I recd mine also, but I bought a tube prior to with a free shipping coupon. I have a bad problem with sun spots/age spots on my neck and shoulders. It works only because it is tinted a "flesh" color and also rubs off onto light color clothes. At least the full size tube is tinted. I won't be purchasing it again, there is nothing in the active ingredient to fade spots, age spots, sun spots, etc. Anyway maybe it will be helpful for someone. Thanks
