A difference

After about 2 weeks I can definitely tell a difference in my dark spots and my skin seems brighter. I definitely recommend.

Very happy with this product

Have been using for about 6 months. I'm African American with hyperpigmentation. The product does not bleach, just overall lightens my hyperpigmentation, and doesn't exacerbate my acne. I use it with SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic twice daily.

This is a good product!

My dermatologists said this is the best product for discoloration. I get dark spots, freckles on my body after spending too much time in the sun. I like products without sunscreen because most sunscreens clog pores. I have oily skin and I have to use products that match my skin type. This skincare product does not clog pores, will not cause acne. It is very safe for most skin types. I am very happy with my purchase and I will not return this purchase. Best product ever!

No visible results on melasma

I've been using this serum daily, at least once a day and often twice a day on my melasma. I'm sad to say that after 3 months of daily application, I see no results. Right now I'm torn as to whether I should buy another bottle in hopes that this needs more time to work, or if I need to try something new. I've tried so many products but melasma is relentless :( I see from other reviews that this has worked well for many others but for me this just hasn't delivered as I hoped.

Didn't see much results

I was recommended this for post acne spots but did not really see results after a few weeks of usage. I was not sure if it is going to work so I returned the product in the long term. That is why I love Dermstore for making it easy!

Good for acne scars

I use it every morning, after my vitamin c serum- ascorbic acid, and as instructed, followed with spf 50 sunscreen. Doesn't make my skin irritated/ breakout/ caused any tingling. So far i'm impressed with its ability to fade new acne scars. Hopefully it can also works for old marks. One thing though, my spots look redder than usual before finally fading.

Improve dark spots

This helped to fade a large dark spot I had on my forehead. I love the texture, and it soaks into the skin quickly.

Brighter Overall

Brighter skin: yes Targeted brightening: no, still the same Purging: on & off using the bottle (finished it 2 days ago). The worst was the first month, but it wasn't terrible. I would suggest this for first signs of aging and use after too much sun in the summertime. Good bang for for the buck in the the product (used every other evening) lasted almost 4 months. Not totally sold, so I will continue hunting for the Vitamin C product that works the best for me.

Great Product

Much better product that their previous color corrector. This works really well for dark spots and acne scarring. It is also moisturizing more than drying. You can use it in the summer without further damage to yous skin. I am 43 with acne and rosacea and sensitive skin.

So far so good

I love SkinCeuticals products and they usually work well for me. It's still a little early to tell but I'm hoping for a dramatic improvement to my dark spots. The consistency is a tad bit oily but it does pair well with my other skincare products and it spreads very easily. I'm not a big fan of dropper bottles. I would have preferred an airless pump.
