It is specifically designed to help visibly reduce dark spots and post-blemish marks, while improving overall brightness. Its lightweight texture absorbs easily, making it a gentle yet effective option for skin that may be prone to breakouts.
DOES VITAMIN C HELP REDUCE HYPERPIGMENTATION?

In our dark spot serum, Activated Vitamin C is specifically formulated to target skin discolouration and help break down the appearance of uneven pigmentation.

CAN I USE VITAMIN C AND RETINOL TOGETHER?
Vitamin C serum and retinol can both be part of your skincare routine, but it’s best not to apply them at the same time. For optimal results, apply Vitamin C serum in the morning to help brighten and protect the skin, and use retinol at night to support skin renewal. This approach helps maximise benefits while minimising the risk of irritation.
