Dermatologica are a company I like on the whole. However, this product just did not work for me. I applied a thin layer in the evening before sleeping over a week and can honestly say that the results on my face were not visible to the naked eye!!! My skin felt lighter, but the spots were still there and still as red unfortunately. Perhaps one needs to try for longer than a week???!!! I'm too impatient to wait, even with expensive products.

However, I did apply the gel to some small imperfections on my neck, and they did subside.

I think this gel works for those with bad skin, not acne or anything that serious, but for those with normal, teenage spots. It's not a product for anything more developed in my opinion.
