Most Helpful Positive Review Fast Results Bye Bye Dark Spots from It cosmetics is a pretty good product. I wasn't sure about it by just looking at it, the serum is clear but when I first opened the bottle it had a perfume scent which it something I didn't like because of allergies. I still planned on using it once just to test the scent and whether or not it would cause skin irritation.
The first two days using it I used as directed, once in the morning and once at night. The perfume scent I initially smelled wasn't as bad once on my hand/face. My problem area was on my chin and jawline. So while directions said to apply to face/neck and around eyes, I focused on my problematic areas.
I learned that I didn't followed directions of application right when I applied in circular motions instead of pressing on the serum. This made the serum to dry fast and needed more than the 4-5 drops. I use 5 drops and place them on my left hand and used my right fingertips to press on the serum. This actually worked better because it gave me coverage for my entire face. It dries pretty face so I think it's why pressing the serum not only is best to penetrate the skin but also makes the product from "wasting" before covering your entire face.
After the first two day applying this, i decided to just use it once a day, after my morning showers. Reason being the local weather. Applying anything on my face during the humid night made me me feel like a waste because I would sweat and well, didn't want to waste product. With that, i still saw improvement of my dark spots within the week. The dark spots not only look smaller but a lot lighter faster than when I didn't use the serum. No dryness of skin nor irritation.
Packaging is something I really liked too. It's a clear glass bottle with a glass dropper. I feel using glass means it's safe from absorbing any chemical from plastic bottles. Specially if using long term. You can also see how much I have used and if I accidentally drop the dropper, it would be easy to clean. And it can be recycled.
Most Helpful Critical Review Too strong of smell After using this product for a full week, twice a day, I feel that the product is a nice addition to my routine because it's pretty lightweight but feels moisturizing. It spreads easily and doesn't have much of a smell, and is overall a really pleasant product to use. However, I didn't see too much improvement of my dark spots even after a week. I think that, if the active ingredients in this are ones that you know are effective for you, I'd recommend trying it since it seems to be well formulated. I will continue to use this product and see whether it produces better results over a longer period of time, since dark spots typically take much longer than a week to fade. As an aside, the product will definitely last a *long* time since you're only using 4-5 drops each time, so I think it's a pretty decent bang for your buck

Nat from San Diego
I have a history of picking at my face which causes the dark spots so my dark spots are caused by me unfortunately. I had a bad episode a few months ago where I had 4-5 pimples/blackheads and I created horrible dark spots from my right cheek to jawline - I was on the hunt for a dark spot serum that reasonably priced and this one had the best review and cost. I've used this for about a month now and my face is CLEAR! I never write reviews but i couldn't let this one go without a review.
I feel like it has made a difference 5
Annie the Granny from Wyoming
I may just be fooling myself, but I've been using this 3x per week (I have super sensitive skin and am too scared to use it more often) for the past 2 months, and I swear that I see a lightening of my sunspots. It could be that my skin is getting paler during the winter months, but you'd think that would make the dark spots stand out even more... Anyhow, I only apply to the areas that I want to treat, and I top it with my normal Dermalogica SPF 50 daily moisturizer. I haven't had ANY negative reactions, and the dark spots definitely seem noticeably faded.
Don't waste your money - Absolutely no difference 1
Anna from Tennessee
This product did nothing to my face. My dark spots are still dark. I really wanted it to work. I also have been enjoying using it cosmetics products and brushes often in the last year… I didn't mind paying full price for this because I *knew* I could trust It Cosmetics.
Not anymore. Don't waste your money! Spend it on a good concealer instead.
Too fragranced 2
ER from MN
I've used this product coming up on two months and I can't see any dramatic difference. Still have hyperpigmentation and it looks the same. Admittedly, it's so heavily scented that I use it once a day. Maybe if I used it twice a day, I'd see some change. Serums should be fragrance free - this is very floral forward. Will not buy again.
MAGIC!!!!! 5
Li'l PR from Bradenton Florida
This serum is truly magic because my sun exposure/age related dark spots are disappearing! My skin is so much more even toned, I don't need to use concealer under my IT CC Cream foundation anymore. It is the only one I have used that really works. Please don't ever stop making it!
Works but you have to be patient 4
Jess from Phoenix, AZ
As with anything like this, you have wait a full month to observe cell turnover before making a review (sometimes longer). And that is exactly what I did. It seemed like nothing was happening but this has lightened the huge melasma marks on my nose and cheeks. It was really noticeable at the end of the month. I'm going to continue through winter and hopefully have this gone.
Zero Difference 1
Wilki004 from San Diego, CA
I purchased this product with high hopes since I'm a big IT fan. I used the product as directed ( twice a day) for two months and saw absolutely NO difference. I wasn't expecting miracles but had hoped for some fading. Nothing. Emptied the bottle and I looked exactly the same as day one. Very disappointed, a wasted purchase.
Pleasant texture and wonderful fragrance 5
Katode from Hattingen, Germany
The serum against pigmentation spots feels very pleasant on the skin. It is light and absorbs quickly without weighing down the skin, even if I treat the entire face and neck with it. The scent is very pleasant and unobtrusive. It is fun to use the serum.

Love it! 5
ConfidenceQueenJackie from Dallas
I really was super excited about getting this concentrated formula for free to help get rid of dark spots! It really began lightning them after a week and a half!
Works well 5
Jennifer from Wisconsin
As someone who spends a lot of time in the sun over the summer I was happy to receive this product to try on my sun spots. I used it for a solid week and began to see improvements on some of my darkest spots. It is easy to apply, and you don't need much. The smell is a bit strong but is easy to get past. I would recommend this to others looking to actually get rid of their dark spots
Great 5
Rapideyes19 from Illinois
This product was great. I have a terrible sleep schedule so I often have under eye bags that are dark. This worked really well to cover them up!
made me break out 2
maria from Lodi NJ
So i have really sensitive, acne prone skin. I thought this would help lighten the acne scars I have but it made me break out more. Now I have more acne scars. Vitamin C makes me break out so i'm sure it was this ingredient. If you have the tolerance for Vitamin C then try it, it might work for you.
Moisturizing 5
Ochoa1226 from Fort smith
Love how it lets me get a certain amount of product. Very easy to use it has helped my skin feel and look better then before.
Great for dark spots, redness, and overall even skin tone 5
Mere from Wichita KS
I have so much redness on my face. Actual spots that people would probably call "dark spots" and red blotchy areas. I have only been using this product for a week and only in the morning instead of both am and pm as directed. I have already noticed a huge difference and hope that it will continue to eliminate my spots and improve the the look of my skin. I will probably start working it into my evening routine soon.
Bye Bye My Dark Spots 5
Ammyyysavestheday from NYC
It really works. I was skeptical at first because I have stubborn dark spots and scaring from my acne. I was really glad a dark spot appeared just as I received this product because I really get to put it to work and see if it works. Outcome is yes it works but very slowly. I use it twice a day and there are no immediate results; but it works.
Great product 5
Princesstoki from Denver, CO
I really liked this product. It definitely helped reduce the appearance of my dark spots and acne scars. I will keep using it and hope to see more fading.
Starts working within a couple weeks 5
Shanaloraine89 from Barnesville, OH
Bye Bye Dark Spots by It Cosmetics is a great product if used as directed. Definitely apply by pressing into the skin, put 4-5 drops into your palm and use finger tips of other hand and press as this uses a lot less product since it drys extremely fast. I started noticing my dark spots begin to lighten within two weeks. The only downside to this product is the perfume scent.
Brighter, younger skin 5
Apires91 from Westchester, NY
I used this for over a month now and I noticed a slight difference on a dark spot left behind by a miserable pimple that I had. However, I do feel more awake and refreshed bow that I feel like my under eye circles have left me! At least I feel like my skin feels brighter and this gives me a slight glow. So I'll continue use to see what other benefits I'll get from it.
Great formula, works very well!! 5
Jessie Lynn from Rochester, NY
Love this product! I have been using it for about 4 weeks now and have noticed a big improvement in my overall skin tone. My acne marks have faded and my complexion is smoother. Sooo happy!!
Use as directed for great results 4
pmjs from Los Angeles
After using Bye Bye Dark Spots, I did notice improvement on the dark spots near my eyes after several uses. I think that this is a great product if you use it as directed and do not have sensitive skin because it is scented. If used correctly, it also won't dry your skin out as much or at least you won't feel it as much.
Amazing results! 5
Val from California
I used this product for at least 2 weeks and noticed a huge difference in my dark spots. They have faded so much and I'm so glad I got a chance to try out this product.
Not Enough Time To See Results 2
LasVegaes from Miami
I was only given two weeks to try this product and it is a very mild hyperpigmentation serum so I did not see any difference. Additionally, this product has a strong fragrance, and if you don't know, products with added fragrance can potentially cause allergies with other products you use frequently so -1 star for that.
