Acne marks noticeably lighter
The first two weeks were peely and a bit red, which they warned about. Around week six my old acne marks started fading. Wearing sunscreen every day is non-negotiable with this.

What is hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is when patches of skin become darker than the surrounding skin, often after acne, sun exposure or inflammation. Prescription combinations that slow pigment production and speed skin turnover are a common approach. Vuret offers a Hyperpigmentation Cream; melasma has its own formula.
Common signs
- Dark spots
- Post-acne marks
- Uneven tone
- Sun spots
When to see a doctor in person
Any spot that changes shape, color or size, bleeds, or looks different from your other spots should be checked in person.

Working, but go slow
I started every night and got a little irritation. Provider told me to go every other night for a while. Spots on my cheeks are lighter now.
More even tone across forehead
Had sun spots on my forehead that bugged me for years. By month three they had faded substantially. Simple online process, plain box, no insurance hassle.
Minor flaking at first, noticeable lightening by week 6
Had some light flaking around my nose and mouth in week two, but using a gentle barrier cream solved it. Several dark spots on my cheeks are already noticeably lighter.
