Q: Can this be used along with Retinol or tre trentinoin? Or should it be used on night when not using?
submitted by AC - 2 years ago
A: While it can be used safely, BUT it is advised against doing so. According to dermatologists, it may deactivate the strength of the retinol.
submitted byD - 6 months 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.

Be patient! It does what it says!
Welp, I bought this because of the mixed hype on it. Some said it worked instantly, others said it didn’t work at all so I took my chances. I give it a 4 out of 5 because while it doesn’t work over night— it DOES work with everyday use. I’ve been struggling with dark spot on one side of my face from acne and for the first time in months, my face is almost clear after 1 week of continuous use. The photo with me in the green top is a week before use

Try It!
I randomly got this becuase I it was cheap compared to other color correctors. I have some dark spots that bother me but didn't want to pay a million dollars. This is wasy and non-greasy. You put it on twice a day before anything else. I SWEAR it works and I have been using it for just about 30 days. There is no smell which is great.

I have dealt with scars on my legs due to bug bites. This cleared it up! I now use it any time I have redness from a healing pimple and it clears it up overnight

Does not work.
Does not lighten acne spots. I have used twice a day for over two months. I don’t see any difference in the lightening of acne spots.

This feels lovely but has literally done nothing to my acne scars. I’ve used it religiously twice a day morning and night every day for two months and absolutely no change

I've heard that this product takes a long time to work. If I don't see a difference this review will change and I'll get a new product for my dark spots.

Good product
I have been using this on the backs on my hands for about a week as had some freckling/dark spots. I have definitely noticed a difference and will continue using it. Works well with other products also. Very happy with results.
