  Frequently Asked Questions

Is it effective for all skin types?

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

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’s 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.

I used the dark spot correcting serum consistently for 4 weeks. It definitely reduced my dark marks and gave me a little bit of glow. Thank God it lasted for quite a while, I’d have loved to pair it with the Baobab serum. I'd definitely send in a review video and post on my page as well.

I got to the last drop with a few spots still the same. Is it possible to have permanent scarring from acne spots? Did I use it for long enough to conclude? I assume it's used periodically and not daily so that's how I used it. It helped some of my lighter spots disappear and my skin brighter in general
