Wow. There's so much to like about this exfoliator -- everything but the price!
I have sensitive, combination, acne-prone skin. I am 39yo.

Based on the good reviews, I figured I'd give it a try. I've used it for two weeks now. In this short period of time, dark marks have faded entirely (post-acne hyperpigmentation), my skin has smoothed out so much that I stopped using my primer, and my skin feels like buttah.
I didn't experience any sensitivity issues at all with this product and used it nightly from day one.
It has a thick gel texture.

Again, I have sensitive skin. Like, really obnoxiously cranky skin that gets red and blotchy when I introduce new products at all. I was totally shocked that I experienced no sensitivity or irritation or redness or flaking -- nothing! -- when using this product.
It is so hard to find a product that exfoliates and hydrates at the same time. This product manages to do both.
I wish I could tell how much is in the bottle, but it is opaque (likely to keep the product from reacting) and you can't tell.
The price is bananas, but it is hard to argue with the results.
If you're in your 20s and have no skin issues, save your money. If you have uneven skin,or if you have acne, or if you have fine lines or wrinkles, give this a chance.

Such a dramatic difference in just 2 weeks! I’ve had $500 Melanage Peels, $1200 Halo Laser treatments, & I’ve used 4% hydroquinone & .05% tretinoin off & on for years. I stopped taking oral birth control pills (so bad for melasma!) about 4 months ago, which helped in terms of not causing continual overproduction of melanin. At that time, I also got an Enlighten Peel ($500) that significantly helped. But my melasma was so bad that I needed something even stronger than that peel as part of my daily regimen...This has same active ingredients as Triluma, except the hydroquinone is 3-6 x’s STRONGER, therefore BETTER, FASTER RESULTS!

I have been using this product for a little over a year! My skin journey has not been easy. I have used many popular brands, including a lot of scrub and cleansers yet NONE of them came close to this product! Beautiful isn’t enough to explain how I feel! I’m glowing without much effort every day.

Another important piece of info I want to mention is that this may be a black-owned company yet you are still using light bleach so do not apply daily. It helps to remove black marks. They can disappear in less than a week. And y’all my face was so messed up my own family would tell me. Mind you now, they ask what my secret is to clear my face. It’s great to know that the underdog came out on top! The solution to clear skin is this product!

The Internet likes to sell what is popular and I sought out something inexpensive that caters to African American skin. The product is gentle once used sparingly. As an alternative, Ambi soap is another solution. Just make sure you don’t pick your skin. Try your best to avoid over bleaching and only bleach the dark spots.

I had a very noticeable spot on my face I was concentrating on as I hate that sucker. It is almost totally gone. I can see that it is going to go completely away. My friend noticed it was fading and had to know how I did it. She bought it and is happy with it. It takes very very little. I used a q-tip to get it exactly where I want it to work. I could not be happier! Your skin will clear up.

I suffered from acne during high school, and about a year ago started really taking care of my skin and clearing it up. I happened to come across this product a month or so ago & was SO scared to buy it because the price is so heavy. I would spend the money on this over and over again. Let me start by saying for the first time in almost 5 years I actually LIKE stepping out with no face makeup. Truly, I don't feel the daily need for it anymore. I've used it for almost 2 weeks & there is such a difference in my skin; I wanted to cry after the first week. Nothing has helped the mild scarring & unevenness of my sensitive skin & this product is already brightening my darker spots/scars & my redness is all but gone. The BEST part: it didn't break me out or cause my dry, sensitive skin to flake. Which is crazy, because I thought for sure this would cause me to flake maybe a little. Seriously, I cannot tell you how much I love this product. If you're like me & are trying to help your skin & turn it around, PLEASE give this a chance. The cons are going to be an echo of a lot of reviews; the packaging IS bad. I wouldn't care for the glass part but what really bugs me is there would be no way of knowing if you got all of the product out, or when you need to buy more. Hopefully they will improve that a little bit. Anyway, that is small to me compared to what this exfoliator does for my face. Outstanding job on this.

Only after 2 weeks of use I can see. My spots dramatically fading

I have not used it enough to form an opinion

It took me a while to purchase this, and I read a ton of reviews before I bought it. This was my first time ever using a glycolic acid product and I was a little nervous that it would irritate my skin but surprisingly it hasn't bothered my skin. It does seem to be fading my acne scars and it also seems to be healing the few pimples here and there, I did accidentally get some too close to my lips the other night and the skin around my mouth was peely and flaky the next morning and hurt a little, but it is healing up now. I do recommend using a nice thick moisturizing oil afterwards because it seems like it could be a little harsh without it. I use marula oil and really like it. I have only been using it for about a week and a half but I have already seen improvement in my redness and dark spots. It is expensive, yes, but I am using way less foundation and concealer since I got it. I have been struggling to get my skin under control for a while now, and with the help of my clarisonic and the bioformula line it is finally starting to get where I want it to. So far so good, I can't wait to see what my skin looks like in a few months.

I’ve been using this mask for just over a year to target hyperpigmentation from melasma. I’ve been using it in combo with other products to attack my melasma, 4% hydroquinone, niacinamide, and azelaic acid. Like all the products all this list, it *needs time* to work, and you need to stick with it. Over time, as you shed the top pigmented layers of skin, newer less pigmented skin surfaces even out your overall skin tone. To work, this requires continual usage. And like all skincare, it’s worthless if you don’t protect your skin with sunscreen daily! I find this to be effective and the price is right.

Here’s my advice: understand this has mild acidic properties combined with hydro quinones to lighten dark spots so your face may peel.
I see the negative pictures here and know that they could have been prevented by common sense so here it is:

1) go light. It has acidic properties. It’s better to increase as your skin adjusts than wish you had later
2) it bleaches and it’s an acid so try and put it on after work or at night and if you can’t then apply a zinc based sunblock regularly to protect the sensitive skin
3) omg wash your hands!!!! If a hand peels it’s because it’s been applied to the hand and not washed off. Wash them in water with soap.
4) use a good lotion for extra dry skin on top after it dries. Use one for winter weather like lubriderm or gold bond etc. you don’t apply this around the eyes so you can use your typical eye cream
5) don’t apply this around your eyes!! Or lips or inside your nose etc.
6) I’m going to repeat: go light and increase slowly rather than shock your skin
7) don’t wax your skin until a week after the scheduled off time with the lotion (you’ll want to take a break so your skin doesn’t get resistant to the ingredients)
8) sunblock
