3 remarks :
1-when applied close to eyelids, I noticed systematic eyelid muscle twitch later in the day
2-after initial applications or if you take a weekend break from application then start again, people have asked whether I have used self tanner, which tend to indicate the product has an effect on pigmentation. This is quite confusing.
3- this serum is not compatible with some Paula serums as I saw flaking from other products containing silicone. Be careful when applying makeup containing silicones on top of this product.
If you are curious about trying Arbutin, this is a must buy.
