  • If you're hesitant on buying, let me tell you why you shouldn't be.
I wish I would have done a before and after with this stuff to show but I didn't but let me give a back story. I'm 19 with sensitive sponge-like skin that always needs moisturizer and pretty stubborn sometimes. I've previously been on accutane that completely got rid of my acne and got rid of hormonal breakouts. I went to my dermatologist, Tiffany Clay in Atlanta, and told her about leftover dark spots that I had been struggling to get rid of. She recommended this and Arazlo to help and get rid hyperpigmentation. The price was kinda crazy but she uses the line herself and has skin like glass so I went ahead and got it. YALL, within a week of using this gel ALONE. The results were so significant. It's like magic in a tiny glass bottle. Now it does sting a little but it goes away in seconds. There's a smell but we're all adults here, ignore it. But I went to having to where foundation to cover my dark spots and now all I leave out with is spf on my skin. THATS HOW CLEAR IT MADE MY SKIN. I will definitely try the cleanser and moisturizer next. ... show more

  • Works great, with a few caveats, please read
I've had this for 5 days. Half the brown spots on one hand are entirely gone, and all of them on both hands are definitely faded. I have four brown spots on my face, and I want to give a warning for anyone who has bought this. #1 DO NOT PEEL YOUR SKIN OFF when it starts working. It will look like the after effects of a sunburn. I don't care how tempting, leave it alone. I peeled off the little circle of skin on my face and it went red and started burning, and I was stupid enough to put this stuff right back on the spot despite it being raw. Oh my god. It hurt, and now the spot is almost black. I wrecked something. It was about half faded before I started messing with it, and now I'm not sure what's going to happen. Did I scar myself permanently? Dunno. It's not the product's fault, it's mine entirely. I repeat, DO NOT PEEL YOUR SKIN OFF. Rule #2, only use it as a spot treatment. Put it only on top of your dark spots and do not slather it on the general area, period, end of story, full stop. If you follow these two rules, you're gonna love this product. I wish I had taken a before picture of my right hand because nearly all the spots are gone. So pleased!!! ... show more

  • Works great. I use a week long cycle to be most effective.
Works great. Be careful. Like battery acid in a bottle. Which is what it is suppose to be. It kills the top lay of skin and then it peels away. Along with the discoloration. I found best to apply on the head of a Q-tip and only apply to the discolored skin. It will kill anything it touches. So if you go beyond the spot you are applying to it will peel it away also. I apply to each spot. I find something to do for an hour or two without touching the sites with anything. Not even clothes. After that I put a junky long sleeve shirt on and wipe areas not covered by shirt with a junky towel. Go to sleep for the night. The next evening I shower and lightly luffa the areas applied to. The 2nd night I lightly luffa again. I do another application with the Q-tip and 2 hour no touch time. Then shirt back on and sleep the night away. For the next three or four days lightly luffa the areas. You will see the layer peel off during those last three to four days. So best to take a week that you will be OK to have darker dark spots. It will be darker until it peels off. Applying every day is too much and not as effective. Do the week cycle. Take a week off and do another week cycle. You will see a dramatic difference. Does not work on moles or beauty marks. Liver and sun spots works great on. This is not a bleaching type agent. Good for spots not areas. ... show more

  • Doesn’t do anything
I’ve been using this religiously every morning and evening for several months and have noticed absolutely zero difference on my two sun spots. It’s such a bummer because it’s expensive for doing nothing at all.

  • Lightened a stubborn dark spot!
My routine: Dab a tiny bit on each dark spot, wait five minutes, and then moisturize. Do this two nights in a row. Then on the third night exfoliate skin and moisturize. Don’t use product on the third night, let skin heal. Repeat this cycle week after week. I saw improvement on one giant dark spot on my cheek after the first application. Two smaller ones vanished after 2 weeks and the rest are slowly becoming lighter. I have been using this for four weeks now. Be patient! You only need a tiny bit on each spot. This bottle seems pricey but it will last a very long time! This will slightly burn sensitive or broken skin including active blemishes. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ... show more

  • Really works.
I have purchased 2 bottles, another soon. I just need to use a little drop so I'm very careful not to pump all the way. After my 1st bottle, I chose something else because of the price (it nearly doubled since I got my first bottle.) That's when I realized how well this product works!!! It's worth the money to me and honestly I get it about once a year because I only treat the spots that are dark and a little goes a long way. ... show more
