Dark Spot Solution.

"The Remedy Dark Spot Solution claims to target existing hyperpigmentation as well as prevent new discoloration, without lightening your natural skin tone. It contains 0.1% encapsulated Retinol, meaning the actual released concentration is lower over time, paired with Niacinamide at 5% to help combat retinol irritation, plus Tranexamic Acid at 3%, Mandelic Acid, Kojic Acid, Licorice Root Extract, Glutathione, Silymarine, Acetyl Glucosamine and Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate to target discoloration, along with Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Squalane, Green Tea Extract and Ceramides for hydration. The texture is like a light lotion and the scent, faint but resembling cooked carrots, I don't hate but I'm not the biggest fan either. Because of the encapsulation I was able to use it every night from the start, even on my chest, which usually can't tolerate strong retinoids. For some specific concerns a dedicated higher strength product, like a Glycolic Acid, will have more noticeable effect than this, but if you prefer simplicity this serum is a solid all in one option. With patience and diligent sun protection, I think this product has good potential to help with hyperpigmentation. Despite anecdotes of people using it alongside Tretinoin without issues, I would caution against that, since pairing retinoids increases the risk of irritation rather than maximizing results."
