Here's what our community thinks
Mediheal Vitamide Brightening Pad 35 ingredients
This one works at removing dark spots, but it has to be consistent. My skin typically tastes months, plural, before marks lighten up. This one managed to make a scar mark disappear within a month. A small one, yes, but given everything I've tried, that's pretty promising.
Now that I've gotten more marks, it's time to see how well it works at eliminating them. Second round!
