Review: Skinfood Tomato Whitening Spot Serum

Mood: 

Skinfood Tomato Whitening Spot Serum 30g 

Description: This spot serum is packed with fresh tomato extracts which contains a variety of natural organic acids, vitamins and minerals to clear and clarify dark skins.
Direction for use: Gently apply to dark spots and skin discolorations after using toner.


Since the direction printed at the back of the tube says apply this 'after using toner', I assume it's only for facial use...(?) But who cares, I used it on my arm too. Lol. Actually, I bought this for my post acne hyperpigmentation...but after I bought the AC Clinic Red Spot Balm, I stopped applying this on my face. FYI, this does not cause any breakout on me. I replaced it with Red Spot Balm because I am using other AC Clinic products and I want to stick to the same skincare line.

If you read my blog consistently(and I thank you for being interested in my 'craps'), you probably know that I had a gross infection[link] on my left arm in last November which leaves patches of f.ugly pigmentation scars on my arm after healing. :(

(Before) Taken back in 3rd week of December 2011.

So after my infection was completely healed, I apply the Skinfood Tomato Serum to the scars. Hoping that it would helps speed up the lightening process... Having marks on arm aren't cool okay especially when I'm wearing sleeveless or short sleeve outfit! :(

I have been applying this every single night before bed. I don't apply this in the morning due to laziness. In addition, I believe our skin heals better at night while our body is at rest. Do take note that this serum takes months to notice a major improvement. You can actually see a little improvement after about 2 weeks to a month of application.

So, it has been about 3½ months I applied this serum and currently, I am still using this serum every night without fail. And yes!, my effort on applying this every night and waiting for miracle(to see result) has paid off.

The same scars that were left from previous infection have lightened a lot!

(AFTER)

(FYI, I only used Photoshop to resize the photo and create that "watermark"(laughs). No further editing of picture. The only difference is the time taken which affects the lighting. Previous picture taken in the day without flash while this was taken last night without flash too. Both pictures were taken with Iphone's camera.) In real life, the scars actually looks slightly lighter than what's shown in the picture... :/

Okay so, I believe you can spot the difference in the color of my pigmentation scars. The color of scars were dramatically reduced. As you can see, it's not completely gone though...but I believe with continue application, the scars will soon be gone forever. :)

By the way, this serum has a mild and nice fragrance(smells like a cream~) which I really like it. After applying it on the skin, it will get absorbed and leaves a really light-tacky feeling to the touch. The serum itself is in white liquid(?) form but after massaging it into the skin, it will become colorless. Apply a little works wonder~ I always apply a lot and it does not cause any side effect. Overall, yes I like it and I already got a second tube the other day. :D

The only downside is the duration it takes to see improvement but well...whatever scars, no matter whether it is exterior or interior, take time to heal.

Are you having pigmentation scars/marks on your skin? Probably you might want to try this and see if it works for you. :)
