Does a great job with brightening and improving the color of skin. I'm super pale, and in the winter especially, my skin looks really dull. This helps gently exfoliate the top layer and helps bring out a pink undertone. Haven't been using it long enough to notice any change in fine lines, but I definitely recommend it for brightening.

No brightening - 11.08.09
Quick Take: natural, gentle formula

This serum (actually looks and feels like lotion) is not worth $65. I noticed no "brightening" and am unsure exactly what this means now. When reading the product bottle's "How to," it recommends applying BEFORE moisturizing. I was under the impression this IS a moisturizer. I'm looking to simplify my morning routine, not compound it. On the flip side, I do appreciate Skyn Iceland's exclusion of unnecessary chemicals, additives, etc. This product is going back.

I like it - 09.30.09
Quick Take: natural, gentle formula

I was a little hesitant to try this but have used it for nearly a month and I've noticed my complexion is brighter. It probably isn't noticable to anyone but me however it's cheaper than lasers or peels. I would recommend but don't expect miracles.

Amazing serum!!! - 09.11.09
Quick Take: natural, great for stress, great for sleep deprived skin, brightening, tightening, wrinkle reducing, gentle, smells like lemon

This has got to be the best serum for stress, busy lives, and long, tiring days! I recommend putting it on right before bed, when your skin is stressed to get the full benefit of the serum. If you had a really long tiring day or didn't wash your face for a long time, or didn't get much sleep, it'll definitely change your face for the better in the morning!!

Super lighweight but effective - 08.05.09
Quick Take: natural

I tend to be really skeptical of beauty products (especially expensive ones), but I have to admit that this serum lives up to its description. My skin tone is definitely more even, post-blemish redness disappears faster, and my skin looks smoother. It is super lightweight, so it feels good under moisturizer and sunscreen.

Cure for the "DULLS" - 06.10.09
Quick Take: gentle formula, paraben free

I love Skyn products and this is a new one that I have been using for a few weeks now. Recently, my son came for a visit and and said how much better I was looking. This serum-like product has made my skin stronger and less reactive. I have noticed that the flakiness I had is now gone. I hope that continued use will improve the changes I have already noticed. I have not suffered clogged pores with this product either.

Glow from the inside out! - 04.24.09
Quick Take: illuminated and well rested look

I absolutely love this serum. I have dry skin that lacks that beautiful glow due to many factors, including lack of sleep. This serum is my go to product before I put anything else on. Instantly gives me glow without using glitter. Highly reccomended after a late night as well as for long term healing effects.

This brightening serum is wonderful. It is gentle, lightweight and makes your skin feel and look great. All skyn products are great for sensitive and acne prone skin. I haveI started using about 1 year ago and love all their facial products.

Impressive product! - 03.19.09
Quick Take: natural, gentle formula

I immediately liked how this serum felt and that is absorbed quickly. Not greasy or tacky like some other serums. I've been using regularly for 3+ weeks now and my skin is noticeably brighter and feels great. I've begun using my (expensive) daily peel pads less frequently since I've been using this serum. I've never been disappointed in a Skyn Iceland product. They deliver what they say they will (love th descriptions on their boxes). Give this one a try.

Good moisturizer... - 03.06.09
Quick Take: gentle formula

Skyn's brightening serum is a nice lightweight moisturizer, but I didn't notice any visible reduction in fine lines around my eyes which is the reason I purchased it. This product just didn't work for me.

Gradual Improvement - 12.01.08
Quick Take: natural, gentle formula, retexturizing, brightening

I feel that this is very lightweight, almost turns to water when it hits the skin, which I like. Because you are supposed to put under your moisturizer. I like that it doesn't feel heavy. I noticed after a week, that my skin was getting more even and my pores and post blemish scars were calming down and getting less noticable. I really like this and feel that if I keep this up, I will be looking forward to some pretty remarkable results. I feel that this and the stress defense cream by Iceland are the two most potent anti-age products in the line.

This works very well - brightens tired, dull skin and is not oily. My skin is very acne prone and this was good for it. Kind of pricy, but you only need a little bit.
