What They Say: "A synergistic mixture of botanical extracts, amino acids, and vitamins which help to normalize and inhibit the production of excess melanin gently and safely without the use of harsh chemicals. All skin types can use this as a spot treatment for hyper pigmentation. Active ingredients include embilica fruit extract (lightening and melanin inhibiting) and date fruit extract (also lightening and melanin inhibiting)."

Jen's Experience: I have been excited to try a brightening product on my skin because I have some spots near my hair line and on my upper lip that are darker than the rest of the skin on my facem probably from sun overexposure. Although I have a ton of skin care products already in my regime, I added this one over a month ago to both my morning and evening routine in the hopes of making a dent in these areas. Did it work? Well, not completely, but enough that I will continue to use this product in my daily routine. The areas definitely lighter and less noticable, but I am not sure if it's just that or that since I never see daylight at this time of year that my skin is just naturally that much lighter. I wish the texture of this product was a little thicker. It's quite fluid and I have trouble targeting specific areas on my face. I also think the smell of the product is a little obnoxious, but at least it's not long-lasting. Overall? I was just hoping for a bit more out of this product.
