The worst!
Prior to using this, my skin hadn't experienced any breakouts for over a month. The first week of using this product I started to see random black heads and little bumps forming on my forehead and cheeks. The blackheads eventually turned into spots and this led to a big breakout. I stopped using it and am waiting for the blackheads and bumps to fade. Also I saw no difference in my pre-existing hyper pigmentation. Honestly worst product for skin and don't recommend.

Amazing
I've been struggling with acne and acne scars for more than 5 years and this is the only product that worked for me. Visible results in less than a week.

I’m the only one who’s noticed!
I’ve been using this for most mornings and evenings for a few weeks now and I’ve definitely noticed a more even tone in my skin. However, I really hoped that it would make my brown age spot fade or disappear, but sadly not yet. I will be buying it again as I like the overall effect.

Meh
This thing didn't do pretty much anything for my skin after a month of use, except for breaking me out every now and then.

It highly hydrates my skin and helps brighten my uneven dry skin. Love to use in the morning with cream moisturizer or solely after evening cleansing and toning.

Cleared up my awful post pill acne
Last week my acne was so bad and the scars were so pigmented so I quickly purchased this in hope that it would help my post pill acne that has been a constant battle. Less than a week later, my scars have lightened, my skin looks SO much better and I can actually look in the mirror without makeup on! Amazing I will keep re-purchasing!!

Really good!
I definitely noticed that my skin got more even, brighter and some of my small acne scars started to fade. I have currently used half the bottle, and I will buy again! I have dry, dull and uneven skin, and this product has helped in each of these areas. The only negative thing about it, is that if I use it every day, I get teeny tiny bumps on my face. They disappear quickly, but I find it weird since I don't have sensitive skin. Overall good product!!!

Amazing!
This product is wonderful and the best one I have tried so far for reducing my deep acne scars. I like the gel consistency and that there is no smell. It is not drying, does not pill and does not cause any breakouts. Unlike other products that are supposed to help with dark spots - this product actually makes the spots and scars themselves lighter - rather than making the skin around the scars lighter and this way actually emphasising the scars. I nearly used up the while bottle and my skin looks so much better and spots are less visible. I love it so much that I stocked up and want to try it with micro-needling tool.
