This serum was featured quite a bit so I decided to try it out. The price is high for 1 fl. oz of product but despite it being small it does last well over a month for me. This product is for repairing dark spots for UV rays, acne scars, etc and to quell irritations to prevent more dark spots. Rose Roxburghii is the featured ingredient and says it helps brighten the skin. The great thing about this product is that it doesn't have parabens as well as phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, PABA, petrolatum, paraffin, DEA, synthetic fragrance, and animal ingredients.

I'm always skeptical of dark spot corrector serums since they do very little to none help to dark spots aside from natural skin shedding and the occasional exfoliating. But this product I can actually noticed my dark spots lighten up faster than before. The serum is lotion like and goes on the skin smoothly. It hasn't caused me any irritations or clogged any pores. I only use this serum to spot treat my skin rather than cover my whole face with it. I apply it on day and night. So far I really like this product. After almost two months of use it doesn't do as well as the first couple weeks, but its better than nothing. It does well on acne scars but hasn't done much to the sun spots that I've had for years. It does brighten my skin a bit since it rather moisturizing.

Overall this product is great. It helps but its not dramatic. I think for the price its worth it since it worked better than any dark spot and uneven skintone corrector I've used.
