- Q
Hello I need for face spot because the Sun I live in Puerto Rico you think it help.
- Asked by Rose
- Official Answer By MuradYes it will indeed help. It is very important that you use SPF, every day, cloudy or not. An SPF 15 protects against 94% of UVB rays whiles an SPF 30 protects against 97%. Anything higher is only about a 1% increase which can provide people with a false sense of security. In light of the various factors that can decrease protection we do recommend reapplying once every 2 hours to maintain a constant level of protection, regardless of the SPF.Was this answer helpful to you

This is working for my 'melasma mustache'!
This is the 4th product I've tried for my melasma, and it is working! I've noticed about a 75% reduction of my melasma in about 3 months with continued use and copious amounts of sunscreen. My melasma seemed to pop up out of nowhere. I do keep all of the skin on my face quite smooth with a combinati...

Please bring back the original formula!
This new formula is a creamy like substance and doesn't work like the previous clear gel like formula. I have been a loyal user of this product and it was always so amazing. Did exactly what it promised. Cleared my face beautifully from dark spots. It is what I always used to manage my skin discolor...

It works!
The product does exactly what it was intended to do. I dislike the feel of the product, however, I haven't liked any of the textures of any product that brightens skin. In my case, the product does not layer well. I use it alone after washing my face well. Bottom line is that is works.
Not what you think
I got this for my face but it wasn't doing anything. One day I wiped the extra on my arms and noticed the spots fading. Now I use it when I see a spot on my arms.
Didn't Change Anything
I have stubborn post acne scares that pop up without fail after a pimple has run its course. I was hoping this product would speed the process of lightening this but it didnt do anything i used it every night. I tried doing a spot treatment alone and spot treating with using my regular products and nothing. It also smells like nailpolish remover which was concerning. Especially with that pricetag.
Targets Dark Spots
I truly love this product, however it is way too pricey for the amount you are getting. I only bought it during Ulta's beauty sale. It is a great product for removing dark spots and it absorbs well.
Best product
"I've been using the serum for 2 weeks now and I'm really impressed with the results so far." Love the results
