They were probably trying to clear out stock closest to expiration. I'd always wanted to try their Laser Focus serum with the dropper, but I'd given up after buying that brown bottle from Est**. Big mistake, by the way! I still can't figure out why people love that brown bottle so much. Sure, it evens out the complexion, but shouldn't it also handle hydration for that price? It left my skin feeling super tight... Is that supposed to be anti-aging? What kind of logic is that? Anyway, during the Clinique sale, the Laser serum kept selling out - total madness! I finally managed to snag one when I traveled again two weeks later, timing it perfectly with the sale. But getting just one item seemed a bit of a waste, so I also picked up the Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector. It was pricier than the Smart Serum or Optimizer, so I figured it must be better, right? And wow, what a game-changer for me! I bought it without even checking the ingredients! Why? Because I've had so many products with 'perfect' ingredients that did absolutely nothing for my skin. By the way, it seems European cosmetics often use Ascorbyl Glucoside for brightening, while Korean brands favor Niacinamide. I think my skin doesn't respond well to Niacinamide. This product evens out my complexion as well as the brown bottle, but it's less drying. It doesn't leave my skin quite as silky smooth, though. They say you'll see amazing results after 4 weeks of consistent use, morning and night, but I started getting surprised when I looked in the mirror after just 2 weeks. 'Why is my face so bright? I haven't even washed it yet!' Keep in mind, my bathroom has super bright white fluorescent lighting that shows every single blackhead - it's almost unpleasant! But in terms of evening out my complexion, this is hands down the best brightening product I've ever used!
Cons1. It's expensive 2. While it might be enough on its own for combination to oily skin in summer, it lacks hydration for dry skin types 3. The opaque packaging makes it impossible to tell how much product you've used or how much is left. It would be a disaster if it suddenly ran out mid-pump... Better stock up! 4. As far as I know, the 100ml size isn't available in domestic department stores. I'd recommend buying from overseas or duty-free shops
TipUse 2-3 pumps to cover your nose (I usually avoid putting product there because it gets so oily) and neck too! Transform into a snow-white princess from head to toe!

My complexion has become more even, and my face not only brightened but actually lightened, with a noticeable glow. It seems to work on dark circles too. I've tried many products claiming to be good for brightening, but I think I'll be sticking with this one.
ConsEverything's great except it's drying. I mean, really, really drying... If it weren't for this, it would be perfect!

My skin feels so soft and smooth now. Even when I try other products, I always come back to this one. It's especially great during summer or seasonal changes.
ConsThe price... that's the biggest drawback, unfortunately!

It's been over three weeks, and while there's no significant difference in specific areas like dark spots or freckles yet, I'm pleased that the fragrance is almost non-existent, making it gentle and non-irritating.
ConsThe volume seems small compared to the price. With my large face, I need two pumps each time, so I'll likely use it up in just over a month. The loose cap is a concern for travel - one unlucky bump and you might find $39 worth of product pumped out in your bag! The opaque container makes it impossible to see how much is left. It's nerve-wracking not knowing when I'll need to brace myself for another trip to the department store. I wish I could gauge the remaining amount more easily.

Even before finishing the whole bottle, I could feel my face becoming brighter. It wasn't just me who noticed - people around me commented that my complexion looked more radiant and luminous. I'm definitely planning to repurchase!
ConsThe quantity seems a bit too small for the price. That's slightly disappointing.

I'm satisfied with how it makes my skin look more radiant and translucent.
ConsI haven't used it consistently. I use it every winter, but I'm not sure about its effectiveness in improving dark spots and freckles.

My father particularly enjoys it, saying it makes his skin feel moisturized and silky smooth.
ConsI had to stop using it midway because something appeared on my face. When exposed to sunlight, my skin felt a bit more sensitive. It wasn't large, oily blemishes, but rather small, bumpy ones that emerged.

I've been using it for three months now, and let's be honest, expecting dramatic results like you'd get from a dermatologist is a bit unrealistic for skincare products. However, even without whitening ingredients, my complexion has become noticeably brighter and more radiant compared to my previous routine. That's why I've repurchased and continue to use it!
ConsAs someone with dry skin, it's pretty good aside from the dryness. Apart from when my skin was feeling sensitive, I didn't find anything particularly disappointing about it.

While it didn't turn my dark skin light, I still think I saw positive results.
ConsThe price is a bit steep. I also wish it absorbed well into the skin a bit better.
