I love this product. My skin sucks it up and it's made my skin so much brighter. My pigmentation is also fading

Works for medium skin!
Saw some reviews mentioning that this product works particularly well in combo with The Inkey List’s “Tranexamic Acid Night Treatment”, so I decided to try the same. As such, I can only comment on how they work together, and not just this product on its own. That said, my medium (I’m South American) acne-prone skin is loving this combo! Because my skin is also quite sensitive (and because I don’t like mixing too many active ingredients in one go), I alternate using my acne-prevention products (namely, Differin) one night, and this combo the next. It’s only been a few weeks, but I’ve noticed a BIG difference in my acne scars, and other small bits of hyperpigmentation: they’re definitely lighter!! My skin tone also seems more generally even and smoother. Worth noting that for deeper sun damage (I have some more stubborn hyperpigmentation on my cheeks) it’s only helped a tiiiny bit. But still, so impressive! I think maybe longer-term use would move the needle in regards to deeper hyperpigmentation too.. I’ll report back!

Giant Freckle Killer!
I'm a freckly person and as I've started to age I've acquired a lovely 'giant' freckle on my face about the size of a 2p piece [not to mention some quite marvelous liver spots on the back of my hands.] Anyhow, I can definitely see a difference in the mark after a month of use and I don't apply it every day. I'll definitely be buying this again.

Good for pigmentation and acne scars
An absolute daily essential both for dry skin or acne scar suffers. I tend to use this before moisturisers and serums as I find it helps better absorb my skincare products. BE PATIENT, however - it won't get rid of your acne scars overnight. It took me a good couple of months of daily usage to notice any changes in my skin texture, but well worth it. Can't beat the price too! 1 star off for the size, due to how much I use this I only wish it was stocked in a bigger size!
