Helped minimize dark spots

This serum helped minimize dark spots. It has a nice consistency and no obvious smell. I would repurchase

Discoloration Defense

I have just started using this for the last two weeks and notice a difference in the age spots on my face. I've tried a few other products in the past, but I think this one is the one that will work!

Discoloration Defense works!

I had a sun spot that appeared on my left cheek, right under my eye. I started using this product and within 2 months the spot was gone! AND it has not returned. A few months ago I started doing laser hair removal on my upper lip and was exposed to a little too much sun. I ended up with a large dark spot on my upper lip; I've been using the product for about 2 weeks and I already see results. This DEFINITELY has worked for me.

So so results

This is a nice serum but it works very slowly on skin discoloration . It would probably take two bottles to see results depending on the pigmentation

Great for acne scarring

I have been using this product religiously for about 13 weeks (1 whole bottle - 3 drops, 2x a day). No scent, easy applicator, and doesn't irritate my skin. I suffer from hormonal acne on my jawline and lower cheeks. I've really noticed a reduction in the redness and scarring from these. I also have freckles and some melasma after two pregnancies. Haven't really noticed a change in these, but they are older and more stubborn. I will continue to use with fingers crossed.

Brightness Serum

This product is a staple and I use it twice a day. I notice an immediate difference in the brightness of my skin. It truly helps even out skin tone. I will definitely continue to purchase!

My new BFF

I was a tad skeptical when I first read about the product. I thought, hmmmm, what have I got to lose? Half way into my first bottle, I saw an improvement. Now, almost done with my second bottle, and my third is waiting to be opened. I had a large sun brown spot that has lightened tremendously. Other smaller discoloration had diminished as well. I do use this in conjunction with the Retinol 1.0. Permanent component in my skin care regimen.

Dermatologist recommended

Just bought this product because of my derm's recommendation to treat my mild melasma. I have been using it for 2 weeks and have had no adverse effect to it, but the effectiveness remains to be seen. I also have been a long time user of their C E Ferulic which I absolutely love, so I hope that the combination of these two will work!

No change

I've been using this twice a day for several weeks and I've seen no difference in my skin at all. The reviews were very mixed about this product but I decided to purchase it anyways. I would not recommend this product especially for this price point.

Recently started using this serum

My dermatologist recommended this serum to me to help with some (somewhat minor) discoloration I have on my forehead/cheeks. I have been using this twice a day along for about 2.5 months and see a little improvement. Nothing drastic yet, but I'm going to stick with using it. I also use this with Skin Ceutical's phloretin serum + mineral SPF every morning.
