Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum - Glycolic Acid - 1 Fl Oz

My skin went through hell last year. It was painful, embarrassing, and left me with tons of hyperpigmentation that wasn’t there before. My skin texture also suffered a bunch. I tried an expensive laser treatment that only made things worse, which left me even more depressed about my skin situation. At this point, I figured I didn’t have anything to lose by trying the “slow and steady” approach. I turned to this hoping it would address the hyperpigmentation problems. This wasn’t the only product I started with - I also added a micellar water to help cleanse my skin beforehand, daily extra strength peel pads by another brand, and a liquid to help clear my pores from another. Let’s just say I didn’t have high hopes going in, especially after shelling out big bucks for someone to shoot lasers at my face, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I think I maybe tried another product or two, but I’ve already forgotten what they are because I quickly determined which ones were working for me. I could tell pretty quickly that this was working for me. I actually made a point to take “before” pictures so that I could take “after” ones so I would be able to tell for myself if anything was working. The pics I’ve added here are almost exactly one month apart, are not edited except to zoom in and black out portions of my face, and are taken in the same position in the same room that only has one light source so the lighting and everything is as close to the the same as I could get it. I was happily shocked after I started seeing actual results! I was so excited that I could count myself among the people who had good experiences with this product! I used this almost every night of the week, and used it as the final step in my skincare routine. While I still have a ways to go with my skin, I’m fine with that. I haven’t had any cystic acne since I started this new skincare journey. My skin looks almost normal again. The spots of hyperpigmentation are definitely fading. My skin texture is improving. After I was feeling like this had done everything it could for me, I switched back to two RX creams through a D2C subscription service: one with tretinoin/azelaic acid/niacinimide/tranexamic acid, and the other with hydroquinone/kojic acid/hydrocortisone/azelaic acid. The only thing that I know can’t be helped by topicals is the issue of skin laxity that I think came from the laser treatment (or at least it was made much worse by it), so I would like to try a series of professional microneedling to address that soon. Anyway, all in all, I think this did exactly what I hoped it would do, and it was worth the investment for me. It’s not cheap, so that alone makes it not for everyone, but if you have similar issues I was having, and you manage your expectations appropriately, *and* are able to afford this, I say don’t hesitate. My only gripe with it is that it is a little sticky, and sometimes I feel like it’s hard to get the past but out of the bottle. While I do love this product and want to cycle it back into my skincare regimen, the price has me looking for alternatives since there is a lot of competition in the marketplace. I’ll edit this in the future if I end up circling back here after an unsuccessful search. However, I personally do not regret starting with this product (and the others I mentioned) in order to get my skin to a good place again. I’m thankful for this product, and it’s good to know it’s there if I should ever need to return to it, though I hope I won’t! Oh - and whether you try this or not, **make sure you use sunscreen every day**!!! That might be one of the single best things you can do for your skin. Whatever you try, good luck! I hope you find what works for your skin!

Although this serum is a bit pricey, it’s the only product I’ve found that really works in making the dark spots on my face fade. I’ve tried so many other brands but none have worked as well as this one.

The Murad serum completely removed a black spot from the border of my eye lid- much too close the eye to use RF or any other treatment. The other reviews that complain about this product are unfounded in my opinion. The serum HAS to be sticky so it stays in the exact point of application. If used in small quantities there is no substantive odor whatsoever. The product when used as directed will actually "burn through" the skin to vanquish the dark spot. There may be some stinging involved- but hey; this is exactly what the product is supposed to do. It took 4-5 days to completely remove the spot- which was about 3 mm in diameter. The product forms like a clear coating over the point of application much like a liquid bandage does. I advise not tearing off this protective coating too soon otherwise some skin may come along with it. I actually did this, and there was a little bleeding- kind of like skinning your knee. However, the black spot was completely gone and the new skin underneath was my natural skin color. There was no scarring or anything- just the black spot being gone. I have thin sensitive skin, so the olive skin types or darker skin types, being thicker and tougher, may require more time for the process to complete. That said, don't give up on it; it really will work. I am not sure if the product works on birth marks. My spot just emerged out of seemingly nowhere, and was present for about 4 months until I blasted it with Murad!. Last note, this product is not really for wide applications over the face or elsewhere- it is literally to completely remove spots on and individual basis. If you have a wide area problem with spots all around, I would not recommend this product as that use is not really consistent with intended use. I would definitely recommend this product. What's 85 bucks to literally erase a black spot from your precious face?

I am using this product for almost two months. It seems is working. My face looks much better than before. but I expected much better results.

The product is fine. It works great on my skin. I've used it before and it helps get rid of dark sunspots... The only reason it didn't get a 5 stars is because the container actually leaked for an unknown reason. All over the inside of my drawer and I had to get my husband to rig it somehow so I could continue to use what little was left in there...

This stuff actually works. No, my stubborn dark spots didn't entirely go away. But it did help a lot after using one bottle.

This is the only product I’ve ever used that has actually lightened my dark spots I have had CO2 laser which was painful and expensive Murad produced similar lightening with no pain and way less expensive yes it works slowly but for me It worked

So far so good. I think I can see a difference and it’s been about a week and a half.

One of those products that I use twice a day and wouldn't want to be without. Have been using for approximately a year now. My face is very sensitive and prone to sun damage so I won't be without it.

No me gusto, ya que no contiene hidroquinona para las manchas

Works like a charm on age related skin discoloration!! Expensive but totally worth the investment for an even skin tone and dewy glow complexion.

It works. You have to be diligent in using it everyday.

Every year I get this dark discoloration on my forehead in the summer. I try to wear a hat but it's not always possible while being out and about in the city. I tried this product as it was recommended on search engines as one of the best products for pigmentation and they weren't wrong. I actually get this ahead of every summer and use it and I see a big difference. I use it during and after my holidays and the discoloration goes away by September or so. Definitely recommend.
