I'm a black woman of color with combination skin, scarring on my cheeks and chin from hormonal acne, and slightly clogged pores. I've been using this serum for a little while and saw slight fading within the first 2 weeks. Typically, it takes 6-8 weeks for hyperpigmentation to fade. But this serum is packed with AHAs and BHAs as well as hydroquinone, which is the most effective hyperpigmentation treatment. It did not cause any irritation on my skin, but I have been using active ingredients for years so my skin is quite used to the combination of AHAs and BHAs. It has not broken me out at all, my skin has been glowing since I started using it. It has a very mild chemical smell, which is normal considering it does have AHAs and BHAs, but nothing that is off-putting at all. I use it twice a day and apply sunscreen in the morning because the ingredients can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. This will NOT bleach your skin at all, it will only brighten your scars. But, hydroquinone should only be used for 8 weeks at most and then you should take a break. I haven't reached 8 weeks yet, but I doubt I'll even need to use this for that long for my scars to fade. My main advice would be to hydrate and moisturize your skin properly while using this to avoid irritation, and sunscreen is a must. This is my new holy grail for my hyperpigmentation.
