Pigmentation & Dark Spots

How does the Dark Spot Treatment work?

Updated 1. January 2024

Immediate Answer: Each patch contains 225 micro needles of serum — the serum itself is cast into fine, pointed shapes that press into the upper skin layers and dissolve, releasing 9 active ingredients deeper than a conventional serum can reach.

The Science: The microneedles are not metal needles—they are the active serum pressed into pointed form, just 0.5mm tall and completely painless. When the patch is applied to skin, the tips dissolve gradually, releasing ingredients near the layers where melanin production occurs. The ingredients target melanin production through multiple mechanisms:

  • Kojic acid inhibits tyrosinase (participates in melanin control)
  • Tranexamic acid blocks plasmin (helps reduce inflammation-triggered melanin)
  • Vitamin C brightens through antioxidant action
  • Niacinamide helps reduce melanin transfer to skin cells
  • Combined effect: melanin production slows while existing pigment sheds faster

What Makes Nordic Formula Stand Out: It is the unique formulation—the combination of nine active ingredients and the microneedle technology—that makes the dark spots disappear. The result is a treatment that works deeper and faster than serums applied to the surface.

Pro Tip: Use patches overnight. While you sleep, your skin has time to absorb the full serum without interruption—and your skin's natural repair processes amplify the effect of the active ingredients.
