Did nothing for my skin, i think it may have even aggravated it more
AXIS - Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum 25 ingredients
This product does work, but it should be noted that it takes a good while to see results. I would say compared to the Anua working for me within 2 weeks I really didn't notice any results until the 4 week mark and that was from using it morning at night. I did purchase this product while it was on sale, but I don't think I liked it enough to repurchase this at regular price.
Cleared two unsightly scars I had on my face, granted they were from picking at my skin rather than acne scars, but definitely cleared them quick enough for me to feel happier about my appearance!
However I believe this was one of the products contributing to my fungal acne flare up :(
