Love it!

Using this along with the balancing oil and they have worked wonders. The oil has helped nourish my skin and the serum has evened my skin tone which between acne scarring and just natural un-eveness was just not looking so great. A great product.

amazing

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
This stuff is awesome. If feels so good on the skin. I have dark skin and this has really evened out the darkness around the bottom half of my face, especially my upper lip area which has always been darker than the rest of my face. I've been using this and an spf 30 broad spectrum moisturizer on my face everyday and have seen great results. And I only use this once a day, at night. Back for another bottle.

I think its working!
-03.05.13
Quick Take: moisturizing
I've been using this product for about a month now and I'm pretty confident that I am seeing results. Some of my acne scarring seems to be fading away. This product smells good and makes your skin super soft after applying it!

Moisturizing, non-greasy serum
-12.05.12
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, non-greasy
I switched my skincare regimen to Jurlique products recently after trying a few samples and getting great results. This serum is definitely a keeper. It absorbs quickly and hydrates my skin without making me break out and without irritating my sensitive skin. I use this in the morning and in the evening right after washing my face and before putting on any other skin products. Of course, with Jurlique you are not getting any toxic ingredients like parabens, which is particularly important to me.

Hydrating!
-11.29.12
Quick Take: hydrating, exfoliating, moisturizing, evens skin tone, combats acne
I absolutely love this product! It is super moisturizing and I definitely started seeing results right away. I never had acne all throughout high school and then right before I started University I broke out like crazy and got a ton of acne scars as a result. 3 years later I have found the perfect product that not only combats my acne but has really faded out my scars. I definitely still have several left but it has made a HUGE impact and I will be purchasing my next bottle very soon. No complaints :)

Works for me!
-11.16.12
Quick Take: brightening
I have medium, normal, Asian skin. I would consistently get a few breakouts during that time of the month and they would leave dark spots because I'm a picker... I started using this on my face and it faded my freckles and evened out my skintone. It didn't make all scars disappear but it really did lighhten them. I am now on my second bottle and I use it as a spot treatment on back acne scars too. It's working everywhere!
There is a strong-ish rose scent which I love but might be offputting to some. But judging from my experience, the scent is worth overlooking for the results.

Have used for a year
-11.07.12
I have combination oily skin and acne scars here and there, so I need a serum to quickly and effectively fade the scars. Initially I tried clinique's even better clinical strength, but that did not do anything. This serum is a little more expensive than the clinique one, but you can truly tell the difference overnight, especially during the first 3 bottles of use. It's very light and smells good. My new acne scars typically faded within 2 weeks. However, I've found this less effective now that I'm on probably the 5th bottle of this. But I definitely recommend this to whoever want to start a try.

There is no miracle at all.
-10.11.12
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I really expected to try this product, but actually when I use it for 3 weeks, nothing happens. It is really thin, absorbed quickly, and does not have very strong smell which I think it's good. However, it makes my oily skin even oilier. I may keep using it to see if it works.

Meh
-09.25.12
Quick Take: doesn't do anything
I bought this to replace a spa bought vitamin C serum. I thought vitamin c serum/lotion would be all alike. Was i wrong. I don't care for the "old lady" smell of this serum. I wish i could provide a fitting description of the scent but the best I can come up w is something akin to Ponds cold cream scent (but worse). I haven't broke out from it, but the serum doesn't fully absorb into my skin; I can tell/feel a layer forms on my face so I know it's not fully being absorbed in. I'm most not going to finish this product.

Didn't really lighten any of my acne dark spots and the bottle makes it difficult to get all the product out. Won't be purchasing again.

Who's it actually works!
-07.13.12
Quick Take: moisturizing, fades brown/red spots, hyperpigmentation
When I saw friends I hadn't seen for a few weeks and they raved at how my skin was glowing, I knew this little warrior was working hard!
As someone who's suffered from severe acne before (and with olive skin tone), my skin had been holding on to those
Pesky brown and red spots. I actually took before/after photos because I was skeptical, and it truly astonished me!
I'm a fan for life.

Love it!
-06.21.12
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, brightening
Just finished my first bottle and I think I'm in love! At first, the smell bothered me a bit because I'm not too fond of perfumey facial products but I got used to it and barely notice it now. I only use this in the morning under sunscreen and makeup and it creates a very smooth base for application. I've noticed that my skin tone and texture have improved overall and acne scars have lightened. I use this all over my face though, didn't just spot treat. It's also very moisturizing. Will purchase my second bottle soon. Highly recommended!

Lives up to its name!
-06.13.12
Fast, effective brightening. I have been using for the past two weeks morning and night on hyper pigmentation spots only. I have seen a significant improvement in the size and deep coloring of the spots already! I use it at night with a retinol which may be speeding the process. The most effective treatment for dark spots I've ever used.

-03.13.12
Quick Take: tightening, preventative
I was skeptical try anything so expensive just for my freckles and acne scars. I took the plunge I am so glad in about ten days no breakouts but brighter and smoother skin . It truly works and worth every penny. I also just started using the Jurlique rebalancing cleanser and they work so well together. I have tried many many products claiming brighter clearer skin but this one really works and year old acne scars .... Wow

Quick Take: fades the spots
This really seemed to be working on my age spots but I am also breaking out, too. Since this is the only product change, I am attributing it to this product. Too bad, because it seemed pretty good.

Makes Skin Glow
-01.19.12
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines
So far I have been using it for about a week and it really makes my skin glow and look younger. I love the texture and feel on the skin. A little goes a long way too. I am dissapointed that I can't find Jurlique in Sephora stores anymore so hope they don't take it off online as well. Get this and you will love the way your skin looks.

-12.29.11
Quick Take: tightening, preventative, smells good
I got this product in order to even out my skintone and attempt to get rid of sun damage which caused my forehead to be 2 shades darker than my face, although it really hasnt helped with that as much as i expected, it definitely has helped significantly with dark spots caused by acne, i used to have clusters of acne scarring on my cheeks but this product has gotten rid of nearly all of the spots in about a month and i still have a lot of product left! i am in love and i will definitely repurchase.

Nice for dark spots/Better than Clinique
-12.28.11
Quick Take: preventative, skin brightener/lightener, removes acne damage
So I decied to get this because it seemed that every new blemish i got on my face left a dark spot instead of going away (its usually a 50/50 chance the breakout wont leave a dk spot, but lately they all were leaving dark spots). I usually get most blemishes around that time however I dont have "great" skin. Anyway, this worked really well for me it worked good on the old spots too. I am african american with a honey/caramel complexion and 26yrs old. I didnt see results right away but give it some time. I am still on my first bottle. I will keep this as a staple. I should also mention I started out only using this at night with the brightening nighttime treatment by jurlique also. But now i use it in the daytime after my morning regimen and before sunscreen and i use this and the nighttime treatment at night. I think this is way better than clinique dk spot tmt because clinique claims you will see results but only after like 2 or 3 bottles and I never saw results (did not buy anymore after 1st bottle) I am not willing to go that long before I see results. This one I would say I saw results maybe after 1 month with some spots being completely gone. It is worth a try for those who dont want to use hydroquinone or some other strong method to remove dk spots.

Supple skin
-12.26.11
Quick Take: brighten skin, smooth
I love Jurlique product! This is like the must have and sometimes I use this before putting my makeup base and my makeup stayed the whole day which was great!
This product smells good, although its a small bottle but I only need 2 pump for the whole face.
My skin feels supple and brighten after two weeks of using it day and night.
If Im being lazy Ill just use this instead of other moisturizer and lotion.
