This is my review after using the PCA skin pigment gel for a week. First, I had a hard time looking for the reviews for this product in MakeupAlley, because of the name. On the bottle it says...

I have been using this product for a month now. With most HQ products, results are not seen until after six weeks, but I noticed results with this product during week two. I have always wanted...

I love this product! I've searched for something that had HQ because it's being taken out of other products I've bought before. This also has all of the acids that are recommended to get rid of...

After reading all of the good reviews here, I had hope that the product would help fade three sunspots that I developed on my face after running outside for about a year. I have never had trouble...

My microderm person recommended this for me for hyperpigmentation on my upper lip. It's only been 10 days but already I am seeing results! It definitely dries my skin out a little and can turn a...

Has a slightly off scent but it works well on my oily skin. It felt better on my skin than the PTR HQ version which felt thick and sticky. This can be used under sunscreen during the day time and...

I've been using this product for about two months to fade excess pigment caused by acne. It really works! Apply it carefully, though. I use a Q-tip to ensure that I only get it on my spots and...

Again, there is no miracle cure; not even lasers or Pro Microabrasion can fix all. I have had professional treatments with worse results, steaming from my sensitive skin. Previously I liked...

I haven't found a miracle product yet for brown spots, but I had to give this a five because it at least did something. I've bought more expensive things (like Obaji) that didn't made any...
