Dark spots don’t form one way so targeting just one thing won’t fix them.

De-Spot works at every stage of how dark spots form: before pigment starts, while it’s being made, as it rises to the surface, and after—calming the inflammation that keeps discoloration coming back.

Our Offense–Defense Skincare™ system makes this possible. Powerful ingredients correct. Onsen Water and soothing ingredients protect so you get results without irritation.

The result: luminous, polished skin. Bright, even, effortlessly clear.

For best results, apply De-Spot morning and night after cleansing, before moisturizer.

Targeted Correction (Offense)

  • Fades stubborn dark spots
    Tranexamic acid—targets pigment at the source.
  • Clears post-acne marks and evens complexion
    Azelaic acid—calms redness while brightening.
  • Refines tone, texture, and pores
    Niacinamide—stops pigment from reaching the surface.

Three types. Three levels.



Skin Protection (Defense)

  • Hydrates and soothes
    Ushio Onsen Water—mineral-rich Japanese hot spring water.
  • Locks in moisture
    Squalane—lightweight, never heavy.
  • Keeps skin calm
    Vitamin E—protects while the actives work.

Brightening doesn’t work if your skin can’t tolerate it.

Most brightening serums make you choose: push hard and irritate your skin, or go gentle and wait forever for results.

De-Spot does both. Four stages of correction. Barrier protection built in.

Results that build without the setbacks.

  • Stubborn dark spots that won’t fade
  • Post-acne marks (PIH & PIE)
  • Visible pores and uneven texture
  • Sensitive, acne-prone skin that reacts to harsh brightening

For best results, apply De-Spot morning and night as your treatment step, after cleansing and before moisturizer.

Apply

Under eyes
