Immediate Change

Have been using this for years. I see immediate results following application as the color of the serum helps blur skin tone. Over time it reduces discoloration of the skin. Goes on easily after vitamin C serum and before moisturizer. Soaks in right away. Definitely recommend!

Just meh

I didn’t notice this helping me with any discoloration. The CE Ferulic serum is way better at reducing discoloration and dark spots. Would not repurchase.

No significant change

I did not see any significant lightening of dark spots. For the price, I expected it to work as well as prescription dark spot treatments.

Great for sensitive skin

I use this every night under my moisturizer.  I can’t use retina A products due to sensitivity. So this has become my go to. It takes a while to notice a difference but after consistent use it has made a difference in my complexion and small dark spots.

Dramatically Helped Hyperpigmentation

I was devastated after a chemical peel went wrong and left me with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I went to the dermatologist who said bleaching my skin was the only way to help. Being darker/deep olive tone the idea of bleaching my skin terrified me. I found this discoloration product and I’m so grateful it has significantly improved my skin with 2.5 weeks consistent use day and night. I was in tears when I thought I destroyed my skin, this truly gave me my confidence back and significantly helped with my skin. Worth every penny and avoided bleach!
