L’Oréal Paris Bright Reveal 12% [Niacinamide + Amino Sulfonic + Ferulic] Dark Spot Serum 1oz + Moisturizer Sample

This product shipped and arrived as expected (2 days). I absolutely love the L'Oreal Paris Bright Reveal 12% Niacinamide. The 12% Niacinamide is higher than you will find in some very expensive brands. I used the Bright Reveal for several months and then tried another top brand that went on sale at my local beauty supply. Within two weeks, I noticed my dark spots becoming more noticeable, and by the end of the month, I was back with the tried and true L'Oreal. There is no smell to the product; it feels nice going on, dries very quickly, and is an incredible value. I am sold on this product and will not be following the next bargain.

There’s a little tingle, but I haven’t had any redness or irritation. I do feel like my skin is brighter and smoother. It’s easy to apply, but with the dropper I feel like I’m leaving a significant amount behind. Overall, I feel like L’Oréal is one of the better OTC skincare options and a good deal for the money.

Love this product! Only small issue is it makes a slight noise sometimes. Other than that, it's exactly what I wanted. Update if anything changes.

I love these products. Quality is good, it is not sticky or watery. Goes on smooth. So far it works on the discoloration on my sunspot on my face. My face is soft. I have oily skin it works great. Go price for a bigger bottle. Usually I can only get the small one from the box store.

the good & the bad Good: I have very sensitive skin, no reaction. Using it twice a day I started seeing results within a week on my light skin the dark spots were not as noticeable. The bad: It has added fragrance, I wish it was fragrance free, but it is a light pleasant scent and didnt cause any reactions. When I first started using it I tried to just dab it on the dark spots since i already have light skin that I didnt want to lighten, only the dark spots please! but then I started to get “ghosting” lightened circles around the edges, so be sure to feather it outward and after its absorbed for a minute, I use another drop ‘all over’ so it blends well. I stopped using it for several days and noticed that the dark spots were coming right back so this is something you would have to continue to use, but it does work. I do think it is overpriced for its level of quality, but a good value considering the cost of better ones. In my opinion (although more expensive) “Curology Dark Spot Serum” works much better and faster - I saw a difference even after just 24 hours, its fragrance free, and has more effective ingredients compared to this one. My routine: gentle cleanser, micellar water, this spot remover - I put a dot on each dark spot and lightly pat for a minute then spread all over face, chest, back of the hands. I let it absorb for at least a few minutes before applying moisturizer. I historically havent worn foundations because they always settle into my fine lines, (only use Laura Gellar’s baked foundation, which is awesome for mature skin - it does NOT settle into lines! But I don’t want my light skin to look even lighter, so I started using a bronze tinted moisturizing primer first and it gives me just enough glow without looking fake -just a tip if you too are worried about all over lightening of skin vs just the dark spots) Once I am satisfied with the level of fading on my dark spots I go down to once a day to prevent my already light skin from all over face lightening too much - adjust up or down as needed.
