Topicals Faded Brightening & Clearing Serum — 1.7 fl oz, Kojic Acid + Niacinamide for Dark Spots and Even Tone

Topicals Faded Brightening and Clearing Serum is a dermatologist-tested, daily-use serum formulated to visibly reduce post-blemish marks, dark spots, scars, and uneven discoloration across all skin tones.

This lightweight serum blends kojic acid, niacinamide, azelaic acid derivatives, and antioxidants to target hyperpigmentation and promote a more even-looking complexion. Designed for gentle, progressive results, Faded works for people with diverse skin shades and can be introduced gradually into a daily routine. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without dyes.

How quickly will I see results with this brightening serum?

Many users report visible improvement in tone and spot fading within about two weeks, though individual timelines vary based on severity and consistency. Start slowly—once-weekly applications can build up to daily use to minimize irritation while still delivering measurable change over weeks.

• Visible improvements often noticed in ~2 weeks with consistent use
• Begin with once-weekly application, increase to daily as tolerated
• Sun protection recommended during daytime use to protect results

Is this serum safe for darker skin tones and sensitive skin?

Faded is formulated to be suitable for all ethnicities and skin tones; it avoids harsh bleaching agents and focuses on ingredients known to be broadly tolerated. Because active brightening ingredients can sensitize skin, patch testing and a gradual introduction help prevent irritation.

• Formulated for all skin shades without bleaching agents
• Contains anti-inflammatory ingredients to reduce flare risk
• Patch test recommended; start with weekly use if skin is sensitive

Which ingredients make this serum effective against discoloration?

The formula combines kojic acid and niacinamide to inhibit excess pigment production and even skin tone, while azelaic acid derivatives and antioxidants calm inflammation that can worsen marks. These actives work together to refine pores and reduce the look of dark spots without relying on harsh exfoliants.

• Kojic acid: helps reduce visible pigmentation production
• Niacinamide: evens tone and supports the skin barrier
• Azelaic acid derivatives and antioxidants: soothe inflammation and refine texture

How do I add this serum to my skincare routine?

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and massage until absorbed. Introduce the serum gradually—once a week at first, then increase frequency as tolerated—and pair it with daily sunscreen to protect treated skin and maintain results.

• Use on clean, dry skin; massage until absorbed
• Start weekly, build to daily application as tolerated
• Follow with moisturizer; always wear SPF during daytime
