This is a nice gentle, yet effective option for fading hyperpigmentation and refining pores. I’ve been using this serum to reduce stubborn acne marks, and it’s made a huge difference. My complexion is more even, I have fewer breakouts, and my pores are less clogged. I’ve also seen some fading in post-inflammatory erythema (PIE). This serum doesn’t contain AHA, BHA, retinoids, or hydroquinone, and it’s quickly become one of my top picks for hyperpigmentation ♥️
