Amazing Results!

Amazing, it's only been a few weeks and I'm seeing a tiny difference already. Extremely happy with my purchase.

Better than prescriptions!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Finally my stubborn melesma is breaking up and fading! I haven't found anything close to the results with this besides a bleaching prescription that my doctor gave me that caused severely irritated skin and dermatitis. This is a life saver, no irritation whatsoever on my sensitive skin! Downside.... the price is steep... but with results like this I already placed my second order.

Love it so far

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Still too early to comment on the affects - I've only used it for 2 days - but so far I love the texture and it spreads really easier. I've been using CE Ferulic as well and find that I don't need as many drops of discoloration defense to cover the same area. So far so good!

Discoloration Defense

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have only been using a couple of weeks and it seems that my skin is brighter. I have some sun spots on one side of my face that I hope this will lighten and notice other darkenings from age so hope to nip those in the bud.

doesn't work on me

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm buying this item due to good reviews on the website. I was hoping that it work for the price I'm paying for but I don't see any different on my face so don't replying on reviews because it's not necessary true.

This works!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm 46 and I have used sunscreen on my face daily for about 30 years. I'm fair skinned and normal daily activities would leave with a sunburn. So in high school, long before anyone was wearing sunscreen in their daily moisturizers (when the most I could find was SPF 15), I was doing so. My skin looks pretty good. I don't have a lot of discoloration or brown spots on my face and neck. But I have a couple that are pronounced and a few more around my eyes are popping up as I age. I got a sample of this and used it on only my spots and wow, what a difference I saw! They didn't go completely away, but they lightened so much that I couldn't see them under my light-coverage foundation. So I just bought this product again and I'm looking forward to seeing whether they lighten even more over time with consistent use.

Its okay....very expensive for what it is.

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I noticed a little brightening at first, and maybe a slight change in subtle skin discoloration, however not significant enough really to pay THIS much money for a serum.
