Great ingredients

I purchased this product because I wanted to try Tranexamic Acid for hyperpigmentation I have. I have been alternating this product with a retinol at nights and I like it so far. The texture is great and doesn't leave a sticky residue. I haven't noticed much change in 2 weeks of using it, but I have seen that blemish spots are fading faster than usual. My only concern was that this serum looks darker than the picture. There is a disclaimer about oxidation on the bottle, so I attributed the difference more to photo editing than anything else. The bottle is opaque so I don't think that is much of an issue.

One of my favorite brands!!

I just starting using this product, I'm alternating between it and SkinCeuticals C and E Ferulic acid everyday. I may try to use only this one to see if I can get results sooner. I have several dark spots on my cheeks that I'm looking to lighten. I do like the weight and feel of it. My esthetician calls the SkinCeuticals C and E Ferulic acid a game changer so I'm hoping this product will be as well.

good ingredients, but didn't work for me

I have a stubborn dark spot on my face from a burn where I missed sunscreen. Unfortunately, this serum didn't improve that dark spot, even though it does have great ingredients. I enjoy Skinceuticals products, despite their cost, but will not be repurchasing this serum, as I am looking for something more effective.

Actually works!

I've only been using this product a few weeks and already noticed all around brightening effects. Brown spots and old acne marks are significantly lighter and my skin has more of a lit from within glow to it! I use Them after a daily light peel which I think Really enhances their effectiveness.

Works wonders

I had acne scars and this product really worked wonders on my skin. The scars have not completely disappeared ( I didn't expect a miracle ) but have significantly reduced in appearance. Giving it four stars because the product is a little expensive

Love this post summer

This has helped reduce some of the sun spots that I noticed popping up this summer.

Seems to be working

I am using this product in conjuction with another one from the Skinceuticals correct line (advance pigment corrector), and my skin discoloration seems to be fading, although quite slowly. This serum is pricey, but I trust Skinceuticals products, so I prefer to pay extra to get good quality.

Good but not great

A little of this goes a long way but I felt like after four weeks I didnt notice any change in my skin even with using retinol, glycolics, and SPF 50 everyday. I noticed more of a change with the Lytera 2.0
