Does niacinamide help with acne spots?
Niacinamide is highly effective for treating acne spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. With a powerful 4% concentration, our Dark Spot Fix harnesses niacinamide's proven ability to reduce discoloration while helping regulate oil production and calm inflammation. This makes it particularly effective for both preventing new acne spots and fading existing marks.
Is Azelaic Acid an exfoliant?
Azelaic acid has gentle exfoliating properties while also targeting hyperpigmentation and discoloration. Unlike traditional exfoliants, it works more selectively, helping to unclog pores and even skin tone without causing irritation. Our Dark Spot Fix harnesses this multitasking ingredient alongside other powerful actives to effectively reduce dark spots while being gentle enough for daily use.
What is PIH?
PIH, or Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation, occurs when skin darkens after injury or inflammation from acne, scratches, or other skin trauma. This common concern appears as dark spots or patches and is especially prevalent in deeper skin tones. Our Dark Spot Fix is specifically formulated to target PIH with powerful ingredients that help restore your skin's even tone and radiance.

This product works well for me, it makes my dull brown marks below and around my mouth (from laser damage) significantly better within a couple days..., as soon as I stop using it, they get darker again. Also makes texture smoother. however zero change on very dark marks , which are probably future moles , and impossible to lighten naturally anyway !
Added the dark spot fix to my skin care routine and definitely helped speed up the process of getting rid of my dark spots. After about 2 months of being consistent the results are great!
Years of tanning beds and lack of sunscreen when I was younger, has left me with dark spots, dark splotches and an uneven skin tone. I’ve been using this for about a month and I’m really noticing a difference. My dark spots have drastically faded and my skin seems more even and healthier than before. This, paired with my moisturizer, is my morning and nighttime routine . I’ll continue to purchase this product.
I have been using the Dark Spot Fix for about 2 months and it has lightened my hyperpigmentation a little bit. I don't have a picture of how dark the hyperpigmentation was before I started using the Dark Spot Fix. My face is darker on my left side and is lightening quicker on my right side.
The brightening moisturizer keeps my skin smooth and a little brighter.
I have been using this product for 3 months but still have dark spots that should have faded within these months after use. I will continue to use it for 2 more months to see if your product really does what you said it supposed to do. At this moment, I really don't see any definite changes to get excited and to say your product does what it supposed to do. Also, I have been using the eye firm for about 2 months and see no changes to what that is to do. This is my honest review that I can give you.
I'm an old white woman with significantly sun-damaged skin who still battles oil. The cleanser, toner, and cream are excellent. I decided to try it after reading the toner ingredients and it, as well as the cream, are packed with the most recommended products now that hydroquinone is no longer OTC. I've seen a significant imporovement in my complexion as a whole and the dark spots in particular.
I love this dark spot remover!! It actually works in weeks compared to months. I have used Clinique and other expensive products and none of them worked like this one does. I highly recommend!!
I purchased this back in march and decided to wait a few months before writing a review.
I have a dark spot on my cheek that breaks out if I put anything on it. So I have to be cautious. I started using it once a week for a few weeks and then gradually started using it 2x a week and now I do it 4x a week.
This stuff is amazing! I’ve been taking monthly pictures and I notice my dark spot on my cheek is slowly fading. I will most definitely repurchase this
Just received my order: 4 items, including the dark spot fix. I noticed that the "dark spot fix" was NOT FULL. The product only came up to the level of the round Bolden logo and it was EMPTY above the round logo. Considering the size of the pink container and the price, the dark spot fix cream container should be full. Other comparable brands fill their containers to the brim.
I have been using the dark spot fix for two weeks now. I haven’t noticed any big improvement to my dark spots yet. I don’t have any before and after photos to share. However I will continue to use as directed, hopefully some improvement will come. I will update my review if any changes.
Thank you
I love the texture and the fact that it doesn’t irritate my face (almost everything does). The only complaint I have is that it smells like tires. It’s not a strong smell, but it’s definitely there.
I have noticed fading using this product. I will continue to use. I love that it comes in a pump, easy to apply. Absorbs well into the skin without greasiness.
Also I would love to see fade gel version, aloe based without coconut oil or derivatives, which is non comedogenic. I feel a gel is helpful for oily skin types. I use the Dark Spot Fix on my body but not on my face as I have an oily t-zone and don’t want to break out with more spots to fade.
This product has already shown visible results on me in just two weeks. I have plenty of hyperpigmentation from years of sun damage. This product, in addition to a daily spf has really helped lighten my dark spots especially around my cheeks, under eyes, and forehead. I’m excited to see the results an another week.
I’m really happy with the results of this product. The smaller brown spots are much lighter and the bigger one is a bit lighter. I couldn’t be happier:)
Very minimal results so far. I’ve used one bottle so far. I have another one so we’ll see but I’ve used far better dark spot creams with faster results. But I like Bolden products so thought I’d give it a try.
I have been using this serum for about 6 weeks now and I definitely see a difference. My dark spots look a lot lighter! I don’t use a lot just a pea sized amount on the areas that need lightening and I still have good amount of serum left in the bottle. I will for sure be purchasing another one though!
I didn’t have any scars on my legs and bumped my leg at work and a spot developed. I looked for a good product and just so happen to see the name BOLDEN and decided to try it and I am glad I did. I am of a very light skin tone so a dark spot is SUPER NOTICEABLE.It is working better than expected thank you Bolden.
For a while, I had two large areas of hyperpigmentation around my chin that I could not get rid of. My friend recommended the 'Dark Spot Fix' product and within 2 weeks, I was seeing results. Fast forward to today (5 weeks later) my dark spots are pretty much gone! Would 100% recommend!
I have been using the skin lightener for 2 weeks and I have noticed lightening of the hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and around my eyes. I am waiting for the dark area around my chin to lighten. Otherwise I am happy with the product so far.
