Description

Fading dark spots requires more than one ingredient, it requires a system. This routine combines targeted pigmentation treatment with daily barrier support, antioxidant protection and overnight renewal to address pigmentation at every stage of the day. Developed by Dr Munir Somji and the Dr MediSpa clinical team.

The Steps

Step 1 — Nourishing Cream Cleanser (AM & PM): Protects the skin barrier — essential when using brightening actives. 100% agreed skin felt cleansed but not stripped.

Step 2 — Anti-Dark Spot Concentrate (AM & PM, to areas of pigmentation): Swiss Cress Extract and Alpha-Arbutin interrupt the melanin cascade at two steps. 77% reported more even skin tone after 6 weeks.

Step 3 — Signature Serum (AM & PM): SOM1X®, Green Tangerine Exosomes from Jeju Island and Ceramides. Strengthens the barrier and amplifies the Concentrate.

Step 4 — Vitamin C Daily Defence SPF30 (AM only): The most important step in any brightening routine — UV is the primary trigger for new pigmentation. 100% said skin felt hydrated.

Step 5 — Night Recovery Cream (PM only): Encapsulated Retinol and SOM1X® overnight. 97% reported deeply hydrated, smooth skin on waking.

The Result

Week 1–2: Skin texture improves. Feels more comfortable and hydrated.

Week 3–4: Skin tone starts to look more even.

Week 6–8: Visible reduction in dark spots.

Week 8–12: More significant clearing as cell turnover accumulates. Consistency is everything.
