What it is

How to use

• AM: Cleanse, apply a pea-sized amount to areas of concern, allow to absorb, then follow with a broad-spectrum SPF before sun exposure.
• PM: Cleanse, apply to dark spots or uneven areas, then continue with your usual moisturiser or serums.
• Use consistently morning and night for best results; if irritation occurs reduce frequency or stop use.

Why it works

• Arbutin (5%): helps regulate pigment formation to reduce the look of dark marks and uneven patches.
• Glycyrrhetinic Acid: derived from licorice, it soothes skin and supports a calmer appearance under environmental stress.
• Vitamin E: an antioxidant that helps protect skin from oxidative stress and supports overall skin comfort.

What to expect

• With regular use most people notice gradual improvement in tone and reduction of marks within 4–6 weeks.
• Skin will feel hydrated and look less dull; results depend on consistent application and sun protection.

Good to know

• Patch test before first use on a small area of skin.
• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs.
• If irritation or persistent redness develops, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak with your healthcare professional before starting products containing active ingredients.
