The Edyt Score
4.5 / 5.0
Targets
4.5/5
A good serum if dullness and old spots are the complaint. If you already use a strong acid every night, this will feel like extra glow, not a peel.
Formula standards
4.4/5
Essence-like and a little dewy. It layers under sunscreen without that tight, matte feel.
The verdict
Use it for weeks. It will not fade a mark in four days, and that is normal.
