"Dark spots are a common skin concern that can make you appear older than your years. We won't lie: it’s very, very difficult to erase dark facial spots with skincare products alone, but this treatment from Ondo Beauty 36.5 will give you a helping hand combatting and preventing those pesky blemishes thanks to its formula with 10% active ingredients.

Its effective vegan formula contains ingredients scientifically proven to depigment dark spots, including 2.2% tranexamic acid, 3.8% niacinamide (our beauty fave), 3.5% arbutin, 0.5% bisabolol and liquorice extract. This combination is amazing at controlling the skin's melanin production, which is responsible for visibly darkening the skin in some areas. It works in different phases of the dark spot development, from the first barely-there shadows (the kind only you can see because you know your own skin) to visible blemishes. In other words, its active ingredients are a dream team when it comes to preventing and correcting skin pigmentation.

Not only does this cream treat hyperpigmentation due to photoageing (great for restoring a radiant complexion after too much sun exposure in summer), but it’s also super effective when it comes to making those pesky dark spots disappear. However, you need to use the treatment consistently to see its effects and will realistically start seeing the results after 8-12 weeks. Check out the ""How to use"" tab to get the most out of it!

It has a light emulsion texture - don't worry if products tend to feel heavy on your oily skin; you won't have this problem with Tranexamic & Licorice Dark Spot Treatment. You can use it on your face as well as on other problem areas of your body, such as dark spots on your hands, neck, décolleté, back or arms.

Thanks to its super ingredients, adding Tranexamic Acid & Licorice Dark Spot Treatment to your routine will be a sure hit for photo-aged skin with hyperpigmentation, as well as an extra post-summer treat to prevent dark spots in all skin types, as it’s dermatologically tested on sensitive skin. Yay!"

Did you know that you can also use Tranexamic & Licorice Dark Spot Treatment on other body parts with hyperpigmentation? That’s why we love it!

This product is compatible with most ingredients in your routine, except for retinol or high-concentration acids. We recommend alternating this treatment with your retinol or high-concentration acid products (i.e. using them every other day instead of applying them in the same routine).

Some tips:

If your skin has hyperpigmentation spots from the sun, apply after your morning and evening cleanse, ideally following an antioxidant serum such as Meisani Glow Drops Vitamin C Serum, to boost its effectiveness. If your dark spots are due to pimples, apply after the antioxidant serum and before your usual moisturiser. You can apply it over your whole face or focus only on the most problematic areas.
