Uneven tone

Uneven tone and dark spots are a pigment problem, and pigment responds to patience rather than strength. Vitamin C, niacinamide and kojic acid are what this part of the range is built on.

The most direct route is the Dark Spot Routine Duo, two products built around vitamin C and meant to be used together. If you prefer to assemble it yourself, the Vitamin C Serum is the same active on its own, and the Pigment Perfecting Serum is the lighter-textured alternative with vitamin E and hyaluronic acid.

Niacinamide works differently and layers happily with either — the Niacinamide Gel Moisturizer puts 5% of it into the moisturizer step, so it costs nothing extra in time. The Brightening Face & Body Exfoliator with Kojic Acid comes at it from the surface instead, and works on the body as well as the face, which matters if the spots you are treating are on shoulders or hands.

One thing worth saying plainly: daily sunscreen does more for uneven tone than any of these. Without it, pigment work is uphill.
