My skin didn't like this product at all. It broke me out every time I tried to use it.

This really works against stubborn pigmentation but obviously takes time to do it... most reviewers complain that after one bottle they saw little change? Well THAT is the way pigmentation works...

I had high hopes for this one, as I have used many products with Arbutin in the past. However I don't believe this made much (or any) difference in my acne scars. I found that their lactic acid 10%...
