Does this product contain hydroquinone? I have purchased it in the past and on the front of the box it stated 2% hydroquinone.

No , this one doesn't come with hydroquinone. The one you're looking for is the differin 2% hydroquinone skin lightener.

Can this be used with the adapalene gel? If so, what’s the order of application?

Our new & improved formula with Niacinamide is safe to use alongside Differin Gel. Since the active ingredient in Differin Dark Spot Correcting Serum is a powerful concentration, we recommend avoiding combining it with Differin Gel if you’re just starting out. As your skin gets used to the adapalene in Differin Gel and the retinization phase is over, try alternating your serum and Differin Gel between AM/PM routines. When using the Differin Dark Spot Correcting Serum, we recommend applying products in order of thickness and using Differin Dark Spot Correcting Serum no more than two times daily (or alternating AM/PM routines with Differin Gel if using the gel). Start by cleansing first, toner if you use one, then applying Differin Dark Spot Correcting Serum to affected areas, and finishing with a moisturizer and SPF, if using during your AM routine.

How Long does it take to work ?

I saw a difference in three weeks to my face. I put it only on the dark patches.

can it be user in summer?

I don't see why not but I use it at night befor bed

Good for Calming Inflammation and Lightening Dark Spots

Skin type: normal to oily (on t-zone area) I started to get pustules, and sebum plugs, and papules all over my cheek. This was abnormal as I’m used to getting one or two pimples of a week. I have a bad habit of popping and picking at my pimples which is why I have so many dark spots. Purchased this thinking it wouldn’t work that effectively. I used it for a week (x3 now) and my darks spots have gotten smaller. The red spots have decreased. My skin is definitely less mad at me. One pump is more than enough for both cheeks and nose. Lightweight but let it dry out before putting other serums on top. This is definitely worth your money if ur struggling like me.

Great product

*I use this product with the benzoyl peroxide foaming cleanser, 10%)* But, second time purchasing. I love this product, I first bought it for a few dollars when my local Rite Aid was closing, so it didn’t matter to me much if I liked it or not. It worked so well on my dark spots and brightened my skin. I used on acne scars and razor bump/ingrown hair marks and it works wonderfully on both areas. I think I’ll always buy again.

Fades age spots on hands

I use this everyday and it really helps age spots lighten or disappear. But, you have to use it everyday. I have my backup bottle when my current one runs out.

Differin spot correcting face serum

It works well especially when used with other differin products. It smells okay and is not sticky

Worth it

It's expensive but 1 ounce of this stuff lasts me at least 4-5 months with daily use, because you need so little of the product to cover your face. I was worried about all the reviews saying it smells bad, but mine does not (I've bought 2 bottles so far).
