You Won't Believe My Before-and-After Photos After Using This Drugstore Dark Spot Serum

My mother said my skin “has never looked better.” Our editors personally choose the products featured here, and we may earn a commission from the links on this page.

I had never maintained a steady skincare routine or found a product worth finishing. Growing up in India, I used simple bar soap and whatever moisturizer was available, and my complexion stayed clear. I never thought about dark spots, uneven texture, or dullness.

After moving to the United States eight years ago, things changed. My cheeks developed breakouts that left scars and rough patches. I tried various toners, acne treatments, and popular products claiming to clear the skin, but nothing worked. My complexion stayed dull and uneven.

Then, a few months ago, the beauty editors at Oprah Daily asked me to test the Eucerin Radiant Tone Dual Serum. What began as a 12-week trial turned into a long-term commitment — I’ve now used it for over 30 weeks, and it has become essential to my routine.

Why This Serum Works

Part of Eucerin’s Radiant Tone line, which includes a cleanser, SPF lotion, and night cream.
Formulated with Thiamidol, a compound that helps fade dark spots from sun damage, aging, or acne.
Contains hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and smoother skin.

“What was meant to be a 12-week trial has turned into an ongoing love story.”
