Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
target dark spots, uneven skin tone
Source: Skintific
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: alpha-arbutin, tranexamic acid
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Might help reduce hyperpigmentation when used regularly over a long period of time. Is more effective than beta-arbutin

It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture.
