This reallly brightened my skin!! I used to use the SK-II essence, but it was breaking my wallet. I switched to this and found that it lightened the freckles and discoloration on my skin. Honestly, super impressive – I was just expecting extra hydration but this has been a surprise welcome in my skincare routine.

Not much...the product is a bit heavy because it's made of glass, but I think it's better for the environment anyway!
