Works for lighter spots

I used this product for a few months and noticed that some of the lighter spots on my face were improving. I use it in combination with CE Ferulic to help with my melasma and sun spots. I would recommend it!

Doesn't work

Had such high hopes for this product and was eyeing it for such a long time for mostly acne scarring but obviously due to the hefty price I kept putting it off, after finally purchasing it and using it for such a long time I'm disappointed it honestly doesn't do anything and it was a total waste of money esp being so expensive.

Caused my skin to be yellow

I really wanted to love this product but it made my skin yellow. My problem area is above my lip so it literally made my sun mustache even worse! Ugh.

Great product!

I have been using this every night for about a month and a half. I apply it after my CE Ferulic Serum. I absolutely love this serum! I'm 37, medium-olive skin tone, sensitive, dry skin. I have some sun damage and hyperpigmentation. I can tell a huge difference in the evening of my skin tone. This product is worth every penny!

Disappointed and now have a Rash

I was really excited to try this product I really thought it was going to work since it was so expensive but all it did was give me itchy skin and a few rashes & my skin is no where near being sensitive so I'm not sure why the turned out so awful for me it was also very sticky & that was something I didnt expect.

Effective over time

Lightweight, Non irritating and effective over time, I typically pair with Vitamin C serum for better results.

Very effective

I just started to see melasma. This product has very quickly started to fade the spots. I will be purchasing this again.

On the fence

I am on the fence about this one. I use it twice a day religiously: morning, 30 minutes after Obagi 20% C serum, and evening before retinol. It has been three months, and I think my face may be a little more even toned, but I have acne scars from my youth and post acne hyperpigmentation from the one large cystic pimples I tend to get once every couple of months to contend with. The one spot of post pimple pigmentation that arrived just as I started using this serum has faded, but it may just be the normal fading timeline and not related to the serum. I just ordered a new bottle since mine is on its last drops, so we will see how another 3 months goes.

Lovely Addition

Too early to see a difference of reduced hyperpigmentation (on week 2), however, texture is nice - reminds me of CE Ferulic (which I also use and LOVE).
