For the spots that survived everything else.
A nightly spot treatment that stacks four pigment pathways: LTN Complex (tranexamic acid, niacinamide, lotus sprout), glycolic acid, 0.25% retinol, and a kojic acid derivative. Built for the stubborn marks left by acne and sun that a brightening serum alone will not shift. Hydroquinone-free.
RESULTS:
Visibly fades stubborn dark spots
Speeds turnover of pigmented surface cells
Evens tone around old acne marks and sun spots
Smooths texture where spots sit
Safe for long-term use without hydroquinone
A spot booster, used on the spot, alongside your all-over brightener
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT:
Hydroquinone works but carries rebound and long-term-use concerns. Single-ingredient brighteners are too gentle for the darkest marks.
This cream combines pigment-blocking actives (tranexamic acid, niacinamide, kojic) with two exfoliants (glycolic acid, retinol) so pigment is both suppressed and moved out faster. Applied only where needed.
HOW IT WORKS:
Tranexamic acid → interrupts the signal that tells melanocytes to make pigment
Niacinamide → blocks pigment transfer to surface cells; calms
Lotus sprout extract → addresses discoloration
Glycolic acid → exfoliates pigmented cells, supports renewal
Retinol 0.25% → accelerates turnover and smooths
Kojic acid derivative → lightens visible sun damage
WHY CLIENTS USE IT:
Post-acne dark marks
Sun spots and age spots
Melasma patches, with practitioner guidance
Spots that did not fully respond to a brightening serum
Maintenance after in-clinic pigment treatments
