This serum is one of the best all-round anti-oxidant and dark spot serums containing:
- vitamin c
- Glutathion!!
- 5% niacinamide
- Q10
- Alpha Arbutin
(Unfortunately they removed TXA)

Skin type: combi acne prone

This is not just a dark spot serum, its a perfect anti-oxidant serum in the morning. Glutathion is a killer ingredient and the concentration of Vit C is low.

This is an okay serum for brightening. I have dry, eczema and rosacea skin and didn’t have any issues with breakouts or irritation BUT I didn’t see any big improvement either and used for about 3 months. I found that it left a slightly tacky feeling no matter how long I left between steps in my routine. No smells or fragrances so that was also a plus.
