    Wonderful product!

    This is a great treatment for hyperpigmentation, I love that the inkey list products don’t have a sticky feeling and ACTUALLY melt into my skin! They also don’t have horrible perfumes in them and smell neutral! I am currently using all Inkey list products and have been for the last 3-4 years! The skin quiz and online support have helped me clean up my acne!

    Perfect spot treatment

    It actually works, and fast. At home you can leave a dot of the product on the spots (it works the fastest) or if you don’t want to have a green spot on the face you can smudge it in over areas with acne. Perfect for big pimples, I use it 2-3 times a day for fastest results.
