About this formula:
A potent skin lightening serum formulated with tranexamic acid, licorice, bearberry, and glycolic acid. It penetrates quickly and deeply and gets to work on stubborn skin darkening. Dries clean feeling, can easily be worn under make-up or clothing. This hydroquinone-free formula produces the same results as hydroquinone, without the health risks.
What is Tranexamic Acid?
A synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine, tranexamic acid is described by the skincare wizzes at SkinCeuticals as "a powerful ingredient recognized for its ability to brighten skin complexion and improve the appearance of discoloration."
What is Bearberry Extract?
Bearberry has been shown to be quite effective at lightening skin pigment imperfections such as age spots, sun spots, Melasma, and blotchy skin tone for a more uniform, brighter complexion. Bearberry also increases the cell turnover rate and it is packed with antioxidants.
What is Licorice?
The primary way in which licorice effects skin whitening is through suppressing the overproduction of melanin by skin cells. In doing this, the herb helps prevent skin cells from producing excess melanin in the face of injury, abrasion, and scar formation which create dark spots or an uneven skin tone. Licorice also protects the skin from harmful and usually skin tone damaging UV radiation.

Great, Got rid of my hyper pigmentation and dark spots from tanning this summer.
I am hoping this will be the one that makes the difference. I use it under my Clinique make up because it feels like it moisturizes & bc I want to keep working on this scar fade thing. So far its okay (its been 2 months & a little more than half the bottle).
