These ingredients should never be in your melanin skincare routine and here is why?

Phototype: Phototype V (Brown skin. Dark brown to black hair. Dark brown or green eyes. Tans darkly easily)

Skin concern: Bumps Under Skin, Acne, Dull Skin

Skin Type: Combination

Age: 25 to 39

Great evening routine

Great product to add to the every other day routine. It helps with dullness and just a great addition to the post-cleansing evening routine.

Skin concern: Hyperpigmentation, Melasma, Dark Circle Under Eyes

To be clear: Exfoliant Mask

It feels as if the gunk is being drawn out of your face and leaves your skin feeling softer. It has had some impact on the level of hyperpigmentation.

Phototype: Phototype VI (Dark brown to black skin. Black hair. Dark brown or black eyes. Always tans darkly)

Skin concern: Hyperpigmentation

Age: 40 to 60

Brightening

Promising results so far.

Skin concern: Hyperpigmentation, Dark Spots, Uneven Skin

Age: Above 60 years old

Slight improvement / early days.

The product has a pleasant smell and easy to apply as it absorbs fairly quickly. Having a bespoke product gives a sense of assurance. I intend to carry on using it as I understand it will take a while longer to see substantial results.
