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’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.

How is it different from the Baobab Glow C Serum?

The Baobab Glow C Serum contains Vitamin C and Beta Arbutin which are not found in the dark spot serum. The Dark Spot Serum contains Alpha Arbutin. However, both products play a role in reducing discoloration on the skin.

When can I expect to see results?

Results are expected from consistent use of product along with sunscreen for a minimum of 2 weeks.

Can I use the product just on the area of concern?

Yes, you can choose to use it on the area of concern and not the entire face.
