Uneven tone and dark marks
Dark marks are extra melanin in one spot, often left behind after a blemish or sun exposure. They fade slowly on their own. Ingredients that slow melanin production speed the fade without bleaching.

The chemistry
What is actually happening?
The chemistry: Niacinamide blocks the transfer of melanin to the top layer of skin. Alpha-Arbutin quietly inhibits the enzyme that makes melanin. Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Glucoside) does both, and adds antioxidant support. Sunscreen is non-negotiable, or the mark comes back.
