I am multiracial living in the desert of SoCal so I am prone to hyperpigmentation. I've tried lots of different lightening products and have always been concerned about those containing Hydroquinone (mainly because of the addition of Mercury). I was excited to try this because 1. It's Arcona and I've trusted them for years and 2. it contains Kojic Acid which is a safe alternative to Hydroquinone.

This works wonderfully on old acne scars/dark spots I had on my face that were about a month old. With nightly use as directed(definitely don't want to use in the a.m. - a bit heavy) my spots faded in about 2 weeks. Much faster than other products I've used. It works great with other Arcona products as well. I think it works in synergy with them.

About a month ago I developed a horribly case of pityriasis rosea and my neck, decollete, and torso was left with horrible hyperpigmentation. I used this stuff like lotion on those areas and it quickly faded my neck and decollete within 2 weeks ! (I will say that I was exfolliating daily with Cranberry Gommage so maybe that is a factor as well) SO grateful for this product - it has me back on track for summer! The best part is I didn't have to succumb to steroid creams or Rx meds to fade my spots. Highly recommended!

ARCONA Brightening Drops

    Comments about ARCONA Brightening Drops, Skin Brightening Serum, 1 ea:

    The product generally seems to work slowly. You won't see the spots fade away completely but you'll notice a brighter complexion as a whole after a few weeks.
    But then again I'm also using the Arcona Brightening Gommage. Been using it months before this Brightening Drops. And the Gommage does work wonder. You'll began to notice results right away.
    The pump, however, is horrible and difficult to control. It's very hard to dispense and when it finally does, it dispenses wayyy too much. So I feel like it's a waste of product.

    I was pleased with this product for having a slow yet noticeable impact on lightening my spots which come from too much sun and is aggravated by medication use.
    Yet after I used only about half the bottle it began to change colors and oxidize and seem useless. So I had to throw it away- maybe they need to come up with better packaging to fix this

      Comments about ARCONA Brightening Drops, Skin Brightening Serum, 1 ea:

      This product burns and stings like none other. It instantly makes my skin red and it makes that skin peel off everyday I use it. I am going to call Arcona and ask about this issue. I have used much more gentle products that have easily lightened my skin in the past, but it has been so many years, I do not recall the products. I would NOT recommend this product AT ALL, unless I hated that person. Then I MIGHT consider it. :P

      I too read the reviews thinking this product would go above and beyond. I also looked at the review saying I should not buy this product, but I thought it was just an exception. Boy was I wrong.

              Based on the reviews and all the other Arcona products I use, I thought this product was going to be my answer.....I have been using it for two weeks and haven't seen a difference. If anything, the one age spot on my face looks like it's gotten darker. The only thing I can think of is that maybe instead of following the directions where it says to make it the last step, I should follow what others are doing and use it after the toner and before the moisturizer......We'll see.....

              I have been using this product for several weeks now, and have noticed a definite lightening of my freckles and improved overall skin tone. I use the gel after washing in the evening and let it sit for a few minutes before applying moisturizer. It has a slightly sticky consistency, but is not unpleasant or difficult to apply. If I use the serum after exfoliating, I do notice a very slight stinging sensation. I have used a similar product in the past, which was twice the cost of Arcona's lightening serum per ounce, yet definitely did not provide such positive results so quickly. I will reorder this product again. If you remember to use a strong sunscreen with any sun exposure, you should see a definite improvement in skin tone with Arcona Lightening Drops. It does work.

                I have Asian skin that is prone to hyperpigmentation, so I bought this get rid of dark spots that past acne breakouts have left behind. I've been using it twice a day (after toner, before moisturizer) for about a month, and it's made a huge difference! The fainter dark spots are completely gone, and the darker ones have faded noticeably. The only con I can think of is that it has a faint medicine-y scent, but that is much better than added fragrances, in my opinion. This serum really does what it says it will, and although it isn't an instant fix, you will see a big improvement in just a few weeks!

                  I don't use it daily, since I have other night products I like, too. But I found it effective and wake up, not only lighter, but also smoother and tighter, probably due to the combination affects of the lightening acids. Great product. Use sparingly if you're extremely sensitive, but my experience is that it's fantastic for the price!
