Discoloration Defense

I have been using this product for the past few weeks. It is a light serum that is easy to apply. Although I haven't noticed any of my freckles or other sun damage spots lighten, I feel my skin tone is less red and it appears more even. I think that time will tell if this serum is able to lighten sun spots, but overall I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Skin smoothing

I have been using this product for a few weeks now and have noticed an overall more softer and even skin tone. However, I have yet to see a diminishment in my dark spots. More time is needed to discern whether this is a great spot target treatment or not.

Not sure yet

I have been using this product every day for a few weeks now and haven't seen a difference in my dark spots. My skin does feel good and soft from the exfoliation it offers. But I will give it a few more weeks and see.

I can see a difference

I have been using for about a month and my brown spots have diminished noticeably.

So far, so good!

I purchased this right when it became available. I use many Skinceutical products as they all seem to work so well for me. I've used it faithfully for almost 4 weeks. I believe it will take up to 12 weeks to notice anything, but I actually think my skin looks even brighter now. Some of the brown spots have gotten lighter but with continued use I'm confident they'll continue to diminish. I use twice daily after CE ferulic in the morning and after Resveratrol in the pm.

new product

I have just started using it 2 weeks back. No bad reaction , was getting excessive dryness so stopped Retin A for now. Will use the entire bottle and then will have a better idea if it works. On the whole have been using Skin Ceuticals products for over a year and like most of them, they work. So I am thinking this should too.

Seems to be working...

I have been using this product for about 3 weeks and my skin does appear to be more even. I use in the morning and evening after CE ferulic.

So far so good

I have been using this for a few weeks now, in the morning after applying C E Ferulic and every other night (I alternate with a prescription lightening cream). I had Fraxel to remove melasma on my cheeks and so far this product has seemed to help keep my skin looking even. I've noticed the most improvement in reducing post-acne marks and also in reducing the redness on my cheeks caused by the prescription cream. I have oily skin and a lot of serums make my skin look shiny but this one soaks right into my skin, which I love. Overall, I like this product and will continue to use it.

Realitively Effective

I have been using this product for about About two months. I wouldn't purchase again. I think skinmedica and obagi are better quality

So far so good.....

I purchased on the advise of my skin dr, after I had my most recent Fraxel to remove pigmentation. She said this would help maintain the results. Ive been using the C E Ferulic for 15 years, and the Physical Fusion SPF for 5.... Seems like a good compliment to that regime.
