Manjistha Spot Lightening Cream

"Many pigmentation creams use harsh bleaching agents that damage the skin barrier. I created the Manjistha Spot Lightening Cream to work differently.

It uses Lactic & Glycolic Acids to gently exfoliate the dark, dead skin cells on the surface, while Manjistha & Licorice work underneath to inhibit excess melanin production.

It reveals brighter skin without thinning it. Important: Because it contains natural AHAs that reveal fresh skin, always use sunscreen the next morning."

How is this different from regular fairness creams?

Unlike commercial fairness creams that use harsh bleaches to chemically strip your skin color, this cream uses Tyrosinase Inhibitors. Ingredients like Manjistha and Licorice naturally tell your skin to stop over-producing melanin (pigment) in specific dark spots, while Lactic Acid gently lifts away the already darkened dead skin cells. It brightens your skin tone; it doesn't bleach it white.

Will it stain my pillow covers or clothes?

Because we use Real Manjistha (Rubia Cordifolia) and Turmeric extracts—not just transparent chemical extracts—the cream has a rich, natural yellow/orange tint. We recommend massaging it in fully 30 minutes before sleep and using older pillowcases or dark linens just to be safe. The stain is proof of purity!

What is pigmentation caused by?

Skin pigmentation is a common condition that can be triggered by various factors. The three leading causes of skin pigmentation are genetics, sun exposure, and particular medications.

Why can I only use this at night?

This cream contains active Glycolic and Lactic Acids (AHAs). These natural exfoliants reveal fresh, baby-soft skin that is sensitive to sunlight. Using it during the day could reverse the results. Always apply it as the last step in your PM routine and must wear sunscreen the next morning.

My skin started breaking out after using it. Is this normal?

This is likely a "Skin Purge," not a breakout. Because Manjistha is a powerful detoxifier and Glycolic Acid speeds up cell turnover, trapped congestion (pimples) may rise to the surface faster than usual. This is a good sign! It typically clears up within 2-3 weeks, revealing much clearer skin underneath.

How long until I see my dark spots fade?

Pigmentation is stubborn. While you will notice a "morning glow" within the first week due to the hydration, visible fading of deep dark spots typically takes 4 to 6 weeks of consistent nightly use. It is a biological process of cell turnover, not magic.

Can I use this with my Retinol or Vitamin C serum?

We recommend not mixing this with Retinol or strong Vitamin C in the same routine, as this cream already contains active exfoliants (AHAs). Using too many actives can damage your skin barrier. Use your Vitamin C in the morning and this Manjistha Cream at night.
