Most Helpful Positive Review This definitely works! This works very well, but it does take a while. For the past four months, I have been using this product daily after I wash with a PHA or salicylic acid-containing cleanser. I apply a thin layer just to the hyperpigmented areas on my face, chest, shoulders, and forearms. I also sometimes use this in conjunction with a vitamin C serum all over. And I moisturize daily as well with both a cream and rose water spray. I wish I had taken a before picture, because the hyperpigmented areas have lightened significantly. Even coworkers have mentioned my skin looks better and asked me what I was using. And I had not even told anyone other than my husband that I was treating my skin with anything. I have experienced no complications from using this product, such as uneven skin tone. My natural skin tone is light to medium with neutral to warm undertones. I definitely recommend this product, especially given the low price in comparison to the results delivered. You do have to be patient though. Also, one container lasted me four months with application to several areas of the body. All around a great product!
Most Helpful Critical Review Works on my body acne scars I used this entire bottle and it did absolutely nothing for my face. Now, it did lighten up the old dark spots on my stomach. I wonder if it has something to do with keeping that part of my body out of the sun? I do wear a daily moisturizer but the product I usually use for the daytime seems to have changed their ingredients. That's for another review!

my holy grail 5
simmer from Salt Lake City, UT
i stopped using this for about a week and my skin started becoming acne prone again. i noticed a significant amount of improvement when using this, i truly cannot live without it.
The first thing that has actually worked 5
Ya gal Liz from Miami, FL
I'm 26 and have had acne since I was 13 years old. I've tried every serum, face wash and mask you could think of and nothing has made a huge difference in my skin until I tried this serum. The first couple of days I used it my face got a few dry patches and I developed some small red bumps on my cheeks but after day 3 my skin was so smooth and completely clear. I use this serum twice a day after washing my face and apply moisturizer immediately after to prevent my face from drying up. This is stuff is a miracle in a bottle.
Works fast 5
Lexie from Mass
I've recently been having acne. I really don't want acne scarring so I bought this and omg did it work. If you have broken skin from acne and you put this on it by the next day it will be pretty much healed. I recommend 100%

Won't repurchase 3
Jennifer from Memphis
Bought this for the price and one moderately sized brown spot. Doesn't work much to fade. Spot is still there. Will not repurchase and will go back to the expensive medical grade. :/
Not product pictured 3
Scorpiosphinx from Lyndhurst, NJ
I bought this hoping it would still be the hydroquinone formulation, however I was sent the 4% niacinamide product. I'm not mad about that but don't expect hydroquinone.
Not for my face 1
maddie from TN, USA
I don't know if it's just my skin, but I had a horrible allergic reaction to this product. I woke up the morning after using it to a rash all over my face. My face was super bumpy, burning, red, itchy, and flaking off. I hadn't used anything different besides this serum so I stopped using it and the rash cleared up.
Love it!!! 5
Haille from Redding
2nd time purchasing this product and it's amazing!! I had quite a bit of acne scaring on my cheeks but after the 1st bottle but they've almost completely faded. This product really has improved my overall skin texture and clarity. I use it in my night routine because makeup does not apply well while using it in my morning routine.
love 5
TheresaSwopes from Decatur Ala
I'm loving this product

mo from texas
it's works well, but be careful. it will bleach the skin around your dark spots. apply carefully with a qtip.
$35 in store but $21 online? What's with the rip-off? 4
Rilez from Springfield VA
Love this product. Been using it for 6 months. Just purchased for the first time in store from ulta. Why did I pay $35 in store, but it's $21 online? Absolutely absurd. Buy elsewhere.
Disappointed 1
MNM from Chicago
Unfortunately I don't see a difference. It was worth a try.
Doesn't help me 1
ShowMe Shopper from Cape Girardeau, MO
I've come to realize that no Hydroquinone 2% product works on my dark spots. That's not to say it wouldn't work for someone else.
No difference 1
redsteph19 from Oregon
The smell is awful! I've been using this a month and a half for freckles. My freckles aren't super dark. They haven't lightened at all!
As good as Murad at a fraction of the cost 5
ILJUL from midwest
I just wanted to come here & tell anyone considering buying this product to go for it. I used to use the Murad dark spot corrector & switched to this & honestly this one is better. Results are fast! It does have an odd smell but its not overpowering. My dark spots are fading fast & you can put it all over your face it WON'T fade skin that doesn't have dark spots. In fact when I emailed the manufacturer they actually recommended using it on the entire face so that you didn't end up splotchy. I highly recommend this product & intend to continue buying it. Super impressed!
It gave me some acne 2
Marisposa from La Puente CA
The smell when you apply it .Is like a garlic smell the lotion is clear and smooth It gave me some acne on my face maybe due to the used of something new on my face like an allergenic reaction.
Great product, great price 5
Cynthia Anne from Midwest
This product is surprisingly effective -- and works better than other products I've tried that were more expensive. I have sun spots/age spots on my upper chest and forehead, and this product has started to fade those within a week or so. I haven't noticed the smell others are complaining about -- the product dries quickly. I am also pleased that it doesn't seem to dry my skin out, as other lightening products did.
I would buy this product again and again 5
Vanesa from Huntington Beach
So I bought this about a week ago bc I have a lot of dark spots from blemishes this works so well I instantly noticed my dark spots were getting lighter highly recommend
Good product but smells bad 4
kreysa from Sacramento
Overall it is a good product. I like the gel formula. It already lightened up my dark acne scars but smells awful. I wouldn't call it a scent. It has strong chemically smell and almost hurts my nose to breath. Also if you pump little too much, the product crumbles when it get dry. Once you learn how to use it, it is a great effective product!
Buy this Product!!!! 5
Jeanie from Pittsburgh
This product really works. I have spent countless hours swimming or outside for years. Within one month this product has erased many of my spots. My skin has not looked this good since my 30's.
Visible difference in days! 5
AJS from Atlanta, Ga
I have used another dark spot correcting serum for years without getting the results I got from this one in days. I have a lot of hyper pigmentation spots due to my years in the sun without sunscreen. They're so dark that they're even visible under makeup and concealer. After using this for just a few days, I can already see a difference in the spots. I have some dark spots on my legs from a bad eczema outbreak and it's working on those spots too! (Just to be clear, it did not clear up my eczema; it cleared up the dark spots left after my eczema was cleared up by meds) Highly recommend!
Seriously amazing!! 5
Dani from IA
This. Stuff. Works. I've struggled with breakouts on and off for since middle school, and one of the worst parts was the red marks they'd leave behind. I noticed a difference in the evenness of my complexion within the first week of using this product! I've been using it for about 6 months, and now I just have a few post-acne marks from recent occasional zits. All the older ones have faded! I've also noticed that it has made my skin dewy and glowy. It does have a distinct scent, but it's not a bad smell and honestly, this stuff is so amazing that it's completely worth it.
Consist consistency and patience 4
Mar mar from Ventura county
I tried this product every day for a month straight, it does help with pigmentation however it only works on the surface by bleaching your skin for the best results I use this paired with some form of retinol.
It's smells like burnt plastic and the smell does not go away I only used it at night because it was so intense.
