Your Step-By-Step Guide To Applying Your Product
- In the morning, start by cleansing your skin.
- You could use one of the Cleansers from The Ordinary or NIOD.
- Then, apply 2/3 drops of Alpha Arbutin. Massage or pat into your skin until it is fully absorbed.
- Do the same with Niacinamide. Be careful – too much and it will foam.
- Finally, add your SPF. You could also add one of The Ordinary Moisturizers before the SPF.
- Follow the same rules for your evening routine using alpha arbutin, ascorbyl glucoside and azelaic acid.

- Sunspots can occur anywhere the sun hits the skin
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation follows acne, leaving dark spots.

Please be aware that The Ordinary states that their products are not for Melasma, and you should consult with a specialist. If it is possible, I highly recommend speaking to a dermatologist who can prescribe you a mix of fabulous ingredients to really help the pigmentation. It´s crucial to invest in a good sun cream, a fabulous hat and avoid the direct sun whenever you can.
