I had strong pigmentation under the eyes and upper lip. After only 2 weeks (though 3x daily. Used) provided a marked improvement. The dark spots are barely visible and yet it is for me an absolute replacement product. I have always used the product on the previously thoroughly cleaned skin ... is, cleansing milk, facial cleansing with a cleansing gel then face water. After applying Even Brighter correction pen I let these only "dry" before I used the Facial Care from another manufacturer.
