Well, this treatment kinda did the trick, but it does take longer to work than some other chemical alternatives out there. I absolutely saw a difference in my marks and blemishes within 2 weeks of...

This product was a huge waste of money for me. I bought this to try to even out hyperpigmentation. I spent $50+. I used it for three weeks. I don't think it did a blessed thing, or if it did it was...

I've waited several weeks to place this review. I went to Sephora looking for a simple night time treatment. I had been using an 8 - 12% AHA cream every night for nearly three years, but I really...

I have to agree with Teabox on this one; this product should really be advertised as an acne gel. It has almost no obvious lightening qualities but really helps to increase cell turnover and...

I tried this out for a week. The gel is a bit thicker in consistency than other lightening gels. I prefer something less thick. Also, I didn't really notice any lightening or brightening of my face...

Doesn't work to lighten up the skin significantly. I still love it because the glycolic and azelaic acids clear up my acne and makes me free of breakouts. DDF should really just advertise this as...

As much as I admire the holistic philosophy behind this product, I have to say that the lightening agents were indeed too weak and didn't do much to even out skin tone. That said, this lightening...

This is a wonderful moisturizer for me, I have oily skin with a few dry patches. Yet I could not see any skin lightening at all. I think the whitening agents are too weak.
