In the long term, it has actually made a difference about my dark spots, but the ingredients confuse me a little: It has a very high concentration of Lemon Extract (around 80%) but in the other hand this ingredient is way less effective than Vitamin-C itself, which also appears in the formula, but so down in the list that I really doubt it's above a 1%. I think Niacinamide (4%) and Tranexamic Acid (4%) are the ones doing the brightening job here, despite being marketed as a Vitamin-C product. But as I said before, it works anyway.
What I don't really like about it is how artificial it feels: It has a gel texture perfect for oily/acne-prone skin that won't clog your pores at all, but it's very sticky and can't pill sometimes. Plus it has a very strong citrusy chemical scent, It reminds me as a kitchen citric grease remover. I really don't love the experience, but considering how inexpensive it is, and the benefits, we can't ask for more. Overall is a really good product.
