This product i have thoroughly used and emptied. It took a little over a year to finish

I dont see this as a stand alone product. On its own its not a hydrater or a dark spot corrector per say. I see it has a product that helps cover all your bases and aid the heavy duty products.

by itself i believe its doing ts job but it is not a noticeable difference from just feeling or looking. you will still need other products for the "feel like im moisturized"

(im saying this because, just because something feels a certain way doesnt mean its actually working
i.e. the cleanser feels gentle but its still stripping my skin of its sebum)

The niacimide over a long period of time (months) has definitely lightened my dark spots. And i know its from this product because i havent used any other skin correcting ingredients all year.

This product is not a miracle worker. but it does what it is suppose to do, its cheap and lasts a whole year. so even when you dont have money for your pricey stuff you will always still have this, to cover all your bases.

But i just found out it may not be fungal acne friendly. WHY!!!! :(
