Pros
- Popular active for PIH combined with niacinamide frequently mentioned in routine stacks
- Wide community use as a daily brightening serum especially in tropical climates
- Good adjunct to other actives like azelaic acid and tretinoin for stubborn pigmentation
Cons

- Not effective for everyone and may require layering with other actives for noticeable impact
- Offers limited benefits beyond brightening and pigment fading; not a miracle worker for all discoloration types
