At-a-Glance (Quick Read)(Is this for you?)
Feeling conscious about uneven skin tone or dark patches on your body is common. This lotion addresses that by combining proven brightening ingredients with deep hydration in a non-sticky formula suitable for daily use.
- Main Benefit: Visibly brightens and evens out skin tone, targeting post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and sun spots on the body.
- Key Ingredients: Glutathione (1,000ppm), Niacinamide (1,000ppm), Centella Asiatica Extract, Squalane, Hydrolyzed Collagen.
- Texture: A smooth, lightweight lotion that absorbs quickly without a greasy feel.
- Best for: All skin types looking to diminish the appearance of dullness, dark spots, and uneven texture on the body.
Quick Start Guide (60-second routine)(Get started in a minute)
- Cleanse: In the shower, wash your body with a gentle cleanser. Pat skin dry.
- Apply Lotion: Dispense 1-2 pumps per limb and massage into the skin, focusing on areas of concern like elbows, knees, and any dark marks.
- Protect (AM): If treated areas will be exposed to the sun, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+).
Mindful Tip: Already have a body lotion you like? Finish it first before opening a new one. Consistency with one product yields better results than switching frequently.
AM Routine Guide (morning order)(how to use in the morning)
The goal for the morning is hydration and protection, especially in the Mauritian sun.
- Cleanse: Start with a clean base from your morning shower.
- Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply the APLB lotion to your entire body or targeted areas while the skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture.
- Sunscreen: This is the most crucial step. Apply a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and high UVA protection (PA+++ or higher) to all exposed skin (arms, legs, neck, chest). This prevents new dark spots and protects the progress you've made.
PM Routine Guide (evening order)(recommended for starting)
The evening is the ideal time for your skin to repair and absorb active ingredients without interference from UV radiation.
- Cleanse: Wash away the day's sweat and grime in the shower.
- Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Generously apply the APLB lotion all over your body. The formula's active ingredients will work overnight to help even out your skin tone.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly)(Dosage and method)
- Amount: Use 1-2 pumps for arms, 2-3 pumps for legs, and 1-2 pumps for the torso. Adjust as needed based on your body size and skin's thirst.
- Apply to: Body. Focus application on areas with hyperpigmentation, such as knees, elbows, inner thighs, or old scars.
- Method: Massage in gentle, circular motions until fully absorbed.
- Frequency: Start with once daily (ideally PM) to see how your skin responds. If well-tolerated after a week, you can increase to twice daily (AM and PM).
- Important Note: The brightening effects of niacinamide and glutathione are completely undone by sun exposure. Daily use of sunscreen on exposed body parts is non-negotiable for seeing results.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives)(Build a consistent habit)
This is a gentle lotion designed for daily use. Consistency is key.
- Daily: Apply PM after showering. If using in the AM, ensure you apply sunscreen to all treated areas that will be exposed to sunlight.
-
If you use other body actives: If you use a body exfoliant (like a glycolic acid lotion), alternate nights. Do not use them in the same routine to avoid irritation. For example:
- Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun: APLB Body Lotion (PM)
- Tue/Thu/Sat: Exfoliating Body Product (PM)
- Mauritius Note: Its lightweight texture is comfortable even on humid nights. In the morning, applying sunscreen over it on your arms and legs is essential to prevent UV rays from darkening spots.
What to Expect (Results Timeline)(Patience is key)
- Immediately: Skin feels softer, hydrated, and non-greasy.
- 2–4 weeks: Skin may appear more radiant and feel smoother to the touch. Hydration levels are improved.
- 4–8+ weeks: With consistent daily use and diligent sun protection, you may start to see a visible reduction in the appearance of dark spots and a more even overall skin tone. Results vary by individual.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that)(Safer, effective choices)
This lotion uses tested ingredients like Niacinamide to gently fade dark spots over time. It's a safer, more effective choice than harsh DIY methods which can worsen the problem.
- Instead of harsh physical scrubs (sugar, coffee grounds): Use this lotion. Harsh scrubs can cause micro-tears and inflammation, leading to more hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially on skin of color.
- Instead of applying lemon juice or other DIY "bleaches": Use this lotion. Citrus juice is highly acidic and phototoxic, meaning it can cause severe burns, rashes, and permanent dark spots when exposed to the sun. This formula provides stable, effective brightening without the risk.
Skin Type Compatibility (Who is it for?)(Your skin's needs)
- Oily / Combination: Excellent. The lightweight texture absorbs well without adding greasiness.
- Normal: Ideal for daily hydration and brightening.
- Dry: Provides good hydration. During drier winter months or in heavy air-conditioning, you might want to layer a body oil on top of very dry areas like shins or elbows to seal in moisture.
- Sensitive: Generally well-tolerated, but it contains fragrance. A patch test is always recommended. The Centella Asiatica complex provides soothing benefits.
Targeted Concerns (What does it solve?)(Your skin goals)
- Uneven skin tone on the body
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks from scars or friction)

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (Use with confidence)(Before you apply)
While formulated to be gentle, it's always best practice to ensure this product is right for your skin.
- Who should use it: Adults looking to address uneven skin tone and dryness on the body.
- Who should use with caution: Those with highly sensitive skin or known allergies to fragrance should perform a patch test first. Not intended for use on the face.
-
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a small amount of lotion to a discreet area of skin, like the inner arm or behind the knee.
- Wait 24 hours to observe any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
- If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use.
- If irritation develops, discontinue use.

Sensory & Chemical Profile (The feel and facts)(Texture, scent, pH)
- Texture: A creamy but lightweight lotion.
- Finish: Absorbs into the skin leaving it feeling soft and hydrated, not sticky or greasy.
- Scent: A light, pleasant fragrance.
- pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Not considered FA-safe due to the presence of ingredients like Glyceryl Stearate and Macadamia Seed Oil. Individual responses vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues)(quick solutions)
-
Issue: The lotion feels like it's sitting on my skin.
Solution: You may be using too much. Try applying a smaller amount to slightly damp skin right after your shower to improve absorption. -
Issue: I'm not seeing any brightening results after a few weeks.
Solution: Be patient and consistent. It can take 8 weeks or more to see visible changes in hyperpigmentation. Also, ensure you are using sunscreen daily on exposed areas; without it, you are unlikely to see results. -
Issue: My skin feels a bit itchy or tingly.
Solution: This can happen if your skin barrier is compromised or if you're sensitive to an ingredient. Stop use for a few days. Reintroduce it on alternate days. If tingling persists, discontinue use.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (Local guide)(For our heat and humidity)
- Humid Summer: The lightweight, non-greasy texture is perfect for Mauritius' summer. It provides necessary hydration without feeling heavy or suffocating on the skin.
- Drier Winter/AC Exposure: If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments or find your skin gets drier in winter, this lotion provides a good base of hydration. For very dry patches, you can layer a body oil on top at night.
- Sun Exposure: This is a critical point. If using this lotion in the AM on your arms, legs, or chest, you MUST follow up with a high-PA sunscreen. Brightening treatments and the Mauritian sun do not mix without protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)(Common queries)
Can I use this on my face?
This product was formulated and tested for the skin on the body, which is generally thicker and less sensitive than facial skin. It also contains fragrance, which can be irritating on the face. We recommend using a dedicated facial serum or moisturizer instead.
Will this lotion make my skin color lighter?
No. The "brightening" ingredients in this lotion work to fade hyperpigmentation (dark spots) and even out your overall skin tone for improved radiance. It will not bleach or change your natural, inherent skin color.
How long until I see results for dark knees/elbows?
These areas have thicker skin and are subject to more friction, so results can take longer. Consistent use (once or twice daily) for at least 2-3 months, combined with sun protection, is needed to see a visible difference.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance)(Is it worth it?)
The APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Body Lotion is a well-formulated product for anyone looking to tackle uneven skin tone and dryness on their body. Its elegant, non-sticky texture makes it a pleasure to use daily, especially in a humid climate.
- Best For: Individuals with concerns about hyperpigmentation, sun spots, or dullness on their body.
- Key Benefits: Brightens and evens skin tone, provides lightweight hydration, absorbs quickly without residue.
- Keep in Mind: It contains fragrance, which may not suit highly sensitive skin. It is not vegan. For results to show and last, daily use of sunscreen on exposed body parts is absolutely essential.
