Q: Can this be used along with Retinol or tre trentinoin? Or should it be used on night when not using?

submitted by AC - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi there! Our Discoloration Correcting Serum can be used safely with a retinoid/retinol such as Tretinoin. Our serum is gentle enough to be combined in the same routine. However, if you are utilizing a doctor prescribed Tretinoin, please check in with your physician to make sure that this fits into your current treatment regimen.

Q: I have sensitive acne-prone skin with old dark spots and texture. Will this help fade them, and is it safe to use with Black Girl Sunscreen in the morning? How long for results?

submitted by Ziya - 6 days ago
  • A: Hi! Good question, the serum will absolutely help with your hyperpigmentation. However, if your concern is texture, I suggest looking into our niacinamide serum or toner, as that ingredient helps with texture. I hope this helps!

Q: Is this safe for acne prone skin?

submitted by K - 14 days ago
  • A: Hi there! Good question, our discoloration correcting serum can help fade post acne marks but it will not help treat acne itself. I hope this helps!

Q: Is this noncommodegenic?

submitted by Maggie - 20 days ago
  • A: Hi! We definitely understand your concerns with the products' potential to clog pores. However, we’re hesitant about applying the non-comedogenic label to our products since there is no universal and agreed upon guideline. Comedogenic scales often vary depending on the source. When an ingredient is tested in a lab to determine the comedogenic capability, it is done in a rabbit's ear which is much more sensitive than human skin. Individual skin chemistry can determine the extent of an ingredient’s ability to clog pores, so it is highly variable between people. As such, the only way to be certain is to actually try out the product. The same ingredient when used in a different concentration or within a different formulation will vary as far as being comedogenic or not. I hope this information is helpful and please let me know if any other questions come up!

submitted by Sparky123 - 1 month ago

Q: Can this be used on its own to lighten hyperpigmentation

submitted by Aaliyah - 5 months ago
  • A: Thanks for reaching out and great question! The Discoloration Correcting Serum contains the actives cetyl tranexamate mesylate and niacinamide to help improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, acne marks, age spots, and sun damage over time with continuous use. The serum can be used alone after a cleanser and toner, followed by a moisturizer and daily sunscreen or it can also be used in combination with alternate brightening products.

Q: Does this work for melasma?

submitted by Sasha - 6 months ago
  • A: Thank you so much for this great question! Melasma can be stubborn to treat, and it can take 8-12 weeks to see a marked improvement. The best results are observed when using a combination of topical brightening agents that act on various pathways of pigment formation. The Discoloration Correcting Serum can help, when combined with additional treatments, as it is formulated to help improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, acne marks, age spots, and sun damage over time. Long-term treatment is key, as flare-ups can occur at any point, especially if Melasma is left untreated.

    Caused irritation and allergic reaction

    I was hoping to like this serum, but my skin reacted badly to it. Within a 3-4 days, I developed redness, small bumps, and rough texture on my cheeks — something I’ve never experienced with any other skincare product. I didn’t change anything else in my routine, so I’m confident this serum caused it. On top of that, I had an allergic reaction that made my skin red and itchy. It didn’t help fade dark spots at all, and now I’m left dealing with the reaction and uneven texture it caused. Would not recommend.

    Dark to light

    I have been using this for about a year now, I wasn’t sure it was doing anything but then I stopped using it for about two weeks and my dark spots were definitely darker. Went back to it and they’ve visibly lightened up. I don’t think it will erase them but it does lighten.

    This was my final at home effort before I turned to lasers and micro needling but this stuff is amazing. I have used this for about 3 months and have seen an incredible difference. I could not possibly recommend this more.

    Works, but be careful!

    If you have sensitive skin beware. I tried applying this to my face a few times, and it burnt my skin and made it darker. So then I decided to make a vegan moisturizer at home, and added this too it. It works amazingly with fast results this way…… for me!
