"Your type of pigmentation"

  • Melasma 🌸

    “Melasma is what we call hormone-driven pigmentation. It often shows up as symmetrical patches, usually across the cheeks, forehead, or above the lip. What’s going on underneath is that hormones like estrogen and progesterone overstimulate your pigment-making cells, so they go into overdrive. That’s why melasma is so stubborn - it’s not just on the surface, the pigment sits deeper in the skin. Sun and even heat make it flare more, so SPF and calming the skin are non-negotiables.”

  • Sunspots ☀️

    “Sunspots are those little flat dark marks that pop up on areas that see the sun most - face, chest, hands. They usually come with age or after years of sun exposure. Over time, UV light pushes your pigment cells to keep producing more melanin in one spot, and it builds up, almost like a stain on the surface of the skin. The more sun you’ve had, the more of them appear. The good news is that they’re usually more superficial, so with exfoliation, turnover, and protection, they fade more predictably than melasma.”

  • Acne Scarring 💥

    “These are the dark marks that hang around after a pimple or any kind of skin trauma. Even when the spot heals, the mark stays behind. When your skin gets inflamed, your pigment cells get triggered as part of the healing response and they dump extra melanin into that area. That’s why the spot looks darker than the rest of your skin. Over time, your skin will naturally shed and fade it, but sun exposure and slow cell turnover keep those marks visible for longer. That’s why exfoliation and pigment-blocking ingredients are key.”

"Okay so this is what I recommend"

  • The Smash Set 🧪

    👉 “Whether your pigmentation is from hormones, sun, or acne, this set covers every pathway: it prevents new pigment, speeds up repair, and protects against darkening."


    Exfoliating Cleanser:

    Lifts away pigmented, damaged cells with salicylic + mandelic acid, revealing fresher skin underneath.
    Hydrating Mist:

    Keeps the barrier balanced and calm, reducing inflammation that triggers uneven tone.
    Renewal Fluid (Retinol + Azelaic Acid): Retinol speeds up turnover to fade marks, while azelaic acid blocks tyrosinase (the enzyme behind excess pigment).
    Antioxidant Moisturizer:

    Protects against free radicals (UV, pollution) that worsen pigmentation.
    SPF:

    The most important step: shields against UV, the #1 trigger for pigmentation.

  • Treatment Products💉

    👉 “Together, these treatments supercharge results: the peel lifts away pigmented cells, microneedling stimulates renewal and repair, and advanced actives (including something new 👀) target pigment at the source.”


    Needling (with Peptide Serum):
    Boosts collagen while helping break up uneven pigment and fade stubborn marks faster.
    Resurface Chemical Peel:
    High-strength AHAs exfoliate and resurface, fading sunspots and brightening dull, uneven skin. If you still dealing with active acne as well - use our Decongest Chemical Peel instead or alternate between the two.

    Something New is Coming…
    We’re developing a targeted pigment treatment with advanced actives to address melanin right at its source. Watch this space.
    *If you are serious about treating ageing at the same time you can add our Regeneration Gel.

  • Extras🎀

    Pimple Patches:
    If pigmentation starts from breakouts, patches help stop picking, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of dark marks.

    Lip Protect (with SPF filters):
    Hydrates lips while protecting against UV damage that breaks down collagen and causes pigmentation. A simple step with long-term anti-ageing benefits.

"RETINOL DETAILS"

How do I choose my retinol strength?

“Start low, build slow. If you’ve never used retinol before, go with 2.1 - Renewal Fluid 1 and let your skin get used to it. If you’ve used retinol before or your skin can handle stronger actives, then 2.2 - Renewal Fluid 2 is your level. And don’t worry - you can always move up later when your skin is ready. No rush.”

How do I introduce retinol into my routine?

“Think of retinol like the gym for your skin. You don’t go 7 days a week on day one. Start 2 nights a week, see how your skin responds, then increase slowly to 3 nights a week and so on. If you’re a little sensitive, buffer it with moisturiser - basically just switch the steps around: Cleanse, Moisturiser, Retinol. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

Should I stop retinol when I’m doing treatments?

“Great question - here’s the rule of thumb:

  • Before treatment → If your skin is sensitive, skip the night before. If your skin’s tolerant, you don’t have to.
  • After treatment → Always skip retinol for 2–3 days to let your skin recover (depending on your sensitivity). Treatments + retinol = too much at once. Let the treatment do its thing first.”

Who shouldn’t use retinol?

“Skip it if you’re pregnant. You can replace your retinol step with our Regeneration Gel. Also, if your skin is flaring (eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis etc), hit pause. Think of retinol as an accelerator - you don’t hit the gas when the engine light is on.”
