Great for my melanin skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the L'Oreal Paris Niacinamide Serum and the UV SPF 50 Lotion, and I've been loving how they work together. The niacinamide serum is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling smooth and bright without feeling sticky. I've noticed my skin tone looking more even over time. The SPF 50 lotion is just as good, it's lightweight, blends in easily with no white cast, and gives me that extra layer of glow and protection I need every day. Together, they make the perfect combo for bright, protected skin that feels healthy and hydrated.

Effective Product +
I have been using this ALMOST every day, sometimes once a day, rarely twice... and I can absolutely tell that my dark spots are fading, some more quickly than others but definitely working. It has a light feel and a light, pleasant fragrance. I initially worried it would run out very quickly. directions say apply 1or 2 drops to face and neck. It takes quite a bit more than two drops to accomplish the task, but I'm going on week 6 and still have plenty. I recommend for fading dark spots and think the price is reasonable.

Disappointed
This serum did not reduce or diminish facial dark spots. I used the entire bottle and did not see any brightening in my complexion and no change to the dark spots on my face. I do not recommend buying this product.

Best niacinamide serum out!
Gave me glowing glass skin and helped get rid of acne scars! Definitely recommend if you don’t have sensitive skin because of the 12% niacinamide🥰

I had allergic reaction
I had an awful reaction when I used this, first time using it. I had severe redness and itching in my face and neck. I have to pay a lot for nothing.

Waste of money; does not work
I’ve been using this faithfully twice a day for over two months and it has done absolutely nothing to lighten the dark spots on my face and hands. Total waste of money.

Hello Britturt! Thank you for sharing your experience with Revitalift Derm Intensives 12% Niacinamide + Amino Sulfonic Acid + Ferulic Acid Dark Spot Serum. We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with this serum. It certainly sounds like you gave it plenty of time. When trying to fade dark spots its very important to use a sunscreen daily to keep more dark spots from forming. If its in your makeup, that's great, otherwise, use something like Bright Reveal SPF 50 Daily UV Lotion during the AM. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @800-322-2036 9 AM to 5:30 PM ET M – F

Another baseless claim
I used this religiously for three months. Twice a day just like the label said. There was NO difference in age spots. What a waste of money!

Amazing product
This is the “only” product that has lightened my age spots on my face and hands. Noticed it within the week. I’ve tried everything on the market for 40 years without anything working Thought I’d try this as I’ve used L’Oréal for years and IT WORKED!

Allergic reaction
Hi, this is the 3rd time I use this product, the first time it worked pretty well so I bought it a second time but at the end of the second time I noticed some allergic reaction on my face but I thought it was the sunscreen also from L'Oreal so I waited around 6 months to use the dark spot serum again but last night that I started to use it again, this morning I woke up with all my face swollen, red and with a lot of itchiness, it's the same allergic reaction I had at the end of the second time I used it.

Waste of money
For $29.99 I expected more from this L’Oréal Paris bright regal serum. I used the whole bottle now and nothing has changed. My dark spots are still the same color as before. Not even a hint lighter. I used this serum every day. Not only did it do nothing for my dark spots, i didn’t notice any difference in my skin texture, or glow. Looked the same as if I never even used it. Very disappointing. Save your money, this serum is not worth it.
