I have followed the instructions carefully and have been using this product for 2 months now.
It is a good moisturiser and it does lighten freckles on the face. It also reduces reddish areas leaving the skin tone looking more even. I used this during summer months when I am more prone to freckles and my face can look quite flecky. I was surprised that after using this cream it reduced this flecky appearance. It does not get rid of freckles or red patches entirely but it does lighten and improve it.
The down point is, after 2 months of use it has not reduced any red blemishes (broken capillaries) at all.
I am allergic to many things but I am not allergic to this. I do think it's on the expensive side.
