    Did this help to lighten a new dark patch I've noticed on my upper cheek, or existing acne marks? Unfortunately it didn't. And that's unusual because I usually respond very well to Arbutin, even at...

    Came here to see if anyone else had the same problem - this breaks me out giving me really nasty, deep, blood filled pimples that take a long time to heal. Only using it for my armpits now to see...

    I used this for a while but unfortunately it didn't do anything to my skin. It is easy to apply, has no scent. It adds a little bit of hydration because of the hyaluronic acid but that's it. It is...

    I tried multiple ways but it ended up being just another step added to my routine. And one I just would not keep up with. However, I finally found a way to make this product work for me. And that...

    I use this every night after niacinamide (as I believe they boost each other's effects, or some such). Took about 4 weeks to show serious results - acne scars fading away, tone evening out, and...

    Broke me out but I am prone to cystic acne due to hormonal imbalance. Had to discontinue after just a few uses so no noticeable effect on sun spots.

    A great product that is easy to layer under day cream with SPF + or Night Cream. This contains Alpha Arbutin which breaks down, yes that's right breaks down into Hydroquinone when applied to skin...

    This irritated my skin like crazy, which made the melasma spots I have look even more pronounced. My skin was sore and red for a couple days. Had to bin it. Absolutely terrible for sensitive skin.

    I think this is a decent product but you won't see miraculous results. At the same time, it doesn't have any of the side effects of perhaps more effective ingredients like hydroquinone. It has a...

    Great price but the claims for brightening are just not true. This did nothing for the acne spots on my dark tan skintone (nc42). I have used the whole bottle and nothing. It felt moisturizing,...
