Its lightweight texture absorbs quickly, delivering a concentrated dose of vitamins and nutrients to fight free radicals, fade dark spots, and leave your complexion looking luminous and healthy. Perfect for Mauritius' sunny climate, it provides an essential antioxidant shield to protect and rejuvenate your skin.

• Who It's For: Anyone struggling with dullness, uneven skin tone, dark spots (post-acne marks), or tired-looking skin. Especially beneficial for those living in urban or high-UV environments like Mauritius.

Integrate this serum into your routine effortlessly:

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. Apply Serum: Dispense 2-3 drops of the Black Yuja Bean Serum and gently pat onto your skin until absorbed.
3. Protect/Moisturise: Follow with your favourite sunscreen in the morning or a moisturiser in the evening.

Mindful Tip: Already own a similar brightening serum? Finish it first to prevent waste and give your skin a consistent treatment.

A morning routine focused on protection and glow:

• Step 1: Cleanse
  Wash your face with a gentle, hydrating cleanser.
• Step 2: Tone (Optional)
  Apply a hydrating toner to prep your skin and enhance serum absorption.
• Step 3: HEVEBLUE Black Yuja Bean Serum
  Apply 2-3 drops to provide antioxidant protection against daily environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution.
• Step 4: Sunscreen
  Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) to protect your skin and the serum's brightening results. In Mauritius' climate, a lightweight sunscreen may provide enough moisture, allowing you to skip a separate moisturiser.

Wait Times: Allow 30-60 seconds between each step for optimal absorption, and wait 1-2 minutes after the serum before applying sunscreen.

An evening routine focused on repair and brightening:

• Step 1: Double Cleanse
  Start with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser to purify the skin.
• Step 2: Tone (Optional)
  Apply a toner to balance your skin's pH and add a layer of hydration.
• Step 3: HEVEBLUE Black Yuja Bean Serum
  Apply 2-3 drops to help repair daily damage and work on fading hyperpigmentation overnight.
• Step 4: Moisturiser
  Lock in the serum and hydrate your skin with a nourishing moisturiser suitable for your skin type.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest consistency (toner) to the thickest (moisturiser).

Daily Use — AM & PM:

• Amount: 2–3 drops is sufficient for the entire face.
• Apply to: A clean face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
• Method: Dispense onto fingertips, gently smooth over the skin, and then lightly pat until fully absorbed.
• Frequency: Start once daily (preferably PM) for the first week to assess tolerance. If your skin is happy, increase to twice daily (AM and PM).

If-This / Then-That:

• If your T-zone is very oily: Use a slightly smaller amount and ensure your morning moisturiser or sunscreen is oil-free.
• If your skin feels dry (especially in air-conditioning): Layer this serum over a hydrating toner and follow with a richer moisturiser at night.
• If you have sensitive skin: Start by using it PM-only every other day for 1-2 weeks before increasing frequency. Always patch test first.
• If you use other strong actives (Retinoids, AHAs/BHAs): Alternate nights. Do not use this serum on the same night as a strong exfoliant or retinoid to avoid potential irritation.

This serum is designed for daily use, but here’s how to schedule it if you also use other active ingredients.

Example Weekly PM Routine:

• Monday: HEVEBLUE Serum
• Tuesday: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) Night
• Wednesday: HEVEBLUE Serum
• Thursday: Retinoid Night
• Friday: HEVEBLUE Serum
• Saturday: Soothing/Hydrating Night (no strong actives)
• Sunday: HEVEBLUE Serum

Key Rules:

• AM Routine: You can use this serum every morning, followed by sunscreen.
• PM Routine: On nights you use a strong exfoliant (like Glycolic Acid) or a retinoid, it's best to skip this Vitamin C-rich serum to prevent potential irritation. On those nights, focus on hydration and barrier support.

Skincare is a journey, and consistency is key. Here’s a realistic timeline for this serum:

• Immediately: Skin feels hydrated and may have a subtle, healthy sheen. The lightweight texture absorbs without stickiness.
• After 2-4 Weeks: You may notice your overall complexion looks brighter and less dull. Skin texture can feel smoother.
• After 8+ Weeks: With consistent daily use (especially with diligent sun protection), you should see a visible reduction in the appearance of dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven skin tone. Skin appears more radiant and even.

Note: Individual results vary. Sunscreen is crucial to see and maintain brightening results.

Myth: "Applying pure lemon juice is a great natural way to fade dark spots."

Truth: While lemons contain Vitamin C, the juice is highly acidic (pH ~2) and unstable. Applying it directly can irritate the skin, damage your moisture barrier, and even cause chemical burns. Worse, if exposed to sunlight, it can lead to phytophotodermatitis—a severe reaction that causes blistering and can leave behind *more* hyperpigmentation.

Why This is a Better Choice: The HEVEBLUE serum delivers Vitamin C from Yuja extract in a stable, pH-balanced formula that is safe for your skin. It provides the brightening benefits without the high risk of irritation and sun-sensitivity associated with DIY citrus remedies, ensuring you fade dark spots safely and effectively.

• ✅ Works Well With:
  • Sunscreen: Essential. Using this antioxidant serum under sunscreen boosts your protection against environmental damage.
  • Niacinamide: A great pairing for targeting pores, oiliness, and pigmentation from multiple angles.
  • Hyaluronic Acid & Snail Mucin: Excellent for adding layers of hydration without conflict.
  • Soothing Ingredients: Centella Asiatica, Panthenol, and Ceramides can be used alongside to keep skin calm and supported.
• ⚠️ Use with Caution:
  • AHAs/BHAs & Retinoids: Avoid using this serum in the *same routine* (e.g., same night) as high-strength exfoliants or retinoids. The combination of potent actives can increase the risk of irritation. It's safer to alternate their use (e.g., Vitamin C in the AM, Retinoid in the PM, or on different nights).

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula provides antioxidant benefits and helps manage post-acne marks without adding heaviness.
• Normal Skin: A perfect fit for maintaining a healthy glow and providing daily environmental protection.
• Dry Skin: Very suitable. It adds a layer of brightening and protection. Be sure to follow with a nourishing moisturiser to lock in hydration.
• Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. While Yuja is a natural source of Vitamin C, it can be potent. A patch test is essential. If your skin is highly reactive, consider introducing it slowly (e.g., 2-3 times per week) before daily use.

This serum is expertly formulated to address the following concerns, which are particularly relevant in Mauritius' sunny and humid climate:

• Dullness & Lack of Radiance: Revives tired, lackluster skin for a vibrant, healthy glow.
• Uneven Skin Tone: Helps to create a more uniform and clear complexion by addressing blotchiness and discoloration.
• Dark Spots & Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Actively works to fade the appearance of marks left behind by acne, sun exposure, or minor skin irritations.
• Environmental & UV-Induced Damage: Provides a powerful antioxidant defense to help neutralise free radicals generated by sun and pollution, preventing premature signs of aging.

• Official Korean Name: Information not publicly disclosed by the brand.

While the full INCI list has not been publicly disclosed by the brand, the key active ingredients are central to its efficacy:

Key Actives Explained:

• Black Soybean (Glycine Max) Extract: A powerhouse of antioxidants, including anthocyanins. It helps protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radicals that cause premature aging and dullness. It is also known for its nourishing and skin-conditioning properties.
• Yuja (Citrus Junos) Fruit Extract: A citrus fruit prized in Korean skincare, Yuja is naturally packed with Vitamin C—reportedly three times more than lemons. It works to inhibit melanin production, helping to brighten the complexion, fade hyperpigmentation, and impart a radiant glow.

Full INCI List:

The full ingredient list has not been made publicly available by the manufacturer. We are committed to updating this section as soon as this information is provided.

• Scent Profile: This serum is expected to have a natural, fresh citrus scent derived from the Yuja extract. The intensity is typically light to moderate (2/5).
• Fragrance Status: Likely contains no artificial fragrances, with its scent coming from natural extracts.
• Potential Allergens: As this product contains natural citrus extract, it may contain fragrance components like Limonene and Linalool, which are naturally occurring in citrus oils and must be listed if they exceed certain concentrations. These can be sensitizing for some individuals. A patch test is always recommended.

*EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without complete INCI; patch test advised.

Your safety is our priority. Please follow these guidelines for a positive experience.

General Safety:

• For external use only.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Do not apply to broken, irritated, or eczematous skin.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Patch Test Protocol for Sensitive Skin:

Because this serum contains potent natural actives like Vitamin C, we strongly recommend a patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive skin.

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the serum to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner wrist.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or a rash.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use. If irritation develops, discontinue use immediately.

• Texture: A lightweight, fluid serum. It feels watery and spreads easily across the skin.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly to leave a hydrated, non-sticky, slightly dewy finish. It does not feel heavy or occlusive.
• Scent: A refreshing, natural citrus aroma from the Yuja extract.
• pH: While not officially disclosed, serums containing Vitamin C are typically formulated at a slightly acidic pH (between 3.5 and 5.5) to ensure stability and efficacy.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Safety: Without the full INCI list, we cannot confirm if this product is 100% free of ingredients that could trigger fungal acne (e.g., certain oils or esters). A patch test is advised for those with this concern.

• Issue: I feel a slight tingling sensation upon application.
  Solution: A mild, brief tingling can be normal for some people when using Vitamin C-based products, especially for the first few times. However, if it persists, becomes a burning sensation, or is accompanied by redness, wash the product off and discontinue use. Try applying it over a hydrating toner to buffer the effect.
• Issue: The product is pilling or balling up under my moisturiser or makeup.
  Solution: This usually happens from using too much product or not allowing enough time for it to absorb. Use only 2-3 drops, and wait at least 60 seconds before applying your next layer.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after a few weeks.
  Solution: Fading hyperpigmentation is a slow process. Ensure you are using the product consistently every day and, most importantly, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every single morning. Without sun protection, UV exposure will counteract any brightening progress.

• Humid & Hot Weather: This serum's lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it an excellent choice for Mauritius' climate. It delivers potent benefits without feeling heavy or sticky on the skin, even on the most humid days.
• High UV Exposure: The powerful antioxidant properties of Black Soybean and Yuja Extract are crucial for protecting the skin against the high levels of free radical damage caused by intense sun exposure in Mauritius. Using this serum in the morning under your sunscreen provides an extra layer of defense.
• Indoors with Air-Conditioning: If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments which can dehydrate the skin, this serum provides a good layer of hydration. Just be sure to follow up with a moisturiser to lock it in.

• Ingredient Rationale (Black Soybean): Black Soybean is rich in anthocyanins, a class of powerful antioxidants. Studies on these compounds show they effectively neutralize free radicals, which are a primary cause of premature aging and skin damage from pollution and UV light.

Can I use this serum if I have sensitive skin?

While it contains natural extracts, Vitamin C can be potent. We strongly recommend performing a patch test on a small area of your skin (like your inner wrist or behind the ear) and waiting 24 hours to check for any reaction before applying it to your full face.

Is it safe to use this serum with a retinol product?

To avoid potential irritation, it's best not to use this Vitamin C-rich serum and a retinoid in the same routine. A common and safe approach is to use this serum in the morning (AM) and your retinol product at night (PM), or to use them on alternate nights.

Why "Black" Yuja Bean? What does that mean?

The "Black" in Black Soybean refers to the specific variety of soybean used, which is known for its high concentration of antioxidants. The "Yuja Bean" part of the name is likely a creative branding choice to combine the two key ingredients, Yuja and Black Soybean (Bean).

Will this serum make my skin more sensitive to the sun?

Vitamin C itself does not make your skin more sensitive to the sun. In fact, as an antioxidant, it helps protect your skin from sun damage. However, it is absolutely essential to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day when using any brightening product to protect your progress and prevent further pigmentation.
