I began using this serum after Accutane treatment at Beacon Dermatology. Initially, the doctor had said I may need to have a laser treatment to remove dark spots from acne on my face. However, after being recommended to use this on my face to prep the skin, it worked so well that I did not need to get any laser treatment at all. I continue to use it and my skin is glowing everyday, without any makeup at all! I would recommend this for any women of colour with frustrating dark spots from acne.
