I found mine at Marshall's, and bought it on a whim.  It was around $5 at Marshall's, but as their stock can vary from store to store, know that you can get it from Sally's for sure.

Before:

I used this on a dark spot that I gained with my last pregnancy.  After nearly a year, it still hadn't faded away, and I was getting tired of looking at it.  I didn't try to conceal it, but it was annoying how long it was taking for it to go away (these spots, when gained as a result of pregnancy, are supposed to fade afterwards).

For the first three days, I tried to apply it as the directions indicate, but trying to massage in a serum on such a small patch of skin was irritatingly difficult, because the spot is smaller than my fingertip so I couldn't keep it contained to just that spot.  So, I started to apply it with the little applicator wand, and then used the wand to rub it in a bit, and then just let it sit there until the liquid dried.  It seemed to work well.  The spot has faded considerably.  Once the spot is completely gone, I am going to start applying the serum to a larger surface area, to see if it will even out my general skintone.  Unfortunately, I still have not upgraded my camera, so the photos don't do complete justice to how much this spot actually faded.

After!
