Does the job
I’ve been using this product for 2 years and I’ve never looked back , it removes dark spots however it is slow acting and only really works on mild hyperpigmentation with sensitive skin

It works!!
It works and I like using it. Hyperpigmentation is fading. I have sensitive skin but this didn’t cause any irritation. It’s a cream serum consistency so it’s hydrating on the skin.

consistency
repurchased multiple times, you have to be consistent to get results of fading scars but it makes your skin smoother and it becomes glowy immediately from the product

Works well but takes time
Bought this last May (it’s now January) I can see a big difference in my dark marks. I did also start drinking a lot more water which does help and I made sure to not overcomplicate my routine and only used a few products. I used this at night starting every other day (did cause a slight purge of about 4 spots DO NOT POP THEM)

Hello, This is my second time buying this product. The first one had a creamy color and has a bit of a bad smell. The second which l bought was much whiter than the previous and had no smell at all. Wanted to know if the second one was a fake or not?
