How It Works on Dark Spots

Dark spots often appear after acne, sun exposure, or skin irritation. This formula uses proven ingredients to help even skin tone over time.

Tranexamic Acid targets excess pigmentation and helps reduce discolouration. Niacinamide supports tone balance and strengthens the skin barrier. Arbutin helps limit melanin production for a brighter complexion.

With consistent use, skin looks clearer and more even.
