Frequently Asked Questions

Is it effective for all skin types?

Yes, it is effective for all skin types including those with sensitive and acne prone.

Which products can I use it with- Uncover cleanser, other serums?

You can use our cleanser, toner, moisturizer and sunscreen along with the dark spot serum. These products will help achieve faster results as our cleanser, toner, moisturizer and sunscreen will help keep the skin pH balanced and maintain a supple skin texture to achieve optimal results.

What should you not use with the serum?

We would recommend not using the Vitamin C serum and the Blemish Control Serum on the same day as the Licorice Root Dark Spot Serum because both products contain a high percentage of actives which could irritate or sensitize skin. It is best to alternate using Vitamin C Serum on one day and then the dark spot serum the next day. With both products, it is essential to use daily sunscreen.

You may experience changes within 6 weeks of use, however results may vary.

Should the dark spot serum be used daily?

The Licorice Root Dark Spot Serum can be used three times a week and if you observe no adverse reaction, you can use it daily.

Reduces any dark spots caused by sun, acne, over use of products or hormonal change.
