Minimalist Dark Spots Removal Serum with 2% Alpha Arbutin for Hyperpigmentation | Suitable for All Skin Type | Face Serum for Blemishes, Acne Marks & Tanning with Hyaluronic Acid & Butylresorcinol | Fragrance-Free & Non-Comedogenic | For Women & Men | 30 ml

Let me first tell you that I am a skeptic and I was quite reluctant to try to try it out as I have a very sensitive skin and I have to think 100 times before trying out a product.But my experience with Minimalist's sunscreen was fantastic and I was still struggling with a lot of pigmentation so I gave it a shot, scared.Lo and behold, after the first use I could see the difference. Although I gave myself the benefit of doubt and considered it to be Placebo.Almost a week after trying, I can now confidently say it has worked. It has worked really well on my skin.There was a stubborn sun tan mark on my forehead for about an year and pigmentation on my nose for almost 5-7 years. Both the marks have faded about 70-80% after 10 days of regular use.I don't follow a routine, I simply clean my face with a face wash and apply the serum BEFORE sleeping and wash it off in the morning so I leave it there for a good 6-8 hours everyday.If you are wondering whether you should try it or not, purchase the smaller one (10 ml) which is what I did and then if it works, go ahead with the bigger bottle.Try it out yourself, I don't usually write reviews but this was worth my time and money so leaving it here for your reference.If it feels like I was paid to write this review, skip this one and read others because no way in hell I can prove that I was not.All the best, happy skin care! ❤️

Good tonner for acne skin,taking time to work but working fine.

I used Minimalist Alpha Arbutin 2% from July 2022 to March 2023 to treat sun damage–induced hyperpigmentation, and it really helped even out my skin tone without causing irritation. At the time, my skin barrier was damaged due to maskne and over-exfoliation (I tried shaving my skin when the maskne started—I had zero knowledge on skincare at that time), and this serum was gentle enough to support healing while gradually fading dark spots. The extreme hyperpigmentation around the cracks of my nose—where it once felt like my skin had been fried—has completely disappeared. I paired it with Paula’s Choice Salicylic Acid exfoliating toner occasionally, used a thick moisturiser for my dry skin, and applied sunscreen regularly, which I learned the hard way is non-negotiable—not just for healing but for overall skin health. As a forgetful person, I’m not very consistent with skincare even now, so ignore the visible pores and a few marks—I’m genuinely happy with the results. I hope this review helps someone out there heal their skin too.

I used it sincerely for a year but with no results at all. Neither does it lighten the pigmentation nor does it brighten the skin. I can't comment much on acne scars though.

It is the best product .The vitamin D syrum is really nice. Very good packaging. I recommend to buy it.

Waste of money, it won't remove the black marks and pigmentation. Daily usage of twice and thrice but results is zero.Thank you

It is a good product. I have been using it for nearly a month. The dark spots on my face seem to have faded a bit and I think it will fade completely after some months of regular use. Dark spots do not disappear instantly. One has to be patient about such things. Minimalist is a very good brand. I use their toner too.

This is the first skincare product I’ve ever used, and I’m really impressed. I had dark spots on my cheeks that had been there for over a year. After using the Minimalist 2% Alpha Arbutin serum every night for 70 days, most of those spots have faded, with just a few remaining. I noticed visible improvement within the first month.I apply just 3 drops every night, and I still have half the bottle left—so it’s definitely cost-effective and long-lasting. The packaging is also good, and the serum suited my skin well without causing irritation or any major breakouts. I love this serum very much.
