FAQs
Resorcinol Technology is a brightening innovation that helps visibly reduce the look of dark spots and uneven tone by targeting excess melanin at the source. It works to interrupt the signals that can lead to new pigment formation, helping prevent spots from reappearing while improving clarity and radiance.
Tranexamic Acid is a dermatologically recognised brightening ingredient that helps fight discoloration caused by UV exposure, inflammation, and hormonal factors. It works to minimise the appearance of stubborn dark patches and uneven tone, supporting a more uniform complexion over time.
The formula combines a powerful trio - Resorcinol Technology, Tranexamic Acid, and Glycolic Acid - to both treat and help prevent dark spots. It addresses pigment at multiple points in its formation while exfoliating away dull surface cells. The result is a more comprehensive, faster approach to visibly clearer, brighter skin.
Most people begin to see improved brightness and more even tone in as little as 2 weeks, with continued improvement over 4–12 weeks. Consistency is essential.
Yes. Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum is designed for daily use. Apply a thin layer once or twice a day after cleansing, before moisturiser.
You can use it both morning and night. If used during the day, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF to protect results and help prevent new dark spots.
Yes. It layers well with Vitamin C for enhanced brightness. If using retinol, introduce gradually and alternate days if skin feels sensitive.
The formula targets the underlying pigment pathways common to all types of discoloration, while glycolic acid improves overall surface clarity. Whether the discoloration is post-breakout, UV-related, or hormonal, the serum helps reduce visible uneven tone.
Yes. Daily SPF is essential. Sun exposure can trigger new dark spots and diminish results. A broad-spectrum sunscreen helps maintain brightness and prevents relapse.
Dark spots can return due to sun exposure, hormonal shifts, or inflammation. Continued sun protection and a consistent skincare routine help maintain results. Many people choose to keep the serum in their regular regimen for ongoing clarity.
Yes, but it’s best to consult your dermatologist or treatment provider. The serum can complement professional treatments by helping maintain even tone and prevent new spots from forming.
Yes. The serum brightens and corrects without hydroquinone, making it suitable for ongoing daily use.
Glycolic Acid gently exfoliates dull, surface cells to reveal fresher skin and enhance absorption of brightening ingredients. This helps speed visible clarity and smoothness.
Use it after cleansing and before moisturiser. For morning use, pair it with a Vitamin C serum to boost overall brightness, then finish with a broad spectrum SPF. For evening use, you may layer it with a gentle retinol or hydrating treatment. Maintain daily use and consistent sun protection to support optimal visible improvement.
