DoesClinical Discoloration Repair Serum replace other products I use for dark spots and blemishes?

Not necessarily. In fact, most will find it complements their current routine because it can easily be used with ingredients such as retinol, niacinamide, vitamin C and azelaic acid (to name a few). Adding it to your current routine will take your nighttime routine to the next level and help maximise results. To properly address hyperpigmentation spots, a holistic approach is required, so gentle cleansing, exfoliation, daily sunscreen and nightly moisturisers are also key.

WillClinical Discoloration Repair Serum work on all different types of spots quickly? For example, past acne marks versus melasma?

The fastest results will be seen on red or pink post-acne marks. To see visible results on brown, grey or black hyperpigmentation spots (these are particularly stubborn) will take a little longer. As with all skin care products, results may vary. Regardless of the cause of the discolouration, the general time period needed to see results is 8-12 weeks of daily use. Remember that continuous use is necessary to maintain results.

Is there any form of hyperpigmentation that Clinical Discoloration Repair Serum does not target?

Clinical Discoloration Repair Serum will not address hypopigmentation (loss of pigment). Lack of pigment can be caused by a variety of things and can be very difficult to get rid of. People affected by this condition should be diagnosed by a dermatologist or physician and treated accordingly. For stubborn topical discolourations, outpatient procedures may be required and may be recommended by your dermatologist or physician.

Who is Clinical Discoloration Repair Serum for?

This discolouration corrector serum is perfect for anyone who wants to restore the natural tone and evenness of their skin. It is particularly good for those who have tried traditional ingredients to fade hyperpigmentation but did not get visible results.

Can make-up, other serums or moisturisers be applied after Clinical Discoloration Repair Serum?

Yes, this depigmenting serum has a light texture and blends into the skin perfectly. It combines very well with other products and ingredients, making it easy to apply several layers.

If I stop using Clinical Discoloration Repair Serum will the dark spots return?

Most likely yes. Although continuous use is recommended to maintain results, some people will find that simply applying a sunscreen daily and avoiding the sun as much as possible will prevent dark spots from reappearing. However, if you are dealing with melasma (a hormonal spot), it is almost certain that if you stop using any depigmenting treatment or even a product that evens out skin tone, you will cause a relapse, so continued use is especially important in this case.

Can I use Clinical Discoloration Repair Serum if I don't have dark spots?

Absolutely yes! This product was formulated for those struggling with stubborn dark spots, sun spots, post-acne marks and even skin tone. By using Clinical Discoloration Serum from the start, you will help protect the skin and prevent future dark spots from forming. For many of us, spots are already present on the skin and will start to appear later in life or when the skin is repeatedly exposed to different environmental factors.

WillClinical Discoloration Repair Serum make my skin more sensitive to the sun?

No, it is not a photo-sensitising product. However, we do recommend limiting sun exposure because when your main goal is to minimise spots, it is important to be sun smart. We recommend avoiding the sun as much as possible, applying sunscreen daily and using hats, sunglasses and a good umbrella at the beach, whether you use our depigmentation serum or not.
