I didn't see any change

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I received a sample in by beauty box and also one from my esthetician. After using both bottles, I didn't see any difference. I will stick with my vitamin C from this line instead.

Brighter face

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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?

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

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

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

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..

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.
