Sanitize all equipment and bottles thoroughly. Combine the distilled water and preserved aloe vera liquid. Add the niacinamide and stir until completely dissolved. Mix in the panthenol and licorice root extract. Add the Euxyl PE 9010 and stir gently. Check and adjust the pH to between 5.5 and 6.0 if necessary. Bottle in a clean pump or airless pump bottle.

Morning: Cleanse with a gentle cleanser, apply 2–3 pumps of the serum, follow with a lightweight moisturizer if needed, and finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen.

Evening: Cleanse with a gentle cleanser, apply 2–3 pumps of the serum, and follow with a lightweight moisturizer if needed.

Niacinamide helps reduce excess oil, strengthens the skin barrier, and gradually improves uneven skin tone. Licorice Root Extract is a gentle botanical ingredient that helps brighten the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation. Panthenol soothes and hydrates the skin without leaving a greasy feel. Daily sunscreen is essential because UV light and visible light are major triggers for melasma.

With consistent use and daily sun protection, improvements in skin tone and the appearance of dark spots may become noticeable over 8–12 weeks. Melasma is a chronic condition and usually requires ongoing maintenance.

Patch test for 24 hours before first use. For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if significant irritation occurs. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clients with severe, rapidly changing, or persistent pigmentation should consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
