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.

Does what it says

This product really does a nice job taking care of dark spots and making the skin appear brighter overall. The only downside is that you need patience. It does take time to see results but consistency is key with this.

Can’t tell

I’ve been using this for 3 months and can’t tell if it’s working…I think I see some improvement in discoloration.   But, I love the way my skin looks with it on, and my overall skin texture has improved.

Terrible Allergic Reaction

This may be a great product but for me it caused a terrible, itching, red patch, bumpy reaction. I tried several times with the same reaction. The irritation went away as soon as I stopped using it. Hopefully it works for others. I wish I had thought to ask for a refund as it's very expensive.

Terrific product

I just started using this product for brown spots and noticed a big improvement right away. I’ve been using Vitamin C ferulic and this seems to be more powerful with no problems or downside Definitely including it in my daily routine

Your Best Defense

Discoloration on your face can make you appear older than you are. This product has helped me lighten spots. This serum is amazing. I use it in combination with Phloretin CF with Ferulic Acid to treat dark spots and the results are dramatic and evident in a short amount of time with application 2X/day.

Helpful!

Helpful product…consistency is key! I do feel like the end of the bottle, the product turns more than it should but still enjoy it.
