Questions

How long until dark spots fade?
Brightening is gradual and depends on the spot and on daily sunscreen use. Give it several weeks of consistent use, morning and night.

Can I use it with vitamin C?
Yes, many routines combine them. If your skin feels irritated, use vitamin C in the morning and this serum at night.

Niacinamide + TXA or azelaic acid?
This serum focuses on dark spots and tone; the Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum focuses on redness and blemishes. For acne marks with redness, some people use both, introduced one at a time.

How long does delivery take in Egypt?
Delivery takes 3–7 business days, depending on your area.
