What it is

How to use

• AM: Cleanse, apply a small pump of serum to face and neck, follow with moisturiser. Complete with broad-spectrum SPF during the day.
• PM: Cleanse, apply serum after water-based treatments and before richer creams or oils.
• Allow the serum to absorb before layering makeup. Use consistently for best results; avoid combining with other strong actives without professional advice.

Why it works

• NeoGlucosamine™ – supports cell renewal and surface turnover to help reduce visible dark spots.
• Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) – a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C that helps brighten and improve radiance.
• Licorice root extract – helps limit new pigment formation and soothes skin.
• Resorcinol – acts on pathways that contribute to visible pigmentation.
• Niacinamide – helps calm inflammation and supports barrier function.
• Peptides – complement brightening by addressing pigment processes over time.

What to expect

• Initial improvements in skin tone and radiance may be seen within several weeks; more noticeable reduction in dark marks often requires consistent use over 4–8 weeks.
• Individual results vary depending on skin type, severity of pigmentation and routine consistency.

Good to know

• Patch test a small area before first use.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly if contact occurs.
• If irritation or persistent redness develops, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
• If pregnant or breastfeeding, check with a clinician before using products containing resorcinol or other actives.
