5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for hyperpigmentation, May 27, 2008

This product was my introduction to the Skinceuticals line. I was given a small sample of Phyto+ to try for sunspots. I saw results within 2 weeks. Since then, over the last 8 months, my spots have continued to lighten and two have almost disappeared!
The serum goes on smoothly and can be used all over the face by itself, or with CE Ferulic, as is frequently recommended. One caution - if you accidentally use too much,and are very fair, you might see a slight greenish tint on your face.
I personally had better results without CE Ferulic (which for some reason didn't work for me). I now use Phyto+ mostly for individual spot treatments. I'll also use it all over my face as a base under my SPF30 moisturizer if I'm going to be outdoors for the day.
Finally, for those looking for a product that does not contain hydroquinone -- try this.

I was skeptical that a non-prescription skin product could help with my hyperpigmentation and sun spots, but this product made me a believer. It really works!

This review is from: Skinceuticals Phyto + Botanical Gel For Hyperpigmentation, 1-Ounce Bottle (Health and Beauty)

My favorite facial guy(who I can sadly no longer afford)recommended this to me about 7yrs ago after a facial one day for the acne I couldn't help but pick at. My scarring is not severe but I have very light skin & I swear thinking about picking my face used to cause a scar. I use this product once in the morning, before any other topicals & allow it to dry which takes a minute or so, then proceed with putting on the rest of my face. I still use this product 2-3 times a week because I stopped using it a couple years ago and while the old scars did not return I began to notice uneven pigmentation on my nose & cheeks which were minimized once I began using it again a couple times a week. Long story short it's perfect for acne scarring and as I'm finding out now great for the uneven pigment that comes as a result of aging & sun exposure.
