Built for the Layer You Can't Scrub
*Typical concentrations in brightening creams. Individual results vary.
I canceled a $480-a-session laser booking and dotted this on every night from June. By my sister's wedding in September, someone posted a photo and I didn't ask to see it first.

Dark spots respond best to steady, gentle, nightly care that works on how pigment is made, plus daily sunscreen, rather than harsh scrubbing.

★★★★★actually helping my sun spots
“i’m half asleep typing this, but had to share after about six weeks the cream has lightened a few sun spots I’ve had on my cheeks. when i compare recent selfies, the darker patches are less noticeable and i reach for less concealer. texture is creamy and settles into skin without feeling heavy. pretty happy with the change”

★★★★★marked improvement in my post acne spots
“i had about two years of post acne marks and after using this cream for just under four months most of them have faded noticeably. my skin tone looks more uniform and i find myself reaching for concealer far less. i definitely notice the difference in photos. wish i’d found it sooner, honestly”
vivienne l. · Verified buyer · Acne marks
★★★★★smoother sun affected areas
“i’ve been using this on sun affected areas on my shoulders and chest. it absorbs well, and over time the skin looks smoother and the uneven tone appears softer. it fits easily into my routine”
michelle m. · Verified buyer · Chest and shoulders
★★★★★stopped relying on heavy concealer
“i used to pile on concealer to hide post acne marks. after about two months of using this cream at night the redness and dark spots on my cheeks have mellowed and the skin looks calmer in photos and the mirror. the change feels real and my skin texture looks healthier so i rarely reach for heavy coverage now”
Abigail · Verified buyer · Less concealer
★★★★★finally a simple step that helps my dark spots
“two kids, little sleep, and patches on my forehead and cheeks made my face feel blotchy. this single product is easy to apply even when i’m tired. by about week seven i could see the darker spots starting to fade in photos and in the mirror. my skin tone looks closer to even now and i need less concealer over those areas. it does work”

Why subscribe
1.
Face
For spots that linger long after you've stopped noticing what caused them. Dot it on each spot as your last step and let the arbutin and tranexamic acid work on the pigment underneath overnight.
2.
Face, jaw, chest, back
For the marks that stay after the breakout's gone. Tranexamic acid calms the inflammation signals that leave pigment behind, and arbutin slows the new pigment itself.
3.
Cheeks, forehead, hands
For the freckle-like spots that multiply every summer. It works on the UV-triggered signals underneath. Pair it with daily sunscreen.
4.
Cheeks, upper lip, forehead
For larger, cloudy patches that concealer never quite blends. A thin layer over the patch at night, with nothing to wash off.
5.
All over the face
For skin that just doesn't look like one color. Glutathione and niacinamide back up the two main actives for a more even-looking finish.
6.
Underarms
For underarms that make you think twice about sleeveless tops. No hydroquinone and no scrubbing, just a thin layer at night.
7.
Knees, elbows
For knees that look darker than the rest of your legs. Dot it on at night and let it work while you sleep.
8.
Inner thighs
For darker skin where there's friction. A gentle nightly layer, with no sting or peeling for most.

It's a leave-on night cream that most people use without stinging or peeling. It's made without hydroquinone and suits the face and body. If your skin is very sensitive, patch test on a small area first. Individual results vary.
Most dark spots, acne marks and sun spots are pigment your skin has made and stored, rather than something sitting on the surface. That's why scrubbing and concealer don't change them long-term. If a spot is changing in size, shape or color, or you're unsure what it is, see a dermatologist first.
Acne marks usually show up where breakouts were (jaw, cheeks, chin) and are flat and brown-to-dark. Sun spots tend to appear on areas that get the most sun, like the cheeks, forehead and hands. The Dark Spot Cream is used the same way on both: dot it on at night.
UV is one of the main triggers that tells skin to make more pigment. Tranexamic acid helps calm those signals, but daily sunscreen is still the most important partner to any dark spot routine. Use the cream at night and SPF every morning.
