Good product
It's a good product that essentially brightens the skintone and fades marks /scarring.

Amazing!
You have to be patient with this product as it takes a while to notice any difference but it WORKS! I use mine with Tranxemic Acid from THE INKEY LIST and they are honestly the best combo! My dark spots are fading (slowly but surely) and it doesn't irritate my skin either! Just make sure to use in moderation and moisturise well after using the product and wear sunscreen in the AM or it will deffo dry your skin out!

Best for pigmentation
I had very bad dark patches left around my eyes and around my mouth after eczema break out (which went away after a couple of months). I felt extremely insecure. However, I purchased this serum and it worked amazingly and it lightened the darkness quite a lot. I purchased it again, but this time along with the Inkey Lists tranexamic acid night treatment, both the products have greatly reduced my dark patches. A piece of advice for anyone who purchases skincare products - results from a product wont show straight away - it takes approximately 2 months to see any sort of changes.

Amazing
Recently got rid of my acne so the next battle is my acne scars and this serum has faded them significantly. It’s really lightweight and honestly works! If you have acne scars, hyperpigmentation or anything like that honestly get this serum.

Love it!
I loved the product from the get-go! Saw an improvement in the appearance of acne scars. And leaves a glow I absolutely love! Highly recommended! Just wish it came in a bigger bottle.

Very good but
if you want to wear makeup you should'nt apply it underneath, so that the dead cells will not be seen.

Far from Ordinary
This is one of the best skincare ranges I have used. The Alpha Arbutin leaves my skin feeling soft and bright. I have noticed the lightening of dark spots. Will buy this product again.

Value for money
This is the second time I've used it and it has does wonders. Though it's not that strong for harsh cases of hyper-pigmentation, when used after the Peeling AHA or the Glycolic Tonic it vanishes skin discoloration and sunspots. It takes diligence to achieve results so don't give up. Combine it with the Azelaic Acid and you've got a winner.

My Holy Grail
This particular product from The Ordinary has been a skin saviour! Truly! I could see my dark acne scars faded. Hence, would definitely repurchase as it works well when combined with Niacinamide.
