If products turned brown is it still going to work or does the discoloration mean the ingredients oxidized and are no longer effective??

Can i use this on my bikini line to fade dark marks?
- Asked by A
- Official Answer By La Roche-Posay - BEHello there! While the Glycolic B5 Dark Spot Corrector is designed to fade dark spots on the face, we do not recommend using it on the bikini line. This area is particularly sensitive, and the product's active ingredients may cause irritation or unwanted reactions. For concerns about dark marks in that area, consulting a dermatologist is the best course of action. They can recommend appropriate and safe treatments tailored to this delicate skin zone.Was this answer helpful to you

Why has the serum turned brown
Started working well lightening dark spots, however, it has turned brown and smells. Expiration date is 08/2025. I purchased 2 bottles and both have turned brown. Is it safe to use?

ZERO Stars - misrepresented
Product is described to be a dark spot corrector, but the actual bottle does not say that. This product caused my dark spots to get darker and bumpy. This happened after two uses as prescribed in the instructions. I threw the product away and I never do that. It was horrible and I caution you not to purchase or use this product.
Love this stuff
I have been suffering with hormonal acne since 14 and have lots of dark spots and scars. I've been using this for about a year now and it makes a big difference. It doesn't clog my pores and it brightens my skin, it's definitely worth the money
It does work
I've been using this product and it does clear dark spots. However, like with any other product of this tupe, you have to be consistent.
Works very well with sensitive skin!
So being a skin care girly for some time I learned that glycolic acid helps with uneven skin tone. However, its a very powerful acid so it doesnt play well with alot of serums/acids. For people using this product heres some tips so that your skin doesnt burn, get irritated, or mess with your skin barrier.... use it only at night, do not mix it with any other acids such as lactic acid, AHA/BHAs, or niacinamides. It works well with ceremide serum, ampoule, and snail mucin. So its very important you read the ingredients of other products you layer with this. If you use this once a week or so you will see the benefits.
Great product!
I used this product several years ago when my skin discolored after having kids. It worked really well and once I was happy with my clear skin, I use exfoliating scrubs and always sunscreen now. My face never got the brown spots back. Use sparingly, but often. Wash hand before applying moisturizer too. Dont get on eyelids.
