Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all—it’s feather-light, fast-absorbing, and layers perfectly under cream or SPF.

Three actives: niacinamide to help even tone and support the skin barrier, mandelic acid for gentle exfoliation, and azelaic acid to help fade the look of dark marks.

It can help the look of dark marks left after breakouts and uneven, sun-related discoloration, thanks to niacinamide, mandelic acid and azelaic acid. It won't change raised or indented scars, so wear SPF daily to help prevent new dark marks.

Yes, but introduce actives one at a time. If you also use retinol or an AHA/BHA exfoliant, use them on alternate evenings at first and stop if you notice irritation. Always wear SPF in the day.

It's listed as suitable for sensitive skin, and mandelic acid is a gentler exfoliating acid. Because it contains acids, patch test first and start once daily; check the full ingredient list if you avoid specific ingredients such as fragrance.

It depends on how much you use. You only need 2–3 drops per application, once or twice daily.

Helped Brighten My Skin and Fade Dark Spots ✨

I’ve been dealing with uneven skin tone and dark marks for years, and this serum has honestly made such a difference. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel sticky at all. After about three weeks, I noticed my skin looked brighter and some of my spots started to fade. My overall tone looks more even and healthy now. It’s become my favorite step in my skincare routine — my skin just looks more alive every morning.

Gentle glow in a bottle

I was skeptical about serums because so many I tried before either irritated my skin or didn’t do much. This Radiance Serum feels different — light, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t sting. After about three weeks, I noticed my skin texture felt smoother and my face looked brighter in photos (without makeup!). It just feels good to use.
