Stinky!!
-04.23.12
Quick Take: stinky, overpriced
I have to admit that I'm thoroughly disappointed in this product. I LOVE Exfolikate and was convinced all of Kate Somerville's products would be similar. But this product does not help fight acne and has not made a significant difference on my dark spots. I would be willing to give this more than a several week shot, but the smell is offensive. I can hardly get my husband to kiss me goodnight! Sadly, I will no longer be using this product.

overpriced and ineffective
-02.12.12
I was thoroughly disappointed with this. I used this in conjunction with the matching day perfector and saw minimal results on my red acne scars. Also did nothing for my current acne. Waste of money.

smells bad
-02.11.12
Quick Take: non-oily, smelly
I honestly haven't used this long enought to know if it's going to fade my dark spots. Thus far, it feels light going on, but the smell is awful. Why do some of these facial products have to smell so bad?? Also very pricy-I would consider it worth it if I start to see some real results.

Quick Take: moisturizing, can be used as spot treatment, non-oily
The product seemed to work well initially ,however, after a while it didn't seem to do anything other than moisturize.An expensive moisturizer

Complexion Correction in every way!
-02.06.12
Quick Take: miracle cream
As a teenager I thought sunscreen was something for "old people" and now have to deal with the results of that stupidity... I have tried all other Whitening products Sephora has and nothing did anything UNTIL I found this! I use all 3 products (the daily corrector and the spot treatment) and not only are my spots fading but my pores are shrinking and as other reviewers said, I had no more breakouts since I started it. At this point I don't even use foundation every day anymore. My husband is now using it too and he tells me how people now go out of there way to tell him how nice his skin looks... Give it a couple of weeks though, no product is going to work in only five days, which explains the frustration of the prior reviewer.

If it sounds too good to be true...
-02.05.12
When I saw that every single other review for this product was 5 stars, I really got my hopes up. I used this about 5 times and there has been absolutely no real difference in my skin. It may be slightly "brighter" the morning after, but my red post-acne marks are the same as always. I also did not notice any effect on current acne that other reviewers noted. Basically, this didn't do a single thing it advertised for me. I guess the old adage "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is" really applies here. This is the first product I have ever returned to Sephora. I personally could not recommend this to anyone.

Truly Amazing
-01.16.12
Quick Take: can be used as spot treatment, non-oily
Very impressed. I have tried a lot of similar products and this one has had truly amazing results. My skin scars from the occasional breakout and it always takes weeks for the discoloration to go away. I used this and I saw results within 3 days. Pricey but well worth it. Doesn't smell great but you get over it when you see the results.

Great for acne scarring
-11.25.11
Quick Take: moisturizing, can be used as spot treatment, non-oily
I have active acne and acne scarring. I've been using this product for about three weeks and have seen a notable difference in my skin coloration. I also use the spot correction treatment. The red dots have lightened and my face does not break out as much as it use to. The treatment is very hydrating and does not dry out your skin, but it also does not make your skin oily. When I wake up in the morning my skin is incredibly soft. I would recommend this product to anyone who has acne scarring.

Best Acne Product
-11.24.11
This is supposed to help with discolouration and age spots (which it does) BUT I have noticed not only my acne scares have gotten lighter, but my acne problems have deceased. I wear this on most of my face cause i suffer from acne, and acne scarring... but seriously I will wake up with no zits when I use this! IN LOVE!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!
-11.21.11
Quick Take: moisturizing, non-oily
This is the first Kate Somerville product I have tried and I love it! I am a self proclaimed product junkie and this is a keeper all the way. I had some red spots and I noticed a remarkable difference after only one applications. It has been almost a week and I am just super impressed. I will definitely look to this line as I need product. The only negative (and it is minor) is the initial smell of the product. I don't like it but it quickly diminishes and the pros of the product far outweigh that one little con.

Gentle

Quick Take: moisturizing, non-oily, a little smelly
I started using this a week ago, and already my skin looks brighter. It's really gentle, I haven't noticed any dry spots like with some similar products. I'm looking forward to full results and a clearer complexion!
