Holy grail dark spot lightener?

I’ve always had dark spots and post acne brown marks especially on my forehead 😩 I have been using Melano CC’s Vit C Essence for 1 year and saw great results - it even lightened the tiny mole on my face! 😂 I love that it’s so affordable and does not oxidize fast like normal Vitamin C serums. As I just finished this tube, am wondering if there are any other holy grail lightening spot treatments that you recommend? ✨✨✨ Would love to give them a try

I’ve tried this before and it really works! ✨✨ Just have to keep it away from sunlight and really airtight as it oxidizes super quickly! My bottle was totally yellow by 8 months. 😩 Thanks for reminding me of this! 🍋🌟

I’ve had to bring out the VIPs to fade 2 sun spots on my face: Topicals Faded (which has Niacinamide, tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin, azelaic acid, and kojic acid) and the Cos de Baha Hydroquinone serum (if you’re deeper skinned, do your research before using hydroquinone, as it can be troublesome for some people).

I’d start with the Faded, as I think it’s more gentle and has fewer potential issues. Hydroquinone is a bit controversial, but it is effective, so if you have a spot that just won’t go away with anything else, that’s the way to go. Just give them long enough to work- atleast a couple of months (though you may see some lightening sooner).
