This is one of Lupita Nyong'os favorite skincare items. I like Lupita's fresh, clean, radiant skin.


Whats the verdict on this? Is it worth it?


I'm a male and dark skinned and I'm contemplating purchasing this.

I got a sample, it seemed fine, but I found the Boots brightening products to be effective and they are way cheaper. I used this for 3 years - and my skin looked pretty good.

Don't forget your sunscreen - that helps you stay even.

I found my skin also made the next level of improvements when I started oil cleansing and doing weekly brightening masks and/or peels.

These two are both effective, but I like the peel a little better.

I switched to a new serum because they discontinued the Boots with new packaging. I was crushed as it was gone for a few months. Now I am using - It's the Buff.

It has been working well over the past 2 or 3 months. And fits in nicely since I am using a lightweight sunscreen and my skin is dry. As I meantioned, the oil cleansing (and my new 7 step routine really improved my skin) but try a serum, sun screen and maybe a peel first for a few weeks. My skin looked good with just that.
