"This is my 4th bottle. Really good for dark spot"

Huyen N. (4/5)

I feel this product has

"I feel this product has more to release because of its lucrious smooth ingredient not dry very creamy. I have had it long enough to see what it claima but ita very smooth and not dry as Obagi. I love your mousturizer as well. JMcGhee"

Love it!

"Love this! Not heavy and feels good on my skin as soon as I put it on. I feel it has lightened my dark spots I had on my check area. Consistency is key! I noticed when I stopped using it briefly I saw no changes. I’ll be continuing to use. This is my third bottle. If you’re unsure if you want this or not, I’d say Buy it! lol (but every single product I’ve bought from Image, I love!)"

Absolutely great

"Consistency is key!!!!! The product is great use with all the intense brightening items. I use 2x a day but a few drops go along way especially when applying sunscreen. I love the glow and change in my skin. I definitely recommend if you need to even out the skin tone of your skin. Remember it’s quality not quantity. A few drops go along long way. I’ve seen results in about a month of consistency."

My Holy Grail

"I love love love this product! One of our estheticians at my spa (I’m receptionist) gave me a facial using this product and it left me glowing all day. I was doing so research as my spa sells image skincare line and come to find out it’s great for dark spots so I purchased some and let me say it’s money well spent. I have acne prone skin and no matter how gentle I am blemishes will still pop and leave dark spots but luckily for me this product was just what I needed. My dark spots are barely visible especially with makeup (they used to come through even with color correction). So happy my Spa sells the image brand as it’s currently the only thing working for my oily and acne prone skin. I also really love there clear cell line too. This product is the one I simply refuse to live without. Chef kiss 😘 to the whole team. Your products are phenomenal!"

Is it safe to use this product for a bit over the 12 months once it's been opened? Or should I throw it out?
Hello Mayra if you see a slight variation in color, odor and texture- that can be normal. However, if you see gross changes in color, odor or the product separates, its time to discard the product after the expiration date.
I received a bottle of this as a gift from a friend because I loved my first bottle so much. This bottle is a little different though. The smell is really strong and over powering not like what I remember the other one to be. It is very dark in color I feel like the first one I had was much lighter and thinner. This one also is more sticky. Is it possible it is going bad? It says it doesn’t expire until 2024 but it just seems off.
We would recommend finding out where your gift was purchased. If it was purchased through an unauthorized reseller this could be why your item does not seem correct. We recommend only purchasing from authorized resellers as your item could be a diverted product and do not recommend to continue use if purchased from an unauthorized seller.
Can this be used with the max serum and ageless hyaluronic filler? If so, what order would I apply?
We would recommend alternating between the Max Stem Cell Serum & the Iluma Intense Brightening Serum for morning & evening. We would recommend using this in the morning and then applying the Ageless Total Hyaluronic Filler once the serum has dried down on to the skin. Then in the evening alternating to the Max Stem Cell Serum & applying the Ageless Total Hyaluronic Filler following the serum for best results.
