I just found it at my local Walmart but it was not with the regular creams. It was in the travel section. They only had two small sizes (l.75oz for $1.49 each), and I grabbed both of them. Now I cannot wait to see how this does on my hands. Thanks.

I lucked up and found a small jar in the travel size racks at Walmart for $1.47...they didn't have the large jar at all. I'm happy with the small trial size, it's 1.75 oz just enough to see if it works. The scent is strong but I've smelled worse. It won't keep me from using it.

Thanks I went to Walmart and picked up 2 trial size, one for me and one for my cousin. She's coming in from Houston next weekend on the 8th and she's always complaining about her dark spots. I have a very small spot on my upper cheeks that can be hidden with concealer but I'm going to try it and see if it works and hopefully it will work for her.

I have only used this for two days but I really like it! It makes my skin feel like silk.I don't have a problem with the scent at all. I found the normal to dry formula at my local Target. I ordered it online and picked it up at the store (even though Target has free shipping now for the holidays). It was two dollars cheaper than at my Kroger. It was not available at my local Walgreens.

I will report in a few weeks about the spot fading effect. Thanks for the heads up on this one!

Was wondering if anybody also is trying this cream. I have used mine twice and am impressed with the fact that I can freely use it on my face without getting a rash or irritation. Will need to concentrate on the meslasma spot.

Once on, the smell dissapates and it causes a nice "glow" on the skin. That's the review so far!

I have a question... aren't parabens and mineral oil the main "base" ingredients in renova? I love even the inactive Renova as an undereye cream... it really does wonders.

I used it yesterday for the first time alone and then I took a shower, reapplied, followed by my serious skincare regimen and this morning I can already see lightening on the dark area above my cheeks. I say this product is going to do the trick for me. Thanks

I have been using the Ponds twice a day for about a week now, and I can see the spots on my hands and forearms lightening up so I'm going to keep at it. I got the normal to oily formula and I really like the texture and the smell. Very nice.

I think it's going to work for me too. Hope so anyway. I like it and am going to give it a good chance. Smiley Happy

I really hate the smell a lot, it reminds me of a terrible cheap perfume but nothing else has worked for me like this cream. I tried hydroquinone products and a couple of other niacinamide containing creams and they did nothing. This wiped out tons of melasmas and some very dark freckles. You can see from my pics posted. I don't care about mineral oil etc. If my skin isn't reactive to it and it works I'm in. Also, I'm tired of spending money on things that do nothing because they are "organic" and natural whatever. I'm fed up and crabby with hard sells at this point. $10 and results are a repeat buy for me lol
