Waste of money; does not work

I’ve been using this faithfully twice a day for over two months and it has done absolutely nothing to lighten the dark spots on my face and hands. Total waste of money.

Hello Britturt! Thank you for sharing your experience with Revitalift Derm Intensives 12% Niacinamide + Amino Sulfonic Acid + Ferulic Acid Dark Spot Serum. We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with this serum. It certainly sounds like you gave it plenty of time. When trying to fade dark spots its very important to use a sunscreen daily to keep more dark spots from forming. If its in your makeup, that's great, otherwise, use something like Bright Reveal SPF 50 Daily UV Lotion during the AM. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @800-322-2036 9 AM to 5:30 PM ET M – F
