Dark spots & uneven tone

A consistent routine can help skin look brighter and more even. Start with a gentle cleanser, choose one brightening treatment you tolerate and use broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning. Product choice matters more than stacking many strong actives.

Morning

Cleanse with Tender Cleanse. Choose either C Glow (10% ascorbic acid) or C Glow +20 (20% L-ascorbic acid with ferulic acid) according to tolerance. Add moisturiser if needed, then apply Defence 50 generously as the final skincare step. Reapply sunscreen according to the label.

Evening

Cleanse gently and use Illuminate as directed if it suits your skin. If considering retinol, introduce it on separate evenings first, following the product label. Finish with moisturiser.

Choosing products safely

Dark spots have different causes. A cosmetic routine cannot diagnose or treat an underlying condition. Seek professional advice for new, changing or persistent pigmentation, and follow all product precautions.
