Dark spot correction

As I get older ation spots on my face are becoming more noticeable. Making an effort to do what I can to make them less noticeable. I have been using this product pretty religiously for the past month. I do think my skin looks better. Time will tell just how effective, it may be. But so far so good.

Unsure if it’s doing anything

I think this does work, but it’s hard to be certain.  I’ve been using it for 7 months and my discoloration from acne scars seems to be a bit better in that I think the discolorations takes less time to dissipate.

Good product

You can’t go wrong with Skinceuticals.  Very pricey but products I’ve tried are all worth it.  Although this product did not take away dark spots it seems to have lighten them with repeated use.  Would buy again.

REALLY WORKS!

I’ve used this for years.  Initially, began fading my age spots.  Later, not only eliminated aging spots; but keeps my skin clear of aging spots.

Discoloration assistant

I have been using this product for over a year and it dramatically keeps the discoloration (brown spots) under control. I live on west coast and outside a lot and if i dont use this product for 2 weeks, it is a visible difference. I have used ever product out there and once again skin ceuticals provides quality and results.

Love it

This product is great! Lightweight and user friendly, my spouse and I use it daily. So far we have noticed some small fading of darker pigmented areas. Skinceuticals did not disappoint with this product.

So far, so great

I've only been using this a few weeks but I have already noticed that my skin is brighter and fine lines are less noticeable. I bought this product to combat melasma which is my main skin concern, so I'm interested in longer term outcomes but at this rate I have very high hopes.
