I agree with the most recent reviews. This product didn't do a thing for my spots, although it did make my skin softer. A nice toner, but not a skin lightener.

First, the package came with no directions. It did absolutely nothing for me, but I don't know if I was using it properly.

This lotion does NOTHING. I have used it according to directions for months, and it has no effect. I experiment quite a bit with skin products, and have always experienced some change. Not with this product. Save your money and buy something else (or stay out of the sun).

It did nothing for me. The brown spot on my face is still visible after using the entire bottle.

This one is very good; you'll see the effect in the first week. If you are looking for any kind of whitening or brown spot clearing product, always buy Japanese. I lived there for four years and I would say they do produce most effective UV protection creams and lotions, and the finest (they did they are pro in rice powder - no one can beat them) face powders and whitening products. I love this one!
