Customer reviews of Vuret Hyperpigmentation Cream
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.
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.
Now on maintenance
Did the active cycle, then switched to the maintenance cream. Marks from old breakouts are mostly gone. Really appreciated being told up front that hydroquinone is used in cycles.
Mild flaking early on, but dark spots are fading
My skin is sensitive so I had some mild redness the first week. My provider suggested buffering with moisturizer and switching to every third night. Once my skin adjusted, my acne marks started clearing up visibly.
Excellent value vs in-office
Much cheaper than the chemical peels I was quoted by a clinic. Results are gradual, but after two months my sun spots are almost unnoticeable.
Who it's for
- Dark spots
- Post-acne marks
