The ritual it lives inside
Complete the ritual
The dark spot serum and the uneven tone serum, layered. Steady work toward even skin.
The Read
A targeted serum for sun spots and marks left behind.
What it is
A 1% kojic acid spot serum.
Kojic acid at 1%, with vitamin C, vitamin E, sea buckthorn oil and rosemary extract. A small, concentrated dose meant for the spot, not the whole face.
Why it works
Kojic acid works on the look of pigment.
It slows the enzyme behind pigment, so existing spots look lighter over time and new ones are less likely to show. Dark spots fade slowly. Expect weeks of nightly use, and wear sunscreen daily, or sun undoes the progress.
How to use
A dab on the spot, nightly.
On clean, dry skin, before moisturizer. Onto the spot only. Nightly and consistent.
