So far I am incredibly impressed with this formula. I am 40 years old and grew up in the Southern California sun. Add to that hormones and you’ve got freckles, melasma, hyperpigmentation and still occasional adult acne. I have literally used everything but for whatever reason got sucked into an Instagram ad and here we are. I’ve been using this for about a month. The first week I thought I detected a change but I was skeptical. By week 2 I was wearing less makeup, waking up looking refreshed and seeing less breakouts too. By week 3 the change is undeniable. I’ve had a large patch of melasma on my cheek for years which all of a sudden is almost completely gone. Not only are freckles and pigmentation breaking up and disappearing, but I seem to be getting some anti- wrinkling and brightening benefits too. I know hydriquione should be used sparingly so I’ll look to see if I can switch over to their other product without it soon, but this one will really impress you! It’s a keeper
