What it is

How to use

• PM: Cleanse, then apply a pea-sized amount to the face and neck in the evening, avoiding the eye area. Start with 1–2 nights per week and increase frequency as tolerated.
• AM: Use a gentle cleanser and daytime moisturiser, then apply sunscreen. Daily sun protection is essential when using products containing retinol; link to a suitable SPF product SPF.
• If irritation or dryness develops, reduce frequency or buffer with a simple moisturiser.

Why it works

• NeoGlucosamine: Supports surface renewal to help reduce visible pigmentation.
• Retinol: Encourages skin turnover to help disperse pigment and smooth texture (introduce slowly).
• SabiWhite (Curcuma longa extract): Plant-derived ingredient that helps reduce the appearance of new dark spots.
• Ascorbyl glucoside (Vitamin C derivative): A brightening antioxidant form of Vitamin C for daily environmental support.
• Vitamin E & Shea Butter: Nourishing ingredients that support the skin barrier and moisturise overnight.

What to expect

Skin responses vary. Many users notice improved luminosity and diminished appearance of some dark spots within 4–8 weeks of consistent nightly use. Temporary dryness, flaking or mild redness can occur while the skin adjusts; if severe irritation develops, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Good to know

• Perform a patch test before full-face use.
• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding because it contains retinol.
• Avoid using strong chemical exfoliants or additional retinoids on the same night to reduce irritation risk.
• Stop use if persistent irritation or allergic reaction occurs and seek medical advice.
