Dark Spot Cream
- Post-acne marks & melasma
- Visible change in 2 to 3 weeks

Breakouts, sun and irritation all leave marks behind. This fades them without changing your natural tone. Two actives do the work: alpha-arbutin at 7%, and tranexamic acid at 4%. Most people see a change in the first two to three weeks.

How It Works
What it actually does
Two ingredients, two different jobs, one step.
Arbutin works on the pigment that is already in your skin — the mark you can see in the mirror right now.
Tranexamic acid works on the next one. It interrupts the signal that tells your skin to lay down pigment after inflammation, sun or a spot.
That is why it is one cream and not a routine. Fading and preventing are two different jobs, and this does both of them in the same step.
Why nothing else worked
Most of what gets sold for dark spots only does half the job.
Vitamin C, niacinamide alone, spot correctors. These mostly work on pigment that is already there. They fade the mark in front of you while your skin quietly lays down the next one. You get a few good weeks and then you stall, and you assume the product stopped working.
Exfoliating acids. They speed up how fast the surface sheds, which helps a little, and they irritate, which makes more pigment. For a lot of people that is a net loss and they never realise it.
Concealer. The tax you pay every morning for the thing you were trying to fix.
This is two actives doing two different jobs. Arbutin on the mark that is there. Tranexamic acid on the signal making the next one. That is what gets you ahead of it, and keeps you there.
Who it's for
Dark spots that outlast the breakout that caused them. Patches that darken every summer and never fully go back. Old acne marks that make you reach for foundation on a day you did not want to wear any.
This fades the spot and leaves your tone exactly as it is. Your tone stays yours — the marks sitting on top of it are the only thing that go.
How to use
Last step of your evening routine, on clean dry skin.
A pea-sized amount across the whole face, not just the spots — pigment you cannot see yet is already forming around them. Press in, do not rub.
Every night. Consistency beats intensity here; the skin turning over is what carries the old pigment up and out, and that takes weeks, not days.
Wear SPF in the morning. It is the single thing that keeps the marks you have faded from coming back, so every day you wear it, the progress you have made holds.
Ingredients
Alpha arbutin 7%. Blocks tyrosinase, the enzyme that builds melanin.
Tranexamic acid 4%. Calms the inflammation signal that triggers pigment production.
Niacinamide. Slows the transfer of finished pigment into the surface skin cells, and supports the barrier so the other two do not irritate.
Glutathione. Antioxidant support against the oxidative stress that drives pigment.
No hydroquinone. No fragrance. No essential oils.
FAQ
Will this change my natural skin tone?
Your natural tone stays exactly as it is. This works on the marks sitting on top of it, and nothing else.
How long before I see something?
Within the first two to three weeks. Your skin renews about every four to six weeks, so that is when the change gets obvious... and the older, deeper marks keep improving from there.
Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?
Yes. Vitamin C in the morning, this at night, is a good pairing. If you already use retinol, start this on alternate nights for two weeks and build up.
Melasma too?
Tranexamic acid is the ingredient most associated with melasma, and it is in here at 4%. Give it a little longer than post-acne marks, pair it with daily SPF, and the progress holds.
What if I change my mind?

progress after six weeks

Giulia C.
promising addition to my routine
after about six weeks i notice small changes. skin looks a bit smoother and slightly firmer in photos. the texture is light and absorbed quickly, and being fragrance free matters for my sensitive skin. my skin stayed calm, which is the biggest win for me.

fragrance free and effective for me
fragrance free formula was the draw for me since i react to scents. the color has softened where i had sun damage and i haven’t had any irritation or reactions.

uncomplicated and reliable
simple formula, no scent, no fuss. the texture spreads easily and sinks in without leaving a film, so it layers under makeup well. i like the feel and reach for it on busy mornings. haven’t seen any obvious changes in my skin yet, but it’s comfortable to use and I keep it in rotation.

Questions
Will this change my natural skin tone?
Your natural tone stays exactly as it is. It works on the marks sitting on top of it, and only on those.
Can I use it with retinol?
Yes. If you already use retinol, start this on alternate nights for two weeks and build up. If your skin is easily irritated, use them on different nights entirely.
How long until I see something?
Most people notice the newest marks fading in the first two to three weeks. Your skin renews about every four to six weeks, so that is when the change gets obvious... and the older, deeper marks keep improving from there.
My skin is sensitive.
Start three nights a week and build up from there. Niacinamide and the barrier support are in the formula for exactly this reason, so sensitive skin has something to lean on while the actives work.
Does it work on melasma?
Tranexamic acid is the ingredient most associated with melasma, and it is in here at 4%. Melasma moves at its own pace, so give it a little longer and wear SPF daily to lock in everything you gain.
Where do I put it?
Whole face, not just the spots. Pigment you cannot see yet is already forming around the ones you can.
Morning or night?
Night. Last step, clean dry skin.
