"I've been using this cream it's called Faded by Topicals. It's so cute, it really works and it feels really nice on your skin. It smells like vomit truly, but it has significantly lightened my sun spots. It has a lot of brightening ingredients in it. The kojic acid in it is a very popular brightening ingredient, but it's not even really the kojic acid that's doing the heavy lifting here, it's the tranexamic acid. There is niacinamide in here and there's a whole host of other ingredients in here that just help."

"This is called the Faded Cream from Topicals, and there's a reason that everyone's talking about this because it does fade stuff. If you basically want all of the anti-hyperpigmentation stuff they took it and they shoved it in here. I love what this product does for my face but I hate the way it smells. It smells so bad. It smells like rotting food that you left in old tupperware, like the tupperware that the rotting food soaked into with that plasticy little bit gross leftover tupperware smell. When I wear it it makes me smell wretched and therefore I feel like I can't wear it around. I really want to love it and support this because it really does what it says it does, but the smell is atrocious. Topicals did come out with a new formula of this that is unscented, so I will be purchasing that one."
