Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum

With consistent use the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum faded their acne spots and evened their skin tone without breakouts. They started with spot use only before moving to every other day on the whole face.

“I have been using it consistently and not only did it fade my acne spots but helped make my skin a bit even toned.”

Switched from the BOJ Glow Serum to the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum. It layers nicely, but they aren't noticing much change and may switch back.

“I switched from BOJ to Axis Y, the Axis Y serum has a nice feeling with layering but not really noticing much change.”

Five months and three tubes of the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum had no effect on their dark spots, though the texture is nice and it absorbs quickly. They've moved on to a dermatologist for melasma treatment.

“I have been using the Axis-Y glow serum for 5 months (this is my third tube) and it has had no effect on my skin.”

Reacted right away after one use and says it is not safe for sensitive skin.

“Right away after one time use. I don’t think it is safe for sensitive skin. I’ve used this before and have similar reaction to yours”

On sensitive skin it itched a bit the first time but was fine afterwards.

“recently started the AXIS Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum and when I applied it for the first time my face was a bit itchy”

Sensitive skin: no breakouts in the first week, but from week two of the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum they got small pimples, including on their jawline where they never break out.

“now after using axis y I have started getting small pimples in my jawline area which I never get”

After a month of every-other-day use, the dark spots around their eyes and mouth are greatly reduced. Slightly sensitive, not acne-prone skin.

“My dark spots around my eyes and mouth are greatly reduced and it’s only been a month.”

Repurchased and finishing their second; their skin loves it and feels less irritated.

“Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum (currently finishing my second one, my skin loves this)”

Uses it occasionally but finds it lacks the immediate glow of Dew Drops.

“Ooo I use this one occasionally but I don’t find it leaves the same immediate glow effect that dew drops does.”

Considers it a better formula than Glow Recipe's Dew Drops.

“AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum is a better formula in my opinion.”

Doesn't lighten freckles but works better for acne redness and scarring than true dark spots.

“I am about 2/3rds of the way thru a bottle and in my experience it doesn't help lighten my freckles it definitely works better for acne redness and scarring than true dark spots.”

On combination acne-prone skin, used twice daily, the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum faded their dark spots really well, gave an overall glow and stopped acne leaving marks. Highly recommended.

“This serum helped fade my dark spots really well and definitely gives an overall glow.”

Helped their hyperpigmentation gradually over a few months, works best on fresh acne marks, and was not irritating.

“Yes it helped my hyperpigmentation! I used it basically every day in the morning and I saw gradual changes after a few months.”

After four months on their dark spots there was no significant change; it only cleared very old, already faint marks from a year earlier.

“but 4 months later there wasn't a significant change in the spots.”

Loves it after a few days and feels their skin starting to brighten.

“Just bought it a few days ago and love it! Already feel like my skin is starting to brighten up.”

On sensitive skin it seems to have broken them out; skin calmed when they stopped it.

“I have sensitive skin and the axis y serum broke me out I think??”

Broke them out at first but after easing in it now loves it daily.

“The serum broke me out at first but after using it only a few times per week and now every day my skin loves it.”

Has the same serum and thinks it gives them similar little bumps.

“Could this be sensitivity to the 5% niacinimide (spelling)? I have the same product and I think it gives me similar little bumps”

Gave them cysts and did absolutely nothing for their skin or dark spots.

“The axis-y gave me cysts but it wasn’t due to purging. And it did absolutely nothing for my skin or dark spots.”

Pretty sure it broke them out where they used it on PIH.

“Just my experience but I’m pretty sure the Axis-Y Dark Spot Serum broke me out! I used it a few times and then only on my PIH, and I pretty much broke out where I used it.”

On oily, breakout-prone skin the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum was very helpful for fading their dark spots, with a noticeable change after the first night.

“I have pretty oily skin that's prone to breakouts and this serum was so helpful in helping my dark spots fade!”

Applied the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum over their whole face to fade marks after forehead acne cleared, and it broke them out again.

“it broke me out :( i only had acne on my forehead”

Didn't break them out but did little to fade dark spots. It works as a nice hydrating serum that leaves skin soft and plump, just not for its intended purpose.

“Fortunately didn’t break me out but didn’t do much to fade or lighten my dark spots”

Finished a whole tube of the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum on their many dark spots and it did nothing.

“Got it for my dark spots, i have many. I finished the tube.. it did nothing for me.”

Really liked it: not sure about older dark spots, but it helped existing acne heal much faster and was especially good at fading new PIH and reducing redness.

“I really liked it. I’m not sure if it faded any of my older dark spots”

On oily, acne-prone skin the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum didn't break them out and brightened their skin, but did nothing for dark spots.

“It didn’t break me out but it didn’t do anything at the same time.”

On sensitive combo-dry skin, their PIH dark spots faded faster with daily morning and night use. It dries quickly and has a light herby scent that fades fast.

“I guess my skin likes niacinamide and squalane because I noticed that my dark spots from PIH seem to fade faster”

The niacinamide just isn't compatible with their face, so they use the serum on their bikini line for dark spots.

“niacinamide just really isn’t compatible with my face so I use it on my bikini line instead”

Combo/oily skin, nearly through a second tube: they love the gel texture but see little brightening of dark spots, so they use it mainly to soothe irritation from actives before moisturizer.

“I have combo/oily skin and I love how this feels on my skin - the gel texture is wonderful.”

After three tubes the difference in their dark spots was negligible.

“I used to use the Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum, but after going through three tubes, the difference in my dark spots is negligible.”

Likes it and it gave a nice glow but no big change in specific dark spots after about six months.

“I like the serum a lot, it gave my complexion a nice glow...but didn't notice a big difference with specific dark spots after about 6 months.”

The AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum irritated their skin with itchy little bumps across the face and slight breakouts, and over months of use it didn't help their dark spots.

“I found that after using this my skin would get irritated, I would get really itchy little bumps spread across my face”

Used alongside other PIH/PIE products, so they can't credit it for fading marks, but the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum clearly smoothed and evened their textured skin and brightened it a bit.

“But if there's one thing I think it actually helped with is my textured skin”

They like it: it brightens their skin, but they say you need more than one bottle to see results on dark spots, and the squalane can make it a bit oily.

“i really like it! it makes my skin brighter but you have to use more than 1 bottle to see some results”

The AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum broke them out, and a second try a few weeks later had the same result.

“It broke me out as well. I even tried it for the 2nd time after a few weeks, yet same result”

They think the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum is breaking them out and wonder if it's too strong for them, while the BOJ Glow Serum (2% niacinamide) works amazingly.

“I bought it recently and I think it’s breaking me out too.”

Their best product so far for fading red spots and evening skin tone. Light and quick to absorb; used twice daily, they saw improvement within a week and a half and it keeps improving.

“Best product I have used so far to fade my red spots and brighten and even my skin tone.”

The AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum doesn't fade their existing hyperpigmentation, but it does a really good job of stopping dark marks from forming after they pick at pimples.

“I would say it doesn't do anything to existing hyper pigmentation”

Broke them out pretty badly; reapplying it as a check gave painful cystic bumps on the chin and cheek.

“I stopped using it because I wasn’t sure what was causing it and once I applied it again just to check and I got pretty bad cystic bumps on my chin and cheek”

After a month of using the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum morning and evening, they haven't noticed much change and plan to try the BOJ Glow Serum next.

“I've been using Axis-Y for about a month now every day in my day and evening routine and I haven't noticed much.”

The AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum did nothing for their skin, and they think it made their skin oilier.

“Axis y did nothing to my skin and i think my skin becomes more oily after use it”

Made their skin look nice but did not hydrate and irritated it every time after about two days.

“For me this serum did make my skin look nice, but didn’t really hydrate, and every time after about two days it would also irritate my skin”

Bought the AXIS-Y Dark Spot serum for dark spots. After about two weeks their hyperpigmentation is visibly fading, it's quite hydrating, and it's cheap.

“My hyperpigmentation is actually fading! Not only that but it is also pretty hydrating.”

Breaks them out with painful cysts since their skin hates niacinamide.

“I've tried the Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Serum but it breaks me out with painful cysts”

A month in and on their second tube, they love it. It cleared a major breakout in under a week, and on their oily skin it replaces their moisturizer.

“I started using this a month ago & I'm loving it, already on my second tube!”

After almost a month on sensitive, dry skin: smoother texture, much less redness, brighter, more glowing and hydrated skin. Very light herbal scent that fades immediately, slightly viscous texture that absorbs easily, handy pump tube.

“I've been using this serum for almost a month now and can really see a difference.”

Suspects it caused breakouts on very oily acne-prone skin and it sits on the face without sinking in.

“Sadly I’m suspecting the Axis-y serum is the culprit of my recent breakouts :/ Also it somehow just sits on my face but does not really sink in.”

Erased their dark spots and acne scars about halfway through the bottle; would repurchase for a dark spot treatment.

“It is one of the most effective serums I've ever used because it really did erase my dark spots and acne scars about halfway through the bottle”

Holy grail for them though they dislike the pump tube.

“this is my HG too although I don't like the pump tube.”

Fades acne dark spots faster than anything else and sinks in fast, but offers no hydration and may be adding irritation after a couple of months.

“It fades dark spots left by my acne really fast, faster than any other product I've tried. It doesn't really have any hydration to offer and it sinks into my skin really fast.”
