- Just started trying out the like butter mask -- feels REALLY rich, which is personally a bit much for me. I can see those with super dry skin really loving this though.
- I love this brand and their innovative products. FADED has been a huge help in fading post acne marks and dark spots from the sun. It's a unique texture, has a funky scent but you kind of grow to love it, and it really works!
- I bought this for a friend recently and she absolutely loved it and said it worked wonders on her dark spots!
- Great product, especially the hyperpigmentation cream. I have eczema occasionally and have to deal with some scars and hyperpigmentation on my shoulders after an attack. This cream does the job without drying out my skin!
- I love this Black owned brand, I love the sustainable packaging. That these great products come in. I have both faded and butter. I think butter gives summer friday's jet lag cream a run for it money. It is a similar product but this feels a little more like me. Faded has faded my dark marks and i feel like this can be applied all over my body in ways other products don't recommend.
- Love the mask—great for my sensitive skin. And the brand is a home run.
- I’ve been using the faded serum for about 5 months now and started to see improvements in discoloration and texture within days of using! This is a staple in my skin care routine and I always keep it on hand
- I am a huge fan of Topical's brightening and Clearing serum. I can see a clear, noticeable difference in the brightness and clarity of my skin when I use it. I will say that the smell is not great - but it doesn't linger. So as long as you can get past the smell when you are using it, it makes a huge difference. I will continue to repurchase this product.
- Hate to admit it but I am not good at moisturizing. It always seems like such a hassle! Reaching hard areas, missing spots and overly goop products. Thankfully, topicals like butter has saved my lifeeee. I don’t have to fight myself or my depression to apply it with much effort. It’s great to reach my legs and back area with just a simple aim, press, rub. My skin texture has gotten so much better since I’ve began to properly nourish it. Having cracked skin is never the goal. I love the multiple usage of like butter and how much it helps just about every common skin issue. The heat of my city can really burn me up on a good Saturday, like butter aides sun burn! A back-acne flare up? Dry patches on my arms or legs? LIKE BUTTER BABY.. it’s literally a staple and I’ll recommend it to anyone with skin lol.
- I’ve struggled with hyperpigmentation from acne for years. They would typically last for months, and while I’ve used other skincare products to help, I think Faded really does work with consistent use.
- Nothing negative to report on just yet, stay tuned!
