This product does lighten skin overall but I didn’t really notice it doing anything to lighten acne scars ect. I also found you use a lot of it cause of how it absorbs. Also have to wait least 20...

It was promoted as a fast-acting spot lightening serum. It's supposed to work on my spots. I like it because it seems to work but it's not as dramatic as it made me think initially. It brightens...

I know hydroquinone is a taboo ingredient, but it works! And combining it with vitamin C is even better for brightening, plus it has glycolic acid high on the list as well, for exfoliation. I've...

No, this does not work. The ingredients aren't concentrated enough and this should come in an opaque bottle to preserve the vit C. This is a mass market product such that if you have moderate to...
