There's a reason we ask our mothers/sisters/coworkers how they liked that (insert product name here) -- it's reassuring to know a product's going to work before you try it. The experts at Equitance did all that for you. In a clinical study, 83 percent of women using Equitance Brightening Serum & Spot Corrector saw their dark spots lighten in just four months. And dermatologists evaluated images showing dramatically improved skin tone after just six months of clinical testing.

"I've been dealing with acne scars and I wanted to try something that would lighten those spots. I do notice lightening on some dark spots around areas where I broke out before. I definitely will repurchase [this] once I finish this tube!" --selenehart

"I think I'm seeing some of my spots begin to lighten, without all the redness and flaking I get when I use retinol. I'm pretty fair-skinned and didn't really get into sunscreen until I was 26, so damage was done. This seems to gradually be lightening my dark spots." --losangelesemary
