Reviews mention

  • Potent dark-spot fading serum
  • Gentle, fragrance-free formulations
  • Effective ingrown hair treatment
  • Soothing, eczema-friendly hydrators
  • Pungent sulfur-like serum odor
  • Occasional drying, irritating effects
  • Messy, sharp-edged metal tubes
  • Sticky, tacky lip texture

Topicals earns strong reviews for effective hyperpigmentation care—especially the Faded serum—and soothing, hydrating staples like Like Butter and High Roller, making the brand a good choice for dark spots, ingrowns, and reactive skin. Reviews also flag persistent drawbacks: a sulfuric/chemical smell in Faded, occasional dryness or irritation, sticky lip textures for some, and messy or sharp-edged metal tubes and leaky sprays.

  • I love the Like Butter Hydrating Mask - it really helps with dryness and keeping my skin moisturized. While I also like the Faded serum, I find that the eye masks don't make a difference in brightening the under eye area.

  • i tried the faded serum and i did see some results on my skin but have a few critiques.

    Feedback

    the serum smells horrible like a rotten egg and the metal tube is annoying to use and the product leaks out of it.

  • 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.

    Make pricing a little more reasonable

  • It really did lighten my dark marks slowly but surely. Probably could have saved money by trying this first instead of shopping around for dupes

  • I really wanted to love Topicals Faded but it just did not work as well as expected or live up to the hype. Not sure if it’s just a one off but my skin did not see significant results as how people on other reviews portray it. The Butter was okay I use it overnight but it doesn’t mix well with other products. I would still recommend might just be my skin could work for others

  • Tried the faded- didn’t work as claimed and had a bad scent

    Sell travel sized portions and improve scent

  • I have come to have pretty sensitive, dry, and acne prone skin over the years, and this product doesn't irritate my skin at all or dry it. Still in the process of testing, but love it so far!!

    I wish it would be a little more acne preventative.
