I finished the whole bottle but didn't notice any change for my darkspot. Good thing is I didn't breakout.

Works good but if you have sensitive skin use with caution.

I really think this has faded my dark spots, but with me having sensitive skin I can't use it on my arms, chest and legs too without breaking out in hives. Just pick a few spots at a time if you have sensitive skin.
I would buy this product again

My first time using this. Love the texture. Can't really see a difference in the discoloration yet around my chin and jaw area. But, I'll give it another try when I finish this bottle.
Yes!...then, nevermind...

I got a sample of this product from Ulta upon purchasing another product. I used the sample every day/night for 2 weeks and it was working! However, when I went back and got the full bottle, it was no longer working for my skin. The hyperpigmentation came back x 2!!!
Best serum to target dark spots

My skin is pretty sensitive — every time I touch my pimples, or even if I just leave them alone, they leave dark spots. I currently have a lot of dark spots on my forehead, but this serum has been helping make them look less noticeable in such a short time. If you have dark spots from acne, I would definitely recommend this serum

I have years of sun damange/hyperpigmention, bought this March 2025 during 50% off event. Been using it twice a day along with retinol and vitamin C. Can comfirm this did not work for me. I do like the texture and how easy it is to absorb.

I have pale skin prone to redness and age spots. I've tried many different serums with no luck. This actually worked on me. Within one week I have my normal skin coloring and no irritation.

Tried it as COSRX is a great Korean brand and was hoping it would be different than all the others. Plus, all the positive reviews. But after twice daily usage for 2 months, there was nonchange to any of my dark spots. I did before & after pics & i think it actually got worse! Thankfully i purchased this when in 50% off!

first off I wanna thank the lady that gave me the free sample of this! now I'm addicted to it and it had done wonders to my face. I don't get a lot of pimples like little small ones at the most at random spot but most of the time my face is clear and smooth bc of this product. I use it day and night and see a HUGE difference in my skin and the smoothness of my face. I even left it on a pimple over night and by morning it was small as a mustard seed ( it was a kinda huge pimple and it was inflamed). I hate not a lot of ppl know about this product bc it TRULY works!!!
My face looks hydrated and smooth

I am enjoying this product. It feels heavenly going on, and my skin feels and looks very smooth when I use it. I feel it's too soon to determine how effective it is at clearing my hyperpigmentation. I'll try to provide an update if I notice any significant changes.

I love this stuff. Using it daily and when I put mineral sunscreen over this, it does not pill at all. It's not tacky either. Huge wins.
Must buy for anyone dealing with any type of breakout!

I did start to have a randole face breakeout and on day three it was really red. I walked into ulta and grabed this iteam, that has to have been the best decision of my life. This product worked in less than a few hours, it took away almost all fhe redness and slowly started to lower the breakout, buy this and you will have no regret
Amazing!
