Great product!

I have hyperpigmentation and acne prone skin. I love this product! It doesn't make me break out and helps with hyperpigmentation. You don't need a lot, so it lasts a long time.

I specifically use this on my decolletage

Another Skinceuticals product I use to help protect my investment of laser procedures. I specifically use this one on my decolletage because that area needs care, too. As someone trying to look my best, these products do what they are meant for.

Alright

Used entire bottle on a consistent basis, once daily, with my usual daily sunscreen and didn't notice any changes in discoloration. Even purchased a second bottle to see if it needed more time. Still didn't notice any big changes. It didn't irritate my very sensitive skin, which was a plus!

Discoloration Defense

I purchase my skin care products from Skin Ceuticals and the Dermstore. The serum products when first opened are a clear light yellow and over time transition to a dark orange color.  To my surprise, the product I purchased from the Dermstore was the dark orange color when I first received it..I’m not sure if the cap open or what happened, but I am dissatisfied with my purchase.

Slowly but surely

This product glides on easily and absorbs quickly. I think it's going to take some time to see real results but it has a lovely feel and marries well with the other items in my AM routine.

Disappointed

Received the serum and it was dark brown in color. Initially I thought that it was normal, and continued to use it . Now I am noticing that my facial skin is at least 2 shades darker than my chest, like I have been in the sun and tanned. I wear spf 46 everyday, even while I am indoors. Very disappointed with the quality control. Who knows how long this has been on the shelf.

Concerns
