It makes my skin super soft and has done a great job fading my spots. At week 20, I\u2019m in the plateau period\u2026.the majority of my spots are gone (yeah!!!), and there are still a few spots that persist on my cheeks and chin. I\u2019m not quite ready to face the world bare-faced, without concealer or foundation. The difference is that I use sheerer formulas of foundation and much less concealer and foundation than at the beginning of the field test.<\/p>\n<p>As this field test comes to a close, I\u2019m continuing on\u2026patiently and persistently\u2026looking for more over the counter products without hydroquinone that fade these spots.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rUhSk7Fm6A\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Thank you for following along with the test.
