It's multipurpose! Lightening underarms (reduces odor too!), knees and elbows, two-toned lips, and dark spots!

Good pair with the glycolic acid to reduce the production of dark spots on the skin. Can also use on the underarms.

This is also a splurge product for me, however, it's the only thing that works for me to target dark spots around my face. It's not going to be instant like how influencers try to sell you with other products, but I've seen great results within 3 wks...

For medium skin tone, this looks peachy on the lips, which gives off a soft muted "color corrected" look for two-toned lips like me.

Very fine and detailed, however, it may leak out like from my experience. Overall, a good product to draw fine realistic brow lines and that stays all day.
