Amazing but start slow
I have been using this since May and I will say its nice to have a product that addresses all sides of hyperpigmentation especially for black people. Very well formulated and a huge bottle. I use it 4x a week once a day. I have reactive super sensitive acne prone skin and eczema so I definitely purged. I started off slow 1x a week for 2 weeks the went up from there. You have to be serious about using sunscreen and a hat. Any serum will take a while to work nothing is magic in a bottle but if youre patient its worth it for older marks. New marks barely leave a mark and goes away fast. I combined mine with microneedling and my skin looks wayyyy different.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's still early in my use, but the serum goes on smoothly and wears well under makeup. I bought it to address old acne scars on my back and face, so hoping over time I see improvement.

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
