- How long until dark spots fade?
- Expect several weeks of daily use before tone looks more even. PHA and niacinamide work gradually, and fading post-acne marks takes longer than softening texture.
- Can sensitive skin use it?
- PHA is gentler than glycolic or lactic acid, so many sensitive users tolerate it. Patch test first and start every other day if your skin reacts easily.
- Does it replace an exfoliant?
- It offers mild PHA exfoliation, but it is not a strong peel. If you need deeper exfoliation for clogged pores, keep a separate AHA or BHA step.
- Can I use it with vitamin C?
- Yes, they can be layered, though both can irritate sensitive skin. Alternate mornings or use one at night if you notice stinging.
- Is it for morning or night?
- It is designed as a day serum. Apply before moisturizer and sunscreen; sunscreen matters most when treating dark spots.
- Will it help active acne?
- It may calm post-acne marks and oiliness, but it is not an acne treatment. Persistent breakouts need benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or a dermatologist.
- Where is the Lancôme Pro-Solution Brightening & Dark Spot Reducing Serum cheapest?
