COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know.
Existing dark spots are deposits of melanin in the deeper skin layers — they fade as skin renews itself and new, unpigmented cells surface. This takes full skin cycles (28–40 days each). Consistent use is required over weeks, not days.
Yes — SPF is essential and non-negotiable when targeting dark spots. UV exposure re-triggers melanin production, undoing any fading progress. Use BRIGHT (vitamin C serum) + SPF every morning alongside FADE.
Yes — retinol accelerates cell turnover which supports faster fading of dark spots. Use FADE in the morning, YOUTH in the evening, and always wear SPF during the day.
Apply FADE in the morning after toning. Follow with moisturizer and SPF.. As a general rule: cleanse → tone → serum (thinnest to thickest) → oil or moisturizer to seal.
FADE is most effective on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH from acne/blemishes), sun spots, and uneven skin tone. Melasma is more stubborn and may require medical treatment alongside topical care. Congenital birthmarks are outside the scope of cosmetic serums.
