Pigment Gel® HQ Free

Three weeks in and the dark spots on my cheeks are finally starting to fade; the hydroquinone-free formula doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. I just dab it on the spots morning and night, and it absorbs fast enough that I can put moisturizer on right after.

The texture is surprisingly light for a spot treatment—it sinks in fast and doesn't pill under my moisturizer. I've been dabbing it on my sunspots every night for two weeks and the edges are already starting to blur out. Feels gentler than the hydroquinone stuff I used before, which is a relief.

Three weeks in and the stubborn patch on my cheek has faded enough that I only need concealer for the edges, not the whole spot. The gel texture sinks in fast without any greasy residue, and I appreciate that it's hydroquinone-free since my skin reacts badly to that ingredient.
