Need help getting rid of those pesky dark spots? There are plenty of products that claim to erase dark spots and help brighten the skin, but most fall short because they’re not formulated with the right ingredients. But, that was before Peter Thomas Roth launched its new Potent-C™ Targeted Spot Brightener. This new product is powered by vitamin C, vitamin E, ferulic acid, and advanced skin brightening actives, making it an excellent solution for dark spots, dullness, and uneven texture and tone.

“Potent-C™ Targeted Spot Brightener unleashes the strength of powerful antioxidants and THD ascorbate, an ultra-stable scientific breakthrough ingredient 50 times more powerful than traditional vitamin C. Packed with a concentration of 10 percent vitamin C, this potent spot brightener is amplified by three percent vitamin E, and two percent ferulic acid, providing powerful antioxidant benefits. Gwennis (an active algae extract) and angelys help reduce and brighten the look of dark spots by up to 75 percent, while aloe and allantoin help soothe the appearance of skin,” according to the brand.

Not convinced? The product was just released and it’s already being met with over 100 positive reviews on Sephora.com. Here’s what people are saying about it:

“At first I was skeptical to try this spot treatment because I’ve tried so many before but after trying it for such a short period of time and it’s only been four days, I can see fading, it faded the spots that have been on my skin for months.” – nadiadevi

“This product is great! I have a hard time getting the aftermath of a breakout to fade away and this is helping. I don’t love the consistency and I did feel a bit of tingling during the first application so sensitive skin be weary, but other than that, I’m loving it!” – alwaysbreane

“I have been struggling with acne scars for the longest time and I have tried countless of dark spot treatments, vitamin C serum etc but only using this product for two weeks I have been seeing huge improvements. The consistency of this product is not thick or sticky at all so it goes on the skin smoothly and absorbs right away.” – kdfosho

The Potent-C™ Targeted Spot Brightener is just one of many new launches from Peter Thomas Roth’s new Potent-C™ Collection. Keep scrolling to see the rest of the collection as well as some other bestsellers that will also help erase your dark spots:
