break out

I have very sensitive skin.  As much as I wanted to like this product because I love using SkinCeuticals products this made me break out.  But Dermstore is awesome.  I returned it for a full refund.

Will continue to purchase

I was told to use this by a dermatologist as part of my regimen to help with melasma. I use a few drops morning and evening and I've been using it consistently for several months (in conjunction with some other treatments) and I do think it has made a difference. I plan to continue using this indefinitely in order to prevent the appearance of any future discoloration. Definitely recommend.

Another fav from SkinCeuticals

Great texture and little goes a long way. I've added it to my night routine and I wake up to brighter and healthier skin. I've sensitive skin but so far no troubles.

This stuff is for real

Wow! I got this in April and have used it 2x a week since. I am fair / olive skin and really struggle with hyperpigmentation. Any pimple leaves a red mark for months. This stuff has seriouy faded my existing red marks / scars. I havent found anything that's worked this well. Truly does what it promises. Worth the cost.

Still Deciding

Received a sample of this and just started using it. Already using a couple other Skinceuticals serums that I love and am sure I will end up adding this into the routine as well!

Good Product

This stuff really does work! I have very dry and sensitive skin so this product made my skin a little more sensitive to the sun even though I was wearing sunscreen. Overall this product definitely did what it claims and I will continue to use as a spot treatment on certain areas of my face that need it.
