I've been using this product for a few weeks now. Some of my darker spots have already faded quite a lot, though they are not yet 100% gone. My freckles sadly also faded, though like the darker spots they haven't completely disappeared (I had no problem with those). Overall the skintone in my face is still a mess, but it has less contrast than before. I feel like it speeded up the healing of a few blister wounds I had and those spots are nearly invisible! I haven't noticed any skin texture change (yet?). The packaging is nice, and quite sturdy even though it's glass. It survived a fall on my tiled bathroom floor without breaking! :D
