Pigmentation & Dark Spots

Are Dark Spot Treatment patches suitable for all skin types?

Updated 1. January 2024

Immediate Answer: Yes. The Dark Spot Treatment formula is designed to be effective yet gentle, making it suitable for all skin types—dry, oily, combination, and sensitive included.

The Science: The formula contains:

  • Humectants (draw moisture) for dry skin
  • Balancing ingredients (niacinamide) for oily skin
  • Soothing ingredients for sensitive skin
  • Non-comedogenic formula so it won't clog pores

The microneedle delivery is skin-type agnostic—it works the same on fair, medium, and deep skin tones. Pigmentation fading mechanisms work identically across skin types.

How to Use Patches for Your Skin Type:

  • Dry skin: Patches pair beautifully with hydrating serums and rich moisturisers
  • Oily skin: Lightweight serum + patches + lightweight moisturiser helps prevent congestion
  • Sensitive skin: Start with patches 1-2x weekly (not 3x), build tolerance gradually
  • Deep skin tones: Same efficacy; results may be more visible (fading appears as lightening on deeper tones vs. complete clearing on lighter tones)

Pro Tip: If you have very sensitive skin, start conservatively (1x weekly) and increase frequency as your skin tolerates. Sensitivity is usually from over-use, not the product being unsuitable for your skin type.
