Reviews For SkinMedica Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Treatment Serum
Bring back Lytera 2.0
I used Lyra 2.0 for years and as someone who just turned 50 years old, was often mistaken for someone in their mid 30s. Before using it, I had horrible hyperpigmentation and when I began using Lytera 2.0, the results were unbelievable. I was very sad to hear it was discontinued and replaced with Even and Correct. However, I spent the money and went in with an open mind. This product is nowhere close to the efficacy of Lytera. The only thing I changed in my skincare routine was this product. Not only did I notice I began seeing dark spots that I had not seen in years, but also an uneven skin tone. It was such a difference that friends and family began to comment on it as well. (not in a mean way, but the fact that they noticed showed me it wasn’t just me seeing the lack of efficacy). It also pills if you put an oil based product over it. I would deal with that flaw if it was effective, but it just simply isn’t. What an incredible disappointment. If you read the reviews for Even and Correct, there’s several that are rated 4 or 5 stars, but in the comment section, it states that they have yet to see if it’s effective. So, draw your own conclusion from that. I really hope that the company reads these comments and decides to bring back Lytera which was a far superior product.

Hopeful!
For three months I used a vit c serum with 4% hydroquinone, which my dermatologist prescribed me (they sell it in their office). It did lighten the areas on each side of my neck. I do not have unevenness and brown spots/areas on my face, but unfortunately never really put sunscreen on my neck as regularly as my face over many years and now have this problem to manage. The 4% definitely works but you have to come off it for a while before you can go back on it. So I purchased this SkinMedica product, which is supposed to do the job of the 4% and am hopeful that it will at least keep it at bay, if not improve it more. I love the gel consistency and how it dries down fairly quickly without any heavy feeling and I do not notice any odd smell when I use it. So time will tell if it does what it is supposed to do. I feel like these products do take some time to work. Even my 4% took a while to show results.

Melasma Support - SkinMedica Even and Correct
I experienced severe melasma around 36. Now at 44, the melasma is gone and my skin looks better than it did 10 years ago. One component of my melasma journey was a brightening serum. Keep in mind, I don't think any product or serum will give you rapid immediate results. I used this product within an overall routine including in office treatments. I continue to use it because I feel like it supports reduction in pigmentation and discoloration and layers nicely under moisturizer or retinol treatments. Other things I did include: major reduction in sun exposure, hats, SPF every day, microdermabrasion, hydrafacial, retinol, got off hormonal bc, manage stress, minimize exposure to major heat Good luck in your skin care journey!

Even and Correct
I haven't been using it long enough to see any major difference. I gave it 5 stars as I think it will start working when I start using it more frequently. It does have a sloughing effect which I like. Just purchased the pads as well. I will write more hopefully soon.

SkinMedica Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Treatment Serum
I liked this product! My facial skin is a lot cleaner and brighter. Some of my stubborn age spots I noticed have lightened up.

Love this serum!
I love this serum. I am 51 and have had freckles all my life which turned into dark blotches in my later years…this definitely helps to the point where I only use a tinted spf for coverage during the day…and I have tried a lot of different products…I love that SkinMedica Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Treatment Serum doesn’t dry out my sensitive skin.

Great for Melasma
I have been using SkinMedica's Lytera for several years and I liked it because it kept my melasma at bay. However, I prefer their new Even & Correct serum because I have noticed that my brown spots have actually lightened a bit. They are not as dark as before. I will repurchase!

Lytera 2.0 was a better product
I used and loved the Lytera 2.0 for years. This new even and correct product is not the same at all. I used it constantly just like the Lytera. when I layer anything over it, it balls up, and I have to wipe everything off, because I can’t do my makeup over it. Even if I give it time to absorb into my skin. It’s also a weird brownish color, I thought maybe I got an old/expired product, but the other products in the even and correct line are the same. I will not purchase anything from the even and correct line again.

SkinMedica Even & Correct Serum
I try to use this every morning after I wash my face. I first apply skin SkinCeuticals discoloration defense and then I apply the SkinMedica Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Treatment Serum over it. I go about my morning routine, stretching, easy yoga or pilates and smoothie. I then take two clean organic cotton rounds in water and wash off my applications of the two serums that both help with discoloration and then apply my daily facial serums and moisturizer. I sometimes use this Even & Correct serum under a mask, especially if I get too much sunlight. I am outdoors doing gardening and walking, especially in the spring and summer. My skin gets quite a bit of sunlight just doing my regular outdoor activities. This serum from SkinMedica truly helps keep my skin even and smooth. It is a must have for me since I love being outdoors.

Good product
I am not sure how much it is preventing the hyperpigmentation, but it is containing and maintaining the brightness of my skin. I will continue to use as a preventative method, although it doesn't remove the spots that I already have. It is light and absorbs well.

Dewy skin!
My skin loves this serum, it's silky and moisturizing without being sticky. I can't say about it's brightening benefits as I don't have hyperpigmentation, I only use it a my morning treatment. Works great under my foundation too!

I have just used this product twice and it broken me out. I had called for return. Apparently, they said it was past the return date. I won’t be purchasing it again. I am combination, acne prone and sensitive skin. I won’t be purchasing this product again. Also, may think twice! Disappointed!

Wonderful serum
The serum is moisturizing without being greasy I purchased this product due to the fact that it contains niacinamide, which is known to be anti-aging. I have used other skinmedica products like TNS and the post procedure duo. This product is a little less pricey. I think i will continue to use the TNS advanced serum which is my favorite and gives a definite glow to the skin

Does not work as well as Lytera 2.0
I have sensitive combo acne-prone skin and am approaching 40. I found the holy grail in SkinMedica, especially the TNS serum and Lytera 2.0. Fast forward to now: Lytera 2.0 was discontinued and replaced with this product, so I bought it, hoping for equivalent results. While this product hasn’t broken me out, it does not work as well on my hyperpigmentation and dark spots. I’ll continue using it until I run out, then back to the drawing board. Sigh
