    Has been working to get rid of dark spots on my chin

    I bought this because people raved about how it helped to get rid of hyper pigmentation on their skins. I have been using it for about a week now and I have to say that all the reviews are right. I have noticed that my dark spots on my skin have been getting better. I will continue to be using this and all buy it again.

    Lightweight, non-greasy, but haven't really seen results

    I've been using this product twice a day for about three weeks, and haven't noticed a difference in my dark spots or blotchiness. That said, I have pretty bad sun damage, so I might just need a different solution.

    The product itself is really nice. I've been using it as a base before my other serums and oils, and it's really lightweight and non-greasy, which I appreciate.

    You can't go wrong with the price either!

    I'm going to continue using this until the bottle is empty, and see if the results become more noticeable over time.

    Did not do anything for my skin!

    I love The Ordinary as a brand but this product did not workout for me because it did not deliver any results. I used it till the end and now change was made in my skin. It did not reduce the appearance of spots and hyper-pigmentation as promised.

    Great for fading scars and redness!

    This has made a difference in fading my scars and redness for sure. It isn’t a miracle worker I have worked really hard clearing up my skin so this is by no means a cure all but it did help contribute to my skin’s overall colouring. It’s a good value like all Ordinary products so I would recommend it as part of a route to fade acne scarring and redness.

    Love

    Since starting to use The Ordinary skincare line I will never turn back. I love this one, it is helping clear up my acne scars and makes my skin feel so smooth. I like to use a little bit of this in combination with the niacinamide mixture. Its fantastic.

    Ageless

    This gem is a miracle worker!!! A few drops of this applied to my cheeks, under eyes & forehead is all I need to turn back the clock a few years. On my cheeks & forehead this is lightening my freckles and slight discoloration from previous sun exposure when i was young & dumb (ie not wearing sunscreen). On my under eye it is plumping & firming the skin. Love it and the price is wonderful!

    This one was a fail for me

    I had high hopes for this to brighten and fade some hyper-pigmentation on an old scar but it had the opposite effect on me. After the third time I used this, everything looked darker so I stopped. It was disappointing but I paid less than $10 so I didn't get too bent. My daughter has a darker complexion and oily skin, with active acne and the dark marks and pits from old cystic acne. I gave it to her and she's had great success, acne drying up quicker, less breakouts and the dark marks have almost faded after only one bottle. After seeing her success I doubted myself and gave it another go but had the same darkening reaction. I'm a fan of other products from The Ordinary that meet my needs but can't recommend this one based on MY experience.

    I wish this brand would've been around years ago!

    Like many of The Ordinary's products, this works just as well as an anti-aging treatment as it does an acne treatment. Therefore, I use it for both. Either wear it alone before moisturizer, or apply it along with other serums and treatments. It is lightweight, non-irritating, and super effective! Just be patient, like many brightening agents it can take some time for the benefits to show.
