Brighter face

I have been using this item consistently as directed for over a month. My face has brighten a lot more and after a few weeks my hyperpigmentation has lighten around my cheek area. I will likely get the item again only if they have their Skinceuticals sale discount, which is not that often unfortunately and wish the regular price was not too steep. I also don't like the packaging for I like to see the amount of product left in the bottle.

Not impressed

I used this for about a month alongside my vitamin c serum in the morning. I really enjoy the texture of this, it's thicker than the c serum and easier to apply as a result. However after a month of use I cannot see any changes in my skin. I don't have a lot of discoloration or dark spots so it's possible this will work better for someone who does but I don't feel like this has done anything to even out the discoloration I do have.

Not sure it works?

I wanted to wait until I finished the bottle before giving my review. While I liked the texture (similar to an oil) since my skin is dry; I'm not sure it faded any of my pigmentation. Maybe I need more than 1 bottle? But given the price, it is hard for me to justify continuing just in case I will see results. 3 stars since the product felt nice and was easy to apply and did not cause any adverse reactions.

Noticed a brighter complexion immediately

I got a sample on my May's beautyfix beauty box last month and I noticed results immediately. After a week of use, my husband kept asking what I did to my face because it looked brighter and lighter. This was the only product I had incorporated into my skincare routine!! I'm impressed

SkinCeuticals

It hasn't faded my sunspots but I can tell the difference in my skin tone. My face looks brighter. A little goes a long way.

Ok product

This product was just ok for me. When I used it for the first time, it made me breakout on my forehead, which is the area I have a lot of acne scars. After using it a couple times I did not see a difference, but I think that's because I would have to use it for much longer.

Keeping at it..

always hard to tell if a product is working when you're using so many other products as well - how to know which is the cause of your good results?! That said, my skin looks great and I repurchased this product

Hopeful will continue to see results

This will be my second bottle. I am seeing some results. I have adult acne and olive skin which tends to redden after acne. I know that fading of redness can take some time so I am hopeful to continue to see results

Love this!

This serum is great for skin discoloration! It doesn't take much so use it sparingly.

Not sure yet

This product SHOULD work, considering it is filled with amazing brightening ingredients. I've only been trying it for a few weeks and no difference yet. But hoping that if I keep at it, it will be worth the wait.
