Not a miracle worker
-05.14.13
Quick Take: moisturizing
Whilst this product doesn't remove dark spots or pigmentation, it does leave skin hydrated and more healthy looking. It has a brownish tinge to it, and that kinda makes skin appear more even, but it definitely does not remove pigmentation. Overall though, it has great ingredients so I do know that its helping my skin look and function better.

Amazing!
-04.24.13
I got to take home a sample of this cream a couple months ago because I had enough points on my card to pick a gift at the store. I didn't use it until a couple of days ago and in this little time I really notice a change in my skin! In less then 5 days I can notice the coloring is better, my dark spots are starting to fade, and my acne has improved as well. I am definitely buying this product!!

The BEST for Removing Redness
-04.22.13
Quick Take: exfoliating
I bought this and one from Clinque last year. With this one I noticed a LOT less redness in only a few days. Not too much with lightening any dark spots, although there was some lightening, but my skin looks so much CLEARER and BRIGHTER it is DEFINITELY worth it for me. Be sure to apply first before any moisturizer, etc.....With the Clinque one, you get a lot more product, but I couldn't tell any difference whatsoever and the redness all came back. I'm going back to this one.

it works
-04.21.13
Quick Take: effective
i first received it as a sample, and it brought me back for more.
it really does work. for me, since i wasn't 'religious' about application, it was somewhat slow results, but even then I could tell it was working. I'm betting it does even more if the proper instructions are followed!

Quick Take: effective
I have sun damaged skin and couldn't keep up with my brown spots emerging on my face until I tried Miracle Worker. It faded the ones I already had and I swear it is preventing additional ones from appearing. Goes on smooth, I use it at night.

Doesn't work
-04.07.13
Quick Take: moisturizing
I have some acne scars on my face, and I bought this product from Sephora. I used it twice a day with minimal sun exposure as I told to do so. I used the whole bottle, and did not see any change on my dark spot. Waste of money !!!!

Quick Take: dark, claims unfulfilled
I tried this faithfully and it didn't work at all. There are other philosophy products like help me that do a much better job at the dark spot claim and also boost a dewy health glow. But not this!

Kinda works
-02.21.13
Quick Take: moisturizing, whitening, gentle formular
I bought this hoping to get rid of my dark spots cause by being under the sun. I used it about 2 weeks now, one time in the morning and one time before bed. My face did became lighter in color (kind of like whitening), but my dark spots didn't become lighter. I can't say this product wouldn't work because my skin did became lighter overall, just not my dark spots. I think I would buy it again if I have the $ for it!

No Difference
-01.30.13
I received a pretty nice-sized sample tube of this and was excited to use it. However, I have seen no sign of improvement from my dark spots after 4 weeks of consecutive daily use. Definitely won't be buying.

-01.09.13
This works better than anything else I've ever tried! I know it's expensive but it's really worth it to me. Really evens out my skin tone and lightens my acne scars, feels good on my skin. Better than the clinique dark spot corrector which broke my skin out.

Dark spot correctors usually take a while to work on my olive skin, so I can't tell yet if this makes a difference. I do like that it is unscented and does not irritate my sensitive skin. And it has a tint which appears to hide some discoloration temporarily.

Product ok.
-11.28.12
I purchased this product hoping to fade away a large "freckle." I have had freckles on my face and body my whole life. This freckle is the result of sun exposure and probably could be classified as an age spot (but not like the ones on my hands). I am 43 in case someone wants to know. This product may have lightened it a little but it doesn't want to go away. So it didn't help me in my purpose. Can't comment on if it has help keep away new freckles.

This stuff really is a miracle
-10.31.12
I have had moderate acne for over five years and have a lot of scars from picking at my skin every day. I tried the Clinique dark spot corrector with little results and decided not to use it again after reading about the ingredent in it that may cause cancer. So I tried Miracle Worker and its amazing! Within a week or two my scars were noticably reduced and my acne was nearly cured! I ve been using the dark spot corrector now for about a month and I feel like I have new skin. This product changed the texture and feel of my skin and reduced my scars and acne by 80-90%. The only thing I recommened is to follow the directions and use sunscreen every day on your skin even if you think you arent outside alot. I noticed that my skin seemed red and irritated the first few times I used the product without using sunscreen. This product is definitely worth trying!

Quick Take: fades dark spot somewhat
Miracle Worker _did_ fade a prominent age spot under my right eye after about 2-3 weeks of use, but it never banished it completely. I didn't find that it did anything else to my skin: Miracle Worker didn't perform any miracles with softness, hydration, etc. I'm going to try another dark spot corrector (MW was the first one I've purchased). If none of these products can fully fade the dark spot, then I'll go back to Miracle Worker.

I have acne scars, so needed to have a spot corrector. It worked very well comparing others. I will repurchase this spot corrector once it runs out
