Milk Marvel Dark Spot Serum.

"This formula uses niacinamide just under 3%, a strong licorice base, and two forms of very gentle vitamin C including 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, which is non-irritating, unlike L-ascorbic acid. [...] You get anti-inflammatory effects from magnolia bark, enzymatic exfoliation from pineapple and papaya, [...] and a phytosterol system that supports the barrier. On pigmentation it's a softer, gentler pathway, not aggressive, though the [...] licorice root is at a lower dose. [...] It's genuinely naife safe and truly fragrance-free. The packaging is a dropper, adequate but [...] an airless pump would have been preferred to keep the vitamin C stable. At $48, it works, but it's slow and safe."

"EADEM is a brand that focuses on skin care that works on all skin tones, that refuses the narrative that lighter skin is what you want to approach, and their dark spot serum is marketed as effective yet non-irritating, and it really is very, very gentle. But the real question is, does this gentleness come at the cost of real visible results, especially on more mature skin where hyperpigmentation can be hard to fade? [...] EADEM claims that their product will reduce different forms of hyperpigmentation while being very gentle on the skin and without lightening the overall skin tone. The latter is very important if you have a deeper skin tone and just want your skin to look more even, not lighter. The product comes in a frosted glass bottle with a pipet which works well enough to distribute the three to four drops that you actually need for your face and neck. It has a lotiony texture like a milky lotion that spreads easily. It has some moderate tackiness especially directly after you applied it that subsides after one to two minutes but it is noticeable. There is no real scent, this is an unscented product. I sometimes get a whiff of something earthy but very very faint, you have to sniff it very closely to be able to detect that. Three to four drops is enough especially when you apply it on damp skin which helps with the spreading and the absorption, so I reckon the bottle will last you quite a while."
