Loving this product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been using twice daily as directed for 2 weeks and have seen a significant improvement in my melasma. My discoloration is mild but noticeable when I'm not wearing makeup. This product has made my skin appear brighter and my skin tone is becoming more even. I love it.

Discoloration Defense

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

So far, so good!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

So far so good

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.
