WOW
I don't have enough words to describe this amazing product! It's like a magic elixir. My pigmentation has faded after 3 weeks of consistently using it, am and pm. This is coming from someone who has gone for peels, used derma rollers, bio-oil, skin lighteners, you name it. My friend recommended this to me, literally so grateful! Don't even think twice about it, just buy it and see for yourself. £7, cant go wrong!

Works well, be persistent
I have dark skin, warm and acne prone, I used to have a 'The ordinary craze' but this is definitely one of the ones that work! I reordered this because it helped me clear the dark spots and hyper-pigmentation caused by acne and the sun respectively. It's such a miracle product- but I'd paired it with retinol/retinoid, to see the full potential of it.

Holy Grail
This is my holy grail product. A MUST HAVE in every skincare routine. It makes my scars fade even though it might take some time. I LOVE IT. I will always repurchase.

Love this
I'm mixed and always get dark spots after a pimple. This product has completely removed these and I now have even skin color again. It has not removed old pigment spots, but I will continue to use this for a few months. Keep in mind that pigment spots take a long time to remove.

Love
My skin is very scared from acne throughout my life, my pigment was really bad especially on and around my chin and mouth area! This product is amazing I’ve just finished my first bottle about to purchase my second. My skin is so clear there are still a couple of deep scars which I don’t think will ever go, but the redness and darker areas have gone, I used this product pretty much every morning and night since July 2017 so it has lasted me 5 months. I can not rate it enough! Also, have a lot of other products from the range and love them all. Thank you!

Did zero results on skin pigmentation
I have been using this product for the past 2 months every day and night. Good to remove spots, but did absolutely ZERO to my skin.

love the full range
Since I started using the ordinary my skin has improved. It's softer smoother and although my dark patch for the sun hasn't disappeared, gradually lightening up. Highly recommend.

First product from The Ordinary and will not be the last.
I did not see my pigmentation (from sun damage) lighten only until my first bottle was nearly empty. Suddenly the brown spots look like they are breaking down. On my 2nd bottle now and I'm seeing further improvement, some spots are no longer visible. Texture is tacky but just apply a thin layer of moisturiser over it and all is well.
