Rated 1 out of 5 by from Made no difference I used the whole bottle which lasted a decent amount of time. I took ‘before’ photos before starting the product and ‘after’ photos once i had finished the bottle. I did not see a single change to my skin in the mirror from using this product. I went back and compared the ‘before’ photo and it confirmed my thoughts - this product did nothing for my uneven skin, nor did it brighten in any way. For the price i paid for this, it was a serious waste of my money and i cannot understand what this does to other people’s skin, that it failed to do to mine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Skin looks great Worked amazing for my pigmentation <3 I wish I knew about this product before. Although it can take some time to see results it is worth persevering. My pigmentation has now faded so much and my skin tone is looking much more even all over.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from No significant results I haven’t got any amazing results from this product. I have been using it for a few months now but wouldn’t say that it helped me with discolouration. I think sometimes it even caused more breakouts on the areas where I applied it. I still want to give another chance to this product, as I have seen good reviews. Will have a break from it and will try using it again soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Magic! I have been using it for a few months now and am impressed. My skin has never looked so radiant and even. I use this with CE ferulic after cleansing and to img my skin, and seems like it is really making a difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Liquid gold for sensitive skin This is SO good. I've suffered from post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) on my upper lip for 3.5 years, caused by prior years of clearly not using enough sunscreen, which was then worsened by a chemical peel that made it even darker! I've tried so many anti-pigment treatments (plus suncream of course) but most of them irritated my skin, therefore making the PIH worse. I've been using this product for 3 weeks & my skin is almost starting to look like how it was before the condition happened! I'm literally in awe! My only comment is that if I spend a day in the sun / near windows, I feel like my pigmentation gets slightly darker - but, I don't always have a chance to reapply my sunscreen as much as recommended. I'm going to add a vitamin c underneath & see if it helps protect my skin more. I'll post an update. Pros: Good for sensitive skin Alcohol-denat free Fragrance free Parfum free Amazing!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Mixed result… Nice textured serum, but no significant result on my face. However, I decided to try it on the back of my hands, where I have more sun damage, here it definitely made a difference. In summary then, it obviously works, but dependent on amount and area of uv blemishes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best results I’ve ever seen! I’ve been using this serum every morning after cleanser and toning water for 2 months and I’ve noticed the discolorations on my cheeks (freckles and pigmentations) also the acne scars got lighter! The skin becomes smoother as well! Easy to absorb! Great texture. No sticky face after using the serum! Very light and easy to apply! Def recommend it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very surprising! I really like this serum. I was very surprised at how light and gentle this was. I have definitely seen a difference in the clarity of my skin and would recommend to others.
