The problem it solves
Why this step exists, and what it changes.
The spots that came with the years, on your cheeks, forehead and temples, make skin look older than you feel, and concealer only hides them until you wash it off. Most brightening serums are a general glow with a little something for spots. Spot Fade Serum is built around one job: fading the dark spots and patchy tone that years of daylight left behind.
How it works on the skin
Dark spots are patches where skin makes too much pigment. Alpha-arbutin slows the process that makes it, so as your skin renews, the spots fade towards the rest of your tone. Sodium PCA, two weights of hyaluronic acid and Bidens pilosa keep skin hydrated and comfortable while it works. Sunscreen every morning stops new spots replacing the ones you are fading.
What is in it
- Alpha-ArbutinThe spot-fading ingredient. It slows the pigment that builds up into dark spots, so they fade towards your natural tone.
- Bidens PilosaA plant extract, also in our Renewal Serum, that keeps skin smooth and comfortable while the arbutin works.
- Hyaluronic AcidTwo weights, hydrolyzed and sodium hyaluronate, that hold water in the surface so skin looks plump, not dry.
- Sodium PCAPart of the skin's own natural moisturizing factor. Holds water at the surface.
- Ecocert COSMOS Natural certified
- Vegan

How to use it
- 01Once a day, on clean skin: one pump onto your fingertips.
- 02Press it over face and neck, a little more over the spots, and let it sink in before your moisturizer.
- 03Sunscreen every morning, whichever time of day you use it. Our pick is EltaMD UV Restore Tinted SPF 40.
- How often
- Evening
- Where in the routine
- After cleansing, before moisturizer. Once a day.
Who it is for. And who it is not.
Buy it if
- Sun spots or age spots have appeared and stayed, and concealer is the only thing that touches them.
- Your tone looks patchy in daylight and in photos, older than you feel.
- You wear sunscreen every morning, or you are ready to start.
Skip it if
- Fragrance, essential oils or vitamin E set your skin off. This serum has a woody scent, four essential oils including lemon peel, and vitamin E. Tone Support Serum is the fragrance-free serum for uneven tone.
- Your skin looks dull and tired rather than spotted. Brighten Serum is the vitamin C serum for that.
- Fine lines, not spots, are what you want gone. Renewal Serum is the one for lines.
- You will not wear sunscreen in the morning. Fading spots while daylight makes new ones cancels the work.
