Highly Effective Dark Spot Serum

"I'd give this serum 10 stars if I could, hands down the BEST DARK SPOT serum! I had sunspots and scarring from pimples that are darker than my skin color. This serum started with giving me a super, baby like, soft skin the first week. This is the 4th week and I am noticing my scares have faded so much and the dark spots are disappearing. . ."

Shelly D.

[Taytu is a] Hard-working product

"My skin was smoother and started glowing almost overnight. I have sensitive skin which reacts to most things on a first try so waking up to smooth skin tops it for me. The only other product that comes close to this serum that I have used is Shiseido's Bio Performance. Although great, it was too thick for me and would use it occasionally. . ."

Maggie D.

LOVEEEEE

"I love Taytu! I struggled with cystic acne for years and after I finally managed to clear it up, I was left with a lot of texture and dark spots. When I started using Taytu, I didn't really have high hopes tbh because I had tried so many products to no avail. The progress in the last two weeks alone is insane. . . My scars are already fading, my skin feels incredibly soft and the healthiest it's ever been."

Shannon M.

Remarkable

"Hands down [Taytu is] the best serum I’ve ever used. Just a few days into using this, my skin was more even and brighter as it says. This is worth trying! I love that the company stands for something good and works toward empowering other women financially as well."

Belen G.

HEALTHY GLOW

"A great find [Tana]! I love how glowing my skin looks after starting to use this serum. The texture is light and creamy but makes my skin feel soft. It has a refreshing herb, like a botanical garden smell but not overpowering. I'd recommend!"
