Okay the smell is bad but I found that I’ve gotten used to it. It doesn’t bother me anymore and it doesn’t linger. This product works really well I’ve added it to my beauty routine and will always repurchase. My skin is on the oily side and this does not bother me at all. Sometimes the tube will dispense too much so be mindful of the pressure used.

After using my first tube (lasted me a year because I use it as a spot treatment) I find myself buying another one. It's not 'fast acting', you need to be consistent (but thats true fir most skincare). I deal with PIH and mark as soon as a breakout happens, picking or not and noticed a significant difference using this product. I other brightening agents in my skincare but honed in on using this specifically to see its effects. Overall. I like and recommend it. It smells but I dont really care as I use it mostly at night. Moisturizing, not sticky. Follow directions to avoid skin irritations. During the day, im light handed and the smell masks under everything else im wearing. 4 out of 5 because I want to use another tube to be sure.

Even though this works very well and brightening the skin of all dark spots and hyperpigmentation. I don’t like how it’s very, very small.

TLDR version After 5 weeks daily AM use Pros Reduced appearance of age spots slightly. Very slightly. First couple days of use caused slight irrititation/reddening but after that no irritation. Cons PRICEY Slightly funky smell, but dissipates in less than an hour. Not a deal breaker. Leaves skin feeling greasy for hours Sometimes caused pimples to occur, the kind you might get when eating too much chocolate. Not sure this product caused it but I *think* it did. My final verdict: I wouldn't buy it again at half the price. Loquacious version I have lived in sunny hot places most of my life. I never used sunscreen regularly until about a year ago. Not surprisngly I have a few age spots/sun spots on my face, arms and back of my hands. I want to get rid of them so I got expert advice (Thank You Drs. Dray, Shah, and Maxfield) and began a program that includes daily sunscreen use and active topicals including tretinoin and hydroquinone and other things. I have been using this program for 10 months. In this 10 months I have experienced the spots diminish in size and darkness, very very slowly. Painfully slowly. Did the daily use of sunscreen accomplish this? The active topicals? I don't know. I wondered if an over the counter product with a good reputation like FADED might give better results so I bought one large tube, stopped using hydroquinone, and used Faded every day till the tube was empty. That turned out to be five weeks. The result was that my spots continued fade away very very slowly, noticeably more slowly than when I was using hydroquinone . And FADED is rather stinky and kept my skin feeling greasy for hours whenever used. And I got occaisional minor pimple breakouts while using that *I think* was caused by FADED. So the FADED was all used up two and a half weeks ago. I resumed using hydroquinone daily when the FADED was gone, and my my spots continue to fade but noticeably faster. So my experience validates what my dermatoligist advisors have said, that hydroquinone is the gold standard for removing age spots/sun spots. This was my experience. Your experience may, probably will, differ.

I have HS and lots of dark purple scars in my armpits, groin, and between my breasts. This worked wonders on lightening those spots. I didn't have an issue with burning, itching, or any smell.

Love this product , use it probably twice a week if not more , it does have a funny smell I put on at night before bed , I can see a different in my skin I have oily skin so I use to get Acne really bad before I knew how take care of my skin but anyways I can see the dark spots leaving

Not exactly sure how I feel about this one, but i havent seen much of a change in appearance of my dark spots. I’m glad it’s not irritating for my skin nonetheless. It does have a strong smell, not the good kind and it does leave an oil residue once it dries. I’ll keep using it and update if there are any improvements Update: Most of my dark spots have visibly lightened. I honestly believe that with consistent use this can be a great addition to skin care. Only cons are the smell and the amount given, such a small packaging but it is what it is. Still, great product.
