About Dark Spots & Uneven Tone

In short: Care for the look of dark spots and uneven tone is built on two steps: an active used regularly in the evening and sunscreen every morning. As the evening active, choose tranexamic acid and alpha arbutin (Hit The Spot), azelaic acid (Shine On You) or glycolic acid (Glyc-Alright); for the morning, there is the SPF 50+ Crush On Pink.

Which product for which need?

  • The look of sun-related dark spots and dark post-blemish marks: Hit The Spot – 2% tranexamic acid, 2% alpha arbutin; evening serum.
  • The look of redness and marks: Shine On You – 7% azelaic acid, 3% niacinamide; evening cream.
  • Dullness and rough-looking texture: Glyc-Alright – 7% glycolic acid, 2% niacinamide; evening toner.
  • Uneven tone across the whole face: Rice You Up – 5% niacinamide, 5% rice extract; can also be used in the morning.
  • Sensitive, dry and normal skin: Rice Rice Baby – 5% rice extract, 3% niacinamide; contains no exfoliating acids.
  • Daytime: Crush On Pink – a pink-tinted sunscreen with alpha arbutin and niacinamide.
  • The look of darker underarms: Roll-On The Floor – an antiperspirant roll-on with a vitamin C derivative.

How to combine them

Hit The Spot and Rice You Up both contain tranexamic acid; use one in the evening and the other in the morning. Do not add other acid products on an evening when you use Glyc-Alright.

What not to expect

The look of dark spots does not change overnight; any change shows over time, with regular use and daytime protection. Pitted or raised scars are a change in texture, and these products do not correct them. See your doctor about any mole or lesion that is new, changing, itchy or bleeding.
