it's made my skin brighter but doesn't seem to have made any miracles. My skin is still soft, but I don't know if that's due to the influence of other products as well. Sort of disappointed since it seemed to work really well for a lot of other people but I guess it's just my skin type (really dry lol). It also stung a lot of the dry parts of my face, but it's not made my skin breakout or anything terrible. It's just eh.
