How to Use
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.
Why These Ingredients Work
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.
Expected Results Brightening Balancing Serum
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.
Precautions
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.
