Pigmentation & Dark Spots
When should I use Dark Spot Treatment patches—morning or evening?
Immediate Answer: You can use patches any time—morning or evening. Patches need to stay on for a minimum of 2 hours to work effectively; overnight (8+ hours) is ideal. Always apply SPF before sun exposure after removing a patch.
The Science: The active ingredients need time to penetrate and work. A minimum of 2 hours gives good results—overnight gives maximum effect. The advantage of overnight use is that your skin is undisturbed, natural repair processes are active, and there are no interruptions.
When to Apply Patches: Overnight (recommended):
- Cleanse → Apply Dark Spot Treatment patches → Apply moisturiser on rest of the face - Sleep 8+ hours → Remove patch in morning → Cleanse → Moisturiser with SPF
- Pros: Maximum absorption time, no interruptions, convenient
Daytime:
- Cleanse → Apply Dark Spot Treatment patches → Leave on for minimum 2 hours → Remove patch → Cleanse → SPF before sun exposure
- Pros: Flexible if evenings don't suit your routine
Pro Tip: Always apply SPF before going out in the sun after removing a patch.
