Q: May i use this product to treat my chest dark spots?

submitted by Kaylah - 2 months ago
  • A: Yes, although it’s formulated for the face, the ingredients can help with dark spots on other areas of the body, like the chest. That said, using it over larger areas may get costly. For larger areas or body discoloration, you might also consider our Remedy for Body Bumps.

Q: Can I use this under my arms? (Armpits)

submitted by Tedwards - 25 days ago
  • A: While designed for and tested on the face, Remedy for Dark Spots does contain ingredients that could be beneficial for discoloration on the body as well. However, for larger areas or high-friction zones like the underarms, we would recommend our Remedy for Body Bumps. It is a body lotion designed to help with skin texture, KP, dryness, and discoloration.

It works!

My toxic trait is I never take before and after pics but I wish that I did, specifically for this product! I recently purchased this about a week ago and I am ALREADY seeing results! Some stubborn dark spots I had are fading quickly! I'm a dark skinned Black woman with oily acne prone skin. I suffer from hyperpigmentation and always wound up with acne scars. I was so nervous to try this product but I am GLAD y that I did!! Try it, It's worth it!

Doesnt work for me

I have using the 3 products as recommended for 6 weeks and I have not seen a difference on my dark spots. My daughter recommended a product called La Roche- MELA-B3 you can buy it at Target, I’ve used it for a week and I can see a slight difference in the dark spots.

I have been using this with their moisturizer on a daily basis in my evening routines. Visibility has reduced old acne scars from months ago and has also minimized my scarring for new breakouts

Dont waste your money

This product is trash , he didn’t deliver with this formula , I expected way more and actual results.. you’d be better off just getting good molecules . I bought 2 bottles when they first came out with zero results ….

Love this product! In my early 60’s and a gardener so had quite a few dark spots even with sunscreen. I have been using it for a year now and my dark spots are 99% gone.

A Little Remedy That Really Works

I’ve been using Remedy for Dark Spots consistently and honestly didn’t expect to love it this much. First off, there’s no smell at all, which I really appreciate—nothing artificial or “active-y,” just clean and pleasant. The texture is absolutely lovely: a lightweight gel-lotion that spreads easily, sinks in fast, and never feels sticky or heavy. Some days I even use it without a moisturizer after, because it leaves my skin feeling hydrated and comfortable on its own. Over time, I’ve noticed my skin looks noticeably glowier and more even, and my dark spots are slowly but clearly fading without any irritation. What surprised me most is how smooth my skin feels—the retinol and other acids seem to be working quietly in the background to refine texture and soften little bumps without causing dryness or redness. My skin just looks healthier overall: brighter, smoother, and more balanced. This has become one of those products I genuinely look forward to using, and I can confidently say it’s earned a permanent spot in my routine.

It leaves a miso like smell on your skin for 10+ min. I wish I could get past it bc the texture is beautiful but the scent is extremely bothersome.

This really works on sensitive skin with hyperpigmentation

Finally, a retinol-based treatment my sensitive skin can tolerate! I've been using it for 6 months every other night, layered with their moisturizer, and I notice a difference. Bought more the moment it arrived at Target! Love this line.

Fantastic product!

Dr Shah hit it out of the park with this one! Great to have so many helpful ingredients in one product! I haven't had any issues with irritation, & have noticed a difference in my skin's tone evening out.

Actual Magical Powers!

I've been dealing with PIH and rough skin texture since I was a teenager (so, decades). Nothing on the market up has helped, and many products actually made it worse. Until now. I've been using Remedy for Dark Spots for about 3 months now (wanted to give ample time to provide an honest review) and the results are just. this product is pure alchemy. My skin texture was VASTLY improved after only a week, and now I am seeing notable improvement in dark spots that I've had for years. I'm breaking out a lot less, too, and when I do, it's a lot less severe (I'll sometimes temporarily switch over to Remedy for Pores to quickly heal the breakouts, and then come back to the Dark Spots formula). I'm obsessed; this product is truly unmatched. Now I'm just waiting (im)patiently for a daytime antioxidant serum to round out my routine.
