Anonmous - 1 month ago
This gave me one of the worst breakouts that I have had all year. A few days ago my pimples were the sizes of mosquito bites and I kept on getting little white heads and clogged pore while using this. The breakout and texture led me to my barrier being compromised and it’s disappointing because I worked super hard fixing it all just to go back to square one.

The better option for dark spots!

I was looking for a safer option for my dark spots from surgery. The doc gave me Hydroquinone but it's only safe to use for max of 3 months. If uses longer than that the dark spots would worsen. I did some research and found that Arbutus is a better and safer option for dark spots and can be use long term. Also it is fungal-acne safe. IYKYK.

This helps quicken my acne healing. I heard a dermatologst say alpha arbutin and tretinoin help improve hyperpigmentation so I will have to try the combo.

I used two bottles in 10 months daily and saw no difference in my hyperpigmentation. All the 5 stars reviews here are reposted from the Naturium website where I guess they delete the negative reviews.

IMPROVED MY DARK SPOTS

I am a melanated person with dehydration prone normal skin. I am not acne prone, but I have always had stubborn dark marks from wearing glasses since I was 8 ( I am 22). I have tried every natural and drugstore remedy, but nothing has ever seemed to work. I tried this in combination with naturium's tranexamic acid serum & vitamin c serum from from august to november and I have never seen such an improvement. I also seal it all in with a moisturizer with spf 50. I will definitely try this again for another 3 months.

Please Change The Design of Your Opaque Bottles

Swank - 1 year ago
originally posted on Naturium
I've purchased 3 of your products: The Tranexamic Acid; The Alpha Arbutin Serum; and the Hyaluronic Acid Serum 5%. I cannot attest to the efficacy of any of these products because the products are very thick and sticky and they seem to dry out before I can use them. The bottles are also opaque for some reason, so i cannot tell how much product is remaining. Please change the design of the bottles and perhaps make some improvements to the consistency of the formula

This product definitely worked to reduce my dark spots. I saw results near the end of the bottle. It didn’t irritate me and was gentle enough to use every day. Don’t notice much change to freckle type spots, but nonetheless an effective formula. I have repurchased!

This is my favorite active ingredient for hyperpigmentation. Hands down alpha arbutin is the showstopper over all other brightening agents.
