Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening Serum Review
What the Company claims: A product that will get rid of the source of growing problems of skin darkening, uneven tone, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, dryness, roughness and dullness of the skin due to overexposure and ageing.
The new fortified complex in the Neutrogena® Fine Fairness® Brightening Serum in synergy with Neutrogena® Healthywhite Complex™- a white lily extract and Retinol, works from the inside out, simultaneously targeting all three elements of tone, texture and hydration to bring out lasting healthy fairness. The naturally derived White Lily extract enhances whitening from within. In addition, it effectively promotes lightening of dark spots via the effective action of Retinol in the epidermis. Double your skin’s whitening power for even-toned lasting healthy fairness. This breakthrough high penetrating formula penetrates beneath the skin surface and helps deactivate melanin production at the source for a renewed visibly brightened skin tone.
Directions: Use 1-2 times a day after cleansing. Lightly massage in to boost penetration. Close pump after each use. (It oxidizes if left open)

MRP: Rs. 599/- for 30ml
Its a white colored bottle with a silver top and a plastic cap. Its a pump dispensor..so quite easy to use..you need just 1 pump..or max two pumps for the entire face..but since it has retinol..many do not use it all over the face..just on dark spots or problem areas. I like using serums..some how they work better and deeper for me..than just moisturisers..
Its a light yellow colored liquid..if you have used a serum..you would know the texture..not exactly like a lotion nor like a gel..some where in between..has a sweet smell similar to all Neutrogena products..I just pat it on..and restrict it to use at night..since it has retinol..which makes the skin sensitive..if you use it at day time..make sure you use a high SPF sunscreen..
You might experience some itching for a few minutes after application coz of the retinol..do not fret..some even experienced peeling of the skin in the first week..but skin was brighter and better the next week..depends on how your skin reacts to retinol..do a test patch first if you like..
Pros:
1. Does lighten dark spots and makes the skin more even toned..but not an overnight effect..takes 2-3 weeks for the difference to show up. But if you are suffering from dark spots, you should surely give this a try.
2. Skin is more brightened when used all over..I have used it both ways..but I prefer using it on dark spots more..as I do not want to use retinol all over.
3. Non comedogenic and oil free.
4. Did not break me out..but there is some itching for a few minutes.
5. It does what it claims.
6. The quantity lasts long.
Cons:
1. Has parabens, phenoxyethanol and silicones.
2. May not suit sensitive and dry skin.
3. Skin does need added moisturisation.
Overall I did like it..and the brightening effect it gives to the skin. I did not have many dark spots..but it makes the skin more even toned..if you suffer from dark spots..this might help. But I do not recommend it for dry or sensitive skin.
