I'm new to this brand, but they claim to be cruelty free / vegan, etc. Of course - my first question to the sales associate was, whether this brand is sold in China or not (spoiler alter - Odacite is NOT sold there). As you may (or may not) know, brands may claim to be cruelty free in Europe/N America, but once it's sold in China, the product MUST be tested on animals. So I try to let my wallet do the talking, and am slowly moving my skincare products to brands that are cruelty free.
I have a touch of hyperpigmentation on my forehead (ugh, no clue why). I've tried a slew of products, but none were super effective. This little vial definitely did the trick! $39USD for 5ml. Super concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
