Pigmentation & Dark Spots

How should I incorporate Dark Spot Treatment patches into my skincare routine?

Updated 1. January 2024

Immediate Answer: Apply Dark Spot Treatment patches after cleansing, then follow with your regular serum, moisturiser, and SPF on the rest of the face, leave patches on for 2-8+ hours.

The Science: Absorption works best when:

  1. Skin is clean (no debris blocking penetration)
  2. Patch sits directly on clean skin (not over other products)
  3. You wait 2+ hours minimum before removing the patch
  4. You use your moisturiser as normal on the rest of the face.

The patch needs to sit on clean skin for a minimum of 2 hours. While the patch is working, you can apply moisturiser or serum to the rest of your face where you don't have a patch.

How to Apply Patches: Step-by-step routine:

Evening:

  1. Cleanse with Gentle Cleansing Foam
  2. Pat skin dry
  3. Apply Dark Spot Treatment patch directly to target area
  4. Leave patch on for minimum 2 hours (overnight is ideal—8+ hours)
  5. While patch is working: apply Power Glow Serum and Advanced Face Repair to the rest of your face
  6. Remove patch in the morning, cleanse, and apply SPF before sun exposure

Daytime application:

  • Cleanse → Apply Dark Spot Treatment patches → Leave on for minimum 2 hours → Remove patch → Cleanse → SPF before sun exposure

Pro Tip: Overnight use gives the best results because your skin gets maximum time to absorb the serum undisturbed. But patches can be used any time of day—just make sure they have at least 2 hours to work.
