I purchased this product from my local beauty supply store for around $6, regularly it retails for $10. I purchased the version for oily skin which would offer a matte finish without exacerbating oily skin. I applied this fade cream to the dark spots on my face only (not all over) twice a day, once during the day after cleansing before moisturizer and makeup and once again at night.

After nine weeks I saw results. My dark marks were lightly faded but the skin around my dark marks had lightened considerably. I decided to discontinue use at that point. So the cream worked, just not as I hoped it would.

The cream is thick and white and smells exactly like rubber bands. It absorbed quickly and dried to a matte finish.

I cannot live without this product. It is my skin repairing, preventing and maintenance regiment. I like that is doesn't leave your skin shinny or too oily. The texture of this product allows your skin to completely absorb it. Plus non like other fade cream Skin Success isn't as harsh, it blends well with your natural skin color. If you are like me and suffered from acne this is the perfect product for you. It will take care of the discoloration left behind by your acne. (a.ka. acne scares)
