BRIGHT124 Alpha Arbutin & TXA Brightening Cream

Doesn’t work

Ended up returning this item. Seemed to make my skin darker which is the exact opposite of what I was trying to achieve.

This is a Korean skin care product packed with multiple ingredients. The main ones are: Niacinamide - hydration, reducing the appearance of dark spots, minimizing enlarged pores, and soothing inflammation. Alpha Arbutin - reduce hyperpigmentation, even out skin tone, and brighten the complexion. Inhibits melanin production which can diminish the appearance of dark spots over time. Tranexamic Acid - reduce dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. The cream is light and applies easily to the skin. It absorbs quickly and I found it left no lasting residue on my skin. I've been using this product for months now. I'm over 60 and have been developing dark blotches on my face for years from too much sun. It can really become noticeable if I spend too much time outdoors without a hat or sunscreen protection. Overall I will say my wife thinks my complexion is better. But I didn't find that it made a noticeable difference in my dark spots on my face over the short couple of months. I only use the product before bed so I'm not sure if that will make a difference. To be perfectly fair, it is the middle of the summer as I write this review so my face is getting more exposure to the sun this time. And the sun is really the number one enemy when it comes to dark spots. I intend to finish out using the tube. Should something start to improve when I get done with it, I will update this review. I took some before and after pictures and I just couldn't see a noticeable difference. I will say my skin feels much better using this product. The skin is definitely softer and I can certainly feel the difference from the areas where I apply the product. My skin had no bad reactions to this.

This is a very nice brightening skin cream. It's gentle and moisturizing and doesn't irritate or sting my skin. I use it several times a week and pair it with a barrier skin cream, as suggested on the bottle. My skin looks very clear and glassy with very few fine lines. I appreciate that it is fragrance-free and absorbs easily into my skin. I would definitely recommend this brightening Korean skin cream and would consider it an excellent value for the price.

I really wanted this to work because I have some sun spots I would like to fade. I've tried it three times now with a few weeks between each attempt, and each time had a breakout the following day. I don't generally have sensitive skin or acne prone skin, so whatever ingredient is causing the reaction isn't one I've had issues with before. Because of that I can't speak to whether it delivers on its longer term claims. What I can say is that the texture is light, it absorbs quickly, and there's no strong fragrance. It's just not compatible with my skin for reasons I can't pinpoint.
