I’ve been suffering from pigmentation for about 3 yrs now. I’m a tanned complexion mid 40’s. I’ve tried medical retinol 1% and 1.5%. I’ve used top brands including Zo skincare. They all had severe drying effects, peeling which never seemed to go away or stop. They say you need to go through this stage for skin to get better., this stage for me was months, it never went away. So I stopped the medicated retinol. I was also using a separate high end topical vit c. None of the above worked. I’ve been using menscience pigment cream for about 2 mths now, I use a.m & mostly P.m with a good spf50 and cleanse with menscience face wash and tone with ursa 4 in 1 toner. I starting noticing a difference a few wks after using above products. Oh forgot to mention even though this product has 1% retinol I’ve had zero peeling or any type of dryness. Bonus..product has Vit C and many other effective ingredients in it so it’s a “combo deal type” of product. Highly reco
