I have been using this serum twice a day for about 8 months now. It is great! Very lightweight and definitely helps to fade dark marks. Works great in combination without ingredients like alpha arbutin.

I’m on the fence about this one: did it fade my dark marks? No. Is my skin any different? No, but my skin is generally fine. It does help when my skin is feeling dry, but other than that, it’s fine. I used it on alternating days in the evening and used sunscreen as well. My expectations were probably too high. Still recommend that others try it for themselves.

The best brightening serum on the market and I’ve searched high and low.
