Whether it's from acne, excessive irritation, the sun, ingrown hairs, or something else, dark spots and hyperpigmentation are inevitable for me. Sunscreen helps to prevent it from getting worse. Tyrosinase inhibitors and brighteners like vitamin C, azelaic acid, and niacinamide can treat it after it's happened. However, one of the key steps to diminishing dark spots is consistent exfoliation. As I was strolling through the aisles of Target as one does on a random Sunday afternoon, the Versed Weekend Glow Daily Brightening Solution caught my attention with its bright and fun yellow packaging. Other exfoliating toners prioritize skin renewal or targeting pores and blemishes. However, this toner specifically focused on dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
It's got the best of both worlds, including a powerful blend of chemical exfoliants and skin-brighteners. Stubborn dark spots are something I've been dealing with for a long time, so anytime there's a product that deals with diminishing hyperpigmentation, I have to try it out. After finishing my first bottle of it, I fell in love with it. Not only did it help my complexion, but it was also a lifesaver for my underarms and bikini line. Keep reading to see my in-depth review and why I ended up buying five bottles (and counting) of this toner.

Versed Weekend Glow Daily Brightening Solution
Initially, I used two to three pumps of Versed Weekend Glow Daily Brightening Solution ($18) on a cotton pad and gently pressed it onto my complexion every other night. I used the remaining product on my underarms and bikini line to brighten up the areas. After using it for a few weeks, I loved the results, but more so on my body. The toner brightened up my underarms and bikini line, and it diminished and prevented ingrown hairs. I was shocked to see how well it worked on such delicate areas. The feel and appearance of both of those areas did a complete 180. Before, the skin in those areas looked rough and dull, but it became softer, even-toned, and radiant.
