Hada Labo Premium Whitening Lotion 20 ingredients
finished using the whole bottle, i used it day and night but didn’t really notice a difference in my dark spots or hyperpigmentation :( my dark spots look a little lighter but idk if that’s just a placebo or if it’s just fading away on its own with time. i have another bottle but it’s the rich moist version so hopefully that works a little better

The only toner I wouldn't change in my routine. It helps with uneven skin tone and dull skin. Left my face soft, and I usually pair it with HA Vit A serum.
