One expert found it genuinely helpful for suppressing dark spots and melasma with a small amount, though noted the price is steep. However, two dermatologists raised concerns: one worried the high alcohol content and tyrosinase inhibitor may dry skin and speed aging without outperforming cheaper alternatives, and another was deterred by strong fragrance that caused headaches. The open question among experts is whether using it under sunscreen in the morning limits how well the active ingredient reaches the skin, which matters since melasma really needs aggressive sun protection alongside any treatment.
