Dependable

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've tried other products, however, after not seeing results from them, I've finally found one that really works at helping fade sun spots. I took a photo when I started, and then again after my third bottle---it's a visible difference! Happy, YES. Will I continue to use, YES.

Best product to combat discoloration

I started using this after seeing some mild brown spots on my cheeks and I’ve seen a great improvement in the appearance or lighting of said spots. Recommend this highly.

After about 2 weeks of using this, I started to notice my spots lightening in color. I've now noticed that some of them are gone.

I have melasma

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve heard great things about the company and their serums. I’ve been using this consistently for about 3 months now, I don’t see a difference just yet. But I’m determined to follow the regimen and wait the process out. Melasma is difficult to manage

Love this product!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this product. I am 73 years old and had spots on my left check, probably from the sun beating on my face while I was driving. After using this product, the spots disappeared! I continue to use it to prevent any more spots from rearing their ugly heads! I highly recommend this product!

So great! Bought another for when 1st bottle runs out

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Feel like this immediately started to lighten my melasma. Pair this with a weekly lactic acid treatment and red light therapy and I have my malasma under good control. Not fully disappeared but much more subdued.
