"This has everything you need to fade acne marks, scarring and hyperpigmentation. You've got the kojic acid, you've got the azelaic acid, and a blend of other brightening ingredients. This one is great, particularly if you have acne prone or blemish prone skin that's leading to a lot of hyperpigmentation. This is an absolute must."

THE BEST SKINCARE OF 2026 (So Far) - My Most Repurchased Skincare Heros
"My personal favorite is this, the Allies of Skin azelaic and kojic advanced clarifying serum. This works quicker than any other hyperpigmentation serum I have ever put on my skin. Within two weeks your hyperpigmentation is fading, those dark spots are lifting, and you just have a more even skin tone. It also has some acne fighting benefits in there too, so if your hyperpigmentation is acne derived, like mine, this is an absolute must have, but even if you don't have breakouts and acne this will still help with sun-induced or hormonal hyperpigmentation. Kojic acid is one of the best pigment correctors out there, and the fact that they've used azelaic acid alongside it just doubles down on the benefits. This is one of the best, if not the best, hyperpigmentation serums I have ever used, and if your budget will stretch to Allies of Skin I think this is an absolute no-brainer to slot into your skincare routine."

"The kojic acid is really going to brighten especially those post acne marks. And then azelaic acid is good for the redness and really helps to calm the skin barrier. [...] This is actually one of my go-to serums when I do have post acne marks and when I'm breaking out. It never disappoints. It really does brighten the skin in a shorter amount of time. And I really love how hydrating this is as well. In my opinion and for my experience with it, it is so gentle. I've never experienced irritation with this and it can be used every day, twice a day as well if you want. But if you just wanted to use this once a day, that is completely fine as well. [...] This one is great if you have post acne marks, dullness, as well as redness."
