Perfect for your morning routine. You need this because you can’t use the exfoliating toners during the day. Use a gentle toner instead and this one is really good

You cannot treat hyperpigmentation without key ingredients like Alpha Arbutin. It will help fare those dark patches, dark spots and pigments. I recommend this for night routine only

Introduce this slowly into your routine so it doesn’t irritate your skin, start with once a week then twice. Don’t use any other actives when using this and use at night only. Use the sandwich method if you’re a beginner. I.e use a moisturiser first ...
