Disclaimer: I know the lighting is different but....
So, I've been documenting my skin care journey since July-ish and had one of those lighted mirrors you can get from TJMaxx for like 12 bucks...accidentally kicked it over and haven't had the heart to buy another one (had it for 2+ years and never used it until now).
I took the before photos with said mirror, and my after photos with regular bathroom lighting. I'm not a photographer but different lighting can make photos look different.
That being said....My after photos look fucking amazing and I'm so happy I found this product. My post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation got sooo so bad after a year of neglecting my skin (skin picking due to stress) and I knew I had to make a change. Thankfully, I had been following the Doctorly channel on YT for awhile and when they released this product I decided to give it a go after being on again/off again with hydroquinone and tretinoin (I'm an all or nothing type of girl...I get so annoyed with waiting until I develop tolerance) .
Pulled the trigger, product got delivered 9/23/24, and I started using it that night. No burning, itching. or getting those small hard forehead bumps when I go from 0-100 with an active. And my dark spots started fading after about a week. I will say that sleep and working out (I KNOW...but it's important) I feel like also helped a lot (idk but whenever my face gets more bloodflow I get super dewy and more even) . I'm impressed asf but should I be? Considering how Dr. Shah (and also Dr. Maxfield!) go IN on…
