How to fade dark spots
Dark spots are treatable. Many people just haven't found the right combination yet.
Uneven skin tone has different causes (sun damage, old acne marks, hormonal changes) and one ingredient doesn't cover all of them.
The approach that works uses multiple ingredients that fade existing spots, prevent new ones, and protect against the triggers.
And these are ingredients with the strongest evidence: alpha arbutin, kojic acid, vitamin C, glycolic acid, and retinoids. Used together, they cover every angle.

Better than retinol
Moonlight Retinal Super Serum
$47.95
Powerful anti-aging results, without the prescription. Many retinoids cause redness and peeling before you see results. Moonlight is powered by retinaldehyde (aka retinal), which converts faster in skin, and you get the benefit with less irritation.
The retinoid worth switching to. If you've been using retinol and feeling unimpressed, or avoided retinoids entirely because of past irritation, this is the upgrade.
