Dark Spot Fading Routine

A dark spot serum can help. But it was never meant to do the whole job. Pigmentation-prone skin doesn't just need one treatment step. It needs the routine around it: targeted care, barrier support, consistent SPF, the right AM and PM order — and time. That's why we created the Dark Spot Fading Routine: eight Korean skincare products sequenced into one complete AM + PM system, with printed Blueprint Cards that show you exactly what to use, in what order, and when to introduce each step. Made for skin that's already tried the individual products — and needs the structure around them. — WHY ONE SERUM ISN'T ENOUGH Dark marks can appear for more than one reason: old breakouts, sun exposure, inflammation, uneven tone and a weakened barrier can all play a part. So one serum can only ever do part of the job. This routine works from several angles at once: ✦ TXA helps target uneven pigmentation ✦ Niacinamide helps support a more even-looking tone ✦ Retinal supports overnight renewal and helps improve the look of existing marks over time ✦ Centella calms the feel of stressed skin — important for post-acne marks ✦ Daily SPF protects against the UV exposure that makes marks look darker and brings them back No single step does all of that. Together, in the right order, they make a routine your skin can actually stay consistent with. — MORNING PROTECTS. EVENING TARGETS. The routine uses brightening support at both ends of the day, on purpose. In the morning, a gentler serum supports uneven tone while SPF protects your progress. At night, a stronger TXA + niacinamide + retinal serum focuses on the look of existing marks and gradual renewal. And every day, Centella, Bifida and hydration keep the barrier calm — so your skin can keep going. The goal isn't to overwhelm your skin. It's to give it a clear routine it can stay with. — WHAT'S INSIDE Round Lab Birch Juice Cleanser (150 ml) — AM + PM Ultra-gentle water cleanse that leaves skin fresh without stripping the barrier.

WHY ONE SERUM ISN'T ENOUGH

Dark marks can appear for more than one reason: old breakouts, sun exposure, inflammation, uneven tone and a weakened barrier can all play a part. So one serum can only ever do part of the job.

This routine works from several angles at once:

✦ TXA helps target uneven pigmentation
✦ Niacinamide helps support a more even-looking tone
✦ Retinal supports overnight renewal and helps improve the look of existing marks over time
✦ Centella calms the feel of stressed skin — important for post-acne marks
✦ Daily SPF protects against the UV exposure that makes marks look darker and brings them back

No single step does all of that. Together, in the right order, they make a routine your skin can actually stay consistent with.

MORNING PROTECTS. EVENING TARGETS.

The routine uses brightening support at both ends of the day, on purpose.

In the morning, a gentler serum supports uneven tone while SPF protects your progress. At night, a stronger TXA + niacinamide + retinal serum focuses on the look of existing marks and gradual renewal. And every day, Centella, Bifida and hydration keep the barrier calm — so your skin can keep going.

The goal isn't to overwhelm your skin. It's to give it a clear routine it can stay with.

THE MATHS

Bought individually: £146.59 — and you'd still be working out how to layer brightening actives, retinal, barrier support and SPF without overwhelming your skin.

The complete system: £[SET PRICE], including the printed Blueprint Cards with the full retinal onboarding schedule and troubleshooting.

With twice-daily use, most products last around 3–4 months. You're not just saving money. You're getting the order that makes the actives safe to stay consistent with.

Jak używać

Read this first: this routine is not started aggressively.

Morning protects — brightening under daily SPF. Evening targets — the stronger TXA + retinal step, introduced slowly. Barrier support runs daily so your skin stays comfortable throughout.

The exact order, amounts, timing and the full retinal onboarding schedule are printed on your Blueprint Cards, inside every set:

✦ The full AM + PM sequence, every step numbered

✦ How much of each product to use, and when

✦ The week-by-week retinal schedule — starting gently, building only as your skin allows

✦ Troubleshooting for the adjustment phase

Before you buy, three things you should know: retinal is used at night only and introduced gradually, never nightly from day one. This routine is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. And don't combine it with prescription tretinoin or strong exfoliating acids — see the FAQ.

What to expect: pigmentation is slow, and anything promising to erase dark spots in days is not being straight with you. With consistency and daily SPF, most people notice more even-looking skin from around 6–8 weeks; older, deeper marks take longer.

FAQ

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Eight full-size Korean skincare products — no minis, no samples — sequenced into one complete AM + PM routine for dark spots, post-acne marks and uneven tone. That includes two brightening steps: a gentler daytime serum, and a stronger TXA + retinal serum for night. You also receive printed Blueprint Cards with step-by-step guidance, the retinal onboarding schedule and troubleshooting from day one.

HOW LONG UNTIL I SEE A DIFFERENCE?
Pigmentation is slow to shift — this is a long game, and consistency plus daily SPF matter far more than speed. Most people find their skin feels more hydrated within the first week or two. A more even-looking tone builds gradually, typically from around 6–8 weeks, and longer for older or deeper marks. Melasma-prone pigmentation can take longer still and often needs dermatologist support alongside a routine like this.

WHY ARE THERE TWO BRIGHTENING SERUMS?
The AM serum is a gentler daytime step, supporting uneven tone alongside your SPF. The PM serum is a stronger TXA + niacinamide + retinal step for stubborn-looking marks and gradual renewal. Splitting brightening across morning and night lets the routine work from more than one angle — without asking one serum to do everything.

WILL IT HELP WITH MELASMA?
It may suit melasma-prone skin if your skin tolerates retinal and you're committed to daily SPF. TXA, niacinamide and retinal are well-established ingredients in pigmentation-focused skincare — but melasma is complex and often needs dermatologist-led support. If yours is diagnosed, severe, changing or hormonally triggered, please speak to a professional first. For melasma-prone skin, hats, shade and visible-light protection can matter as much as serums.

WILL IT HELP RED POST-ACNE MARKS?
It can support the look of both brown post-acne marks and the redness left after breakouts. Niacinamide and Centella help calm and support the skin, which can help the complexion look more even over time. Red marks tend to be more stubborn than brown ones and may take longer.

WILL MY SKIN PURGE?
Some people notice temporary breakouts, dryness or sensitivity as skin adjusts to retinal, especially in the first few weeks. That's exactly why the Blueprint Cards introduce the Purito serum slowly. If your skin feels uncomfortable, drop the retinal step to once or twice a week and lean on the calming, hydrating and barrier steps until it settles.

CAN I USE THIS IF I'M PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?
No. This routine contains retinal, so it isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

CAN I USE THIS WITH TRETINOIN?
No — don't layer retinal with tretinoin. They work on the same pathway, and combining them can cause significant irritation. If you use prescription retinoids, speak to your prescriber first. The cleanser, toner, Centella ampoule, moisturiser and SPF may still suit a tretinoin routine, but the Purito retinal serum should be avoided.

WHAT IF THE RETINAL SERUM IRRITATES MY SKIN?
Pause the Purito serum for a few nights and continue with the toner, Centella ampoule and moisturiser. Once your skin feels comfortable again, reintroduce it slowly — once or twice a week to start.

DO I REALLY NEED SPF EVERY DAY?
Yes — SPF is non-negotiable with this routine. UV exposure can trigger and worsen pigmentation, so without daily SPF the rest of the routine can't hold. Apply it every morning as your final step, even on cloudy days.

WHAT IF MY SKIN REACTS TO ONE OF THE OTHER PRODUCTS?
Stop that product and continue with the rest if your skin feels comfortable. Then get in touch — we'll help you work out what happened and suggest a swap if needed. See the Routine Promise above. We're not here to sell you something that doesn't work for your skin.

HOW LONG WILL THE SET LAST?
With twice-daily use, most products last around 3–4 months. The 30 ml serums may run out a little sooner. Every product is available individually, so you only reorder what you need.

HOW MUCH WOULD THESE COST INDIVIDUALLY?
£146.59 if bought separately. But the saving is only part of the point — on their own, you'd still be left working out how to layer brightening actives, retinal, barrier support and SPF without overwhelming your skin. The set gives you the products and the order to use them in.

CAN I REORDER INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTS?
Yes — every product in the routine is available on its own, so you reorder only the step that's run out.

CAN I RETURN OR EXCHANGE?
Unopened, unused products can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. If something isn't right for your skin, contact us and we'll help you work out the best next step.

INGREDIENT APPROACH
This routine supports a more even-looking tone while prioritising barrier strength, comfort and consistency. Unlike many brightening routines, it avoids vitamin C overload, harsh exfoliating acids and conflicting actives — the kind of layering that leaves skin irritated and makes pigmentation-prone skin harder to keep consistent.

It's built around TXA, niacinamide, retinal, Centella, Bifida, hydration and daily SPF. Retinal is introduced gradually and paired with calming, barrier-supporting steps, so skin is supported while you work on the look of dark spots and uneven tone. The printed Blueprint Cards show you how to build the routine in slowly, including how often to use the retinal step.

SENSITIVE SKIN NOTE
As with any new routine, patch test first — especially if your skin is sensitive, reactive or new to retinal. If you know you react to a specific ingredient, check the individual product pages before purchasing, or contact us and we'll check for you.
