Finished this one, the Allies of Skin Mandelic Pigmentation Corrector Night Serum. I need all the help with brightening that I can get. Tough melasma, dark spots, all that good stuff. This stuff's really nice, really effective, efficient. No fragrance in it.

On the high end, the mandelic acid from Allies of Skin is a very nice serum I used to use a lot and really liked. It was one of their first sort of breakthrough products, but it's quite expensive.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
