I have been using the CC Cream for almost a week now and have noticed that my dark spots appear to have lightened dramatically. I have also noticed that my skin does not appear to be as oily during the day as it was previously and I get less breakouts. I do get a shine on my nose later in the day around lunch time but that is all, which I just use a pressed face powder for once as opposed to my normal everyday oily/shine face. I totally love this product and will be using this as part of my daily facial regime after moisturising. it is also affordable ranging from R85.00 which I think is quite a great price if you look at the benefits you get from this product. definitely five stars!!!!!
