A must in my skincare routine
Absolutely love this. Works amazing on my olive skin. I do have the occasional breakout and they leave hyperpigmentation behind. This helps fade those pesky flaws away and I'm now flaw free. I do use this together with the Niacinamide to keep my face blemish free. Absolutely love it!

The best yet
I’ve used this for a few weeks now, and I definitely see a difference. I’ve tried all sorts of stuff that has never worked, this on the other hand, so far, is the best ever!

I’ve been using this for a month and it has helped to smooth out my skin especially the chin area where I have hyper pigmentation and dryness.

Works, just be patient
So in summer 2017 I had acne for the first time in my life (I'm 19) I got rid of it thanks to my dermatologist but I was left with some dark spots all over my cheeks. I decided to give this serum a go and at first, I was very disappointed and sceptical. One month in and there were no results, I was even thinking that it's causing me to break out but I figured out that if I bought it I'm going to use it up and then decide if it was a waste of money or not. I started using this product in February (I've taken a before picture just to keep track of the progress) and now when I'm sitting down to writing this review it's may. So that means that I have been using this product for good 3 months, I snapped some pictures again I tried to keep the lighting very similar and YES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! The spots are still on there but they are far less prominent! Next on my wishlist is the rosehip oil I heard that is good for hyperpigmentation as well :) Would recommend if you don't mind waiting for the result (a chemical peel at a salon will give you better results quicker but it's more expensive).

Noticeable difference
I really like this. I use this with the hyaluronic acid and Paula's Choice azelaic acid. Lovely combination, my skin looks so different lately. It's bright and my acne scarring is slowly fading.
