“Whenever I'm struggling with dark spots or hyperpigmentation and no other product is working, I always pull this bad boy out at the end because I know that it will always work”10:32–10:36
“I truly did not know how they're able to compile so many power-packed ingredients into one formula”10:57–11:02

“The smell is not pleasant”
“She's strong. She's not for the weak, but she will get the job done”11:48–11:51
“I definitely recommend this serum to anyone who's really struggling with persistent dark spots and hyperpigmentation that just will not go away”
“I do not recommend putting this on your under eye area if you struggle with dark circles because I did that once. Never again”12:11–12:14
“The texture of the serum is thick and it's slightly creamy, almost like a lightweight ointment serum hybrid”6:50–6:55
“It doesn't absorb instantly and it can feel a bit tacky at first, but this one is packed with actives”6:59–7:05

“This serum is not glamorous, and yes, the smell can be a little strong”7:29–7:38

“This one has a lot of actives in it. So, really start slowly or just use it as a spot treatment, especially if your skin is sensitive or your barrier's compromised”7:53–8:02
“The key here is to stay consistent and when you're using this, do not add any more actives with it”8:05–8:11
“This formula contains niacinamide in the low-to-mid 3% range. Contains tranexamic acid around 2 to 3%. It contains alpha arbutin, kojic acid dipalmitate, and a solid glycerin base”3:09–3:14
“From a pigmentation standpoint, this is a multi-path formula”3:50–3:57
“I love it. It's one of my favorite for skin of color”4:11–4:15
“This version contains ethylin salicylate. This is a synthetic mask added during reformulation to stabilize the scent. By every formulator standard, this is a fragrance ingredient”4:48–4:53
“Fragrance is one of the most common triggers of contact dermatitis in melanin-rich skin”4:57–5:03

“This is a standard emollient lip balm. It's got castor oil, shea butter, vitamin E”5:23–5:29
“Unfortunately, there are no tyrosinase inhibitors in this formula, and there's no SPF 50, which is key because the first part of the body to tan are the lips”5:27–5:33
“At $16, Aquaphor does the same job as this”5:47–5:56
“For this product, I'd rate it a five out of 10. It wasn't really made with black skin in mind”5:54–5:58
“I personally don't think these made a difference”20:20–20:24
“They're getting such good reviews. I did the full treatment of this, and I don't know. My dark spot might be slightly lighter, not enough for me to continue using these”20:22–20:27
