One of my faves
This serum is honestly one of my favorites from Topicals! I first tried it because of how viral it went on social media, and I have zero regrets. The only issue I had was the scent—it wasn’t the best. But Topicals went back to the lab, did their thing, and now? No scent , which I love! It still does exactly what it’s supposed to—helps with discoloration, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots. Plus, the texture and consistency feel even better now. They really improved it, and I’m here for it!

Consistency is key!
When I first tried Faded Serum, I wasn’t a fan but it was more of a user error than anything else. Consistency is key with getting results! I started off with the travel and then moved onto the full size product. The serum didn’t irritate me at all and even calmed my ingrown hairs a bit. I have pcos and this has been life changing with my daily skincare regimen!

This serum is very strong so if you have sensitive skin or any skin issues, I’d be careful! Other than that, this serum is great for lightening up your dark spots and it has made my face look more even in color.

The only thing that works for me!
I’ve suffered from hyperpigmentation and post-acne scars for as long as I can remember. I have tried so many products claiming to fade dark spots but I never notice a difference. The Faded serum is the only product where I’ve noticed a clear different in my dark spots. I will admit you need to use the product consistently but it WORKS! I’m glad I found my holy grail.
