Spotless Ultraserum, 30ml

Concentrated brightening serum. The strongest thing we stock for dark spots and uneven tone.

Gluconolactone, hexylresorcinol and niacinamide together. Hexylresorcinol works on pigment production, niacinamide evens tone and keeps redness down, and the gluconolactone exfoliates gently so nothing sits on the surface blocking the rest. There’s a transdermal booster in the base, which is why it’s this concentrated and why you use very little.

The brand’s own three-week testing puts pigmentation spots down by 27 to 33%, alongside smoother texture and tighter-looking pores.

How to use: evening. A pea-sized amount on clean skin, avoiding the eyes. Then wait half an hour before anything else goes on, which sounds fussy and isn’t optional. Start once or twice a week, build to alternate nights. SPF every morning.

Good to know: recommended after a peel. Contains mandarin oil, so it has a scent. If you’re pregnant, ask us first.
