Ok if you're super anal about your skin listen up. Firstly im half black and half white and my skin is pretty oily. I hyper-pigment because i pick at any imperfection i have. i had this brown spot on my left cheek right under my eye that drove me crazy. My esthetician used this on me once a month to clear up my brown spots and over the course of a year it totally fixed my skin. Then i got ambitious. I ordered some for myself to get rid of the brown spot on my cheek.
