It's been 2 weeks. My brown spots are gone, and while I still have freckles, they are all pale and even.

I can see see the triangle over my left eyebrow, it needs another treatment, but the dime sized spot on my cheek is almost gone and it was so dark before. I don't need make up on either.

The rest of the dark spots are just gone. I look younger and prettier.

I've also been using a retinol product. I see a big difference from that too. I'm going to have IPL on the dark circles under my eyes. The retinol took care of my fine wrinkles and slight pouches under my eyes. Without the dark circles, I'll have the eyes of a 20 year old again.

I'm very pleased.

Another update about 10 months later. The brown triangle never went away and the dime spot came back fairly soon. I tried it under the eyes for dark circles and it didn't help, the Replenix eventually made my eyes itch and peel and stopped working after about a month.

I went somewhere else and got a skin bleach at 7% hydroquinone and it did wonders. The spots are all gone including the triangle and dime spot and all the lighter miscellaneous freckles. I'm very pleased. I've been doing this about 3 months and it's cheaper (about $70 for the bottle and still have over half left) and less painful and can be done at home. Doesn't help with the under eye discoloration though.

Wow, thanks for posting! I'm so happy for you. Is the hydroquinone gel, cream, or liquid and what brand is it? Are the spots gone forever or do you have to use the hydroquinone forever? Thanks!

On the 5th day, yesterday, the dark brown film for the most part peeled off. I'd been told it would scab, but it never really did, the 'scab' was very thin and slightly rough, more of a film than a scab. Except for the first day, I could cover the spots up with makeup and look fine.

The dark spots on my cheek bones vanished. The one that was the size of a dime on my lower cheek was lighter and pinkish. I'd been warned about the pink. Hopefully it will fade. Today it looks very light brown, but still there. The one over my eyebrow is still there just a bit lighter. I have a feeling these two areas are going to have to be zapped again and that will take care of the problem.

One more thing: without the dark spots on my face, my eyes look bluer and my lips pinker.

I've also been using Replenix for Eyes for my undereye circles for the last two weeks. I think it has reduced my under eye circles by about 50%.

I was going to have IPL on my under eye area over Christmas break, but if the Replenix keeps working, I don't think I will. It hasn't done a lot for the fine crows feet, but it's tightened and lightened the under eye area.

Hi CJBRH,

Thanks for the very detailed review, it will for sure be useful to the IPL community. Yes please do keep us updated, and do you have pictures?
