Why our retinol is different
0.5% encapsulated retinol — releases gradually so it's gentler on deeper skin tones prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Brightening Collection FAQ

Anyone targeting dark spots, post-acne marks, melasma, or overall uneven tone. It was formulated for melanin-rich skin first, so it brightens without the irritation that can trigger new hyperpigmentation.
Yes. Many customers alternate: Brightening Boost Cream in the morning for tone, Age Reversal Cream at night for anti-aging. If you own both systems, keep the cleanser and serum steps the same and swap the treatment step.
Most customers report first changes in tone around 4 weeks, with more even, luminous skin by 8–12 weeks of consistent AM/PM use.
Sun exposure is what created the dark spots. Daily SPF 30+ protects your progress — skipping it undoes the brightening work.
“It is easy to use, gentle on my skin, and I have gotten complimented on my skin literally after ONE day of using it.”
