A multi-tasking morning cream that provides powerful sun protection while instantly correcting a dull, uneven skin tone. Infused with Green Tangerine Extract and Vitamin C derivatives, it works to gradually fade the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, leaving the skin with a bright, radiant, and dewy finish. Its lightweight formula serves as a moisturiser, sunscreen, and colour-correcting base in one step.

Dealing with stubborn dark spots or a complexion that looks tired and dull can be frustrating. This tone-up cream offers both an immediate cosmetic fix and long-term brightening benefits.

• Who it's for: Individuals with normal, combination, or dry skin types looking to address dullness, uneven skin tone, and post-acne marks (PIH).
• What to expect (Instant): A visible brightening and tone-evening effect upon application, leaving a dewy, radiant finish. Acts as a luminous primer under makeup.
• What to expect (Long-term): With consistent daily use, helps to visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots and sun damage for a clearer, more even complexion.

This product is designed to simplify your morning routine.

1. (AM) Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. (AM) Apply: Use the two-finger rule (see 'How to Use') to apply the Tone Up Cream evenly across your face and neck as your final skincare step.
3. (PM) Cleanse & Moisturise: This product is for daytime use only. In the evening, wash your face and apply a nighttime moisturiser.

Mindful Tip: Already own a sunscreen or brightening moisturiser? Finish that first to avoid waste. You can incorporate this product once your current one is empty.

This cream is a perfect last step for your morning skincare, combining moisture, brightening, and essential UV protection.

• Minimalist Routine (2 Steps):
  1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
  2. Apply & Protect: Apply the Green Tangerine Tone Up Cream. For most skin types, this is hydrating enough to replace a separate moisturiser and sunscreen.
• Optional Additions (4 Steps):
  1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
  2. Tone (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner for an extra layer of moisture.
  3. Serum (Optional): If you have other concerns, apply a targeted serum (e.g., for hydration or calming).
  4. Apply & Protect: Finish with the Green Tangerine Tone Up Cream.

Wait Time: Allow 1-2 minutes for the cream to set before applying makeup.

This product contains SPF and tone-up pigments and is not intended for nighttime use. A proper evening routine is crucial for removing sunscreen and allowing your skin to repair.

Recommended PM Routine:

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away the tone-up cream and other impurities, then follow with a water-based foam or gel cleanser.
2. Treat: Apply any targeted treatments, such as an exfoliating toner (2-3 times a week), a hydrating essence, or a repair serum (e.g., with retinoids or peptides).
3. Moisturise: Finish with a dedicated night cream or moisturiser to lock in hydration and support overnight skin recovery.

Use this product in the morning (AM) only as the final step of your skincare routine.

• Amount: Use the "Two-Finger Rule." Squeeze two lines of cream onto your index and middle fingers. This is the dermatologist-recommended amount for adequate sun protection for your face and neck.
• Method: Apply evenly to your face and neck. Gently pat to help it absorb and blend. Be sure to cover often-missed spots like your hairline, ears, and the back of your neck.
• Frequency: Use daily. Consistent use is key for both sun protection and seeing brightening results.

Tips for Best Results:

• Under Makeup: This cream acts as an excellent brightening primer. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to set before applying foundation to prevent pilling.
• Oily Skin? If you have oily skin, you may find this cream provides enough moisture to skip your regular morning moisturiser. You can also apply a light dusting of translucent powder over your T-zone.
• Dry Skin? If your skin is very dry, apply a layer of your favorite hydrating serum or a light moisturiser before the tone-up cream.

Results are both immediate and cumulative. Consistency, especially with daily sun protection, is key.

• Immediately: Your skin will appear visibly brighter, more even-toned, and radiant due to the "tone-up" effect. The skin feels hydrated and has a dewy glow.
• After 2-4 Weeks: You may notice your overall complexion looks less dull and more luminous, even on bare-skin days. The Vitamin C and Niacinamide begin to improve skin clarity.
• After 8+ Weeks: With diligent daily use and consistent sun protection, the appearance of existing dark spots, sun spots, and post-acne marks may be visibly reduced. Skin texture appears smoother and more refined.

Myth: "Natural is always better. I can just use lemon juice to fade my dark spots."

Reality: While this cream uses natural Green Tangerine extract, it's formulated for safety and stability. Applying raw lemon juice to your skin is a risky DIY. Lemon juice is highly acidic (pH ~2) and can cause chemical burns, disrupt your skin's protective barrier, and lead to severe photosensitivity (phytophotodermatitis), which can ironically cause more dark spots. This cream delivers a stable, pH-balanced form of Vitamin C derivatives that work effectively to brighten your skin without the risk of irritation and sun-induced damage.

This is a morning product. Most potential conflicts with strong actives can be avoided by scheduling them for your evening routine.

• ✅ Works Well With:
  • Niacinamide: Pairs excellently. Niacinamide complements Vitamin C for enhanced brightening and also helps regulate oil production.
  • Hyaluronic Acid & Other Hydrators: Perfect for layering underneath to boost moisture and create a plump, dewy base.
  • Most Makeup: Acts as a brightening primer. Allow it to set for a minute to prevent pilling.
• ⚠️ Use with Caution:
  • Other Vitamin C Products: Layering multiple high-concentration Vitamin C products in the same routine is unnecessary and may increase the potential for irritation. Choose one for your morning routine.
• 🚫 Avoid in the Same Routine:
  • Strong Exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) & Retinoids: Reserve these powerful actives for your PM routine on alternate nights to avoid overwhelming your skin and causing sensitivity.

• Excellent for:
  • Normal Skin: Provides the perfect balance of hydration, sun protection, and a radiant finish.
  • Dull Skin: Instantly counteracts a tired-looking complexion with its tone-up effect.
  • Dry Skin: Offers a moisturising finish and dewy glow. Very dry types may want to layer a hydrator underneath.
• Good for:
  • Combination Skin: Works well, though you may prefer to use a mattifying powder on the T-zone if you get shiny during the day.
• Use with Caution:
  • Oily & Acne-Prone Skin: The dewy finish might feel too heavy, especially in Mauritius' humidity. The formula is non-comedogenic, but a patch test is recommended. Consider a matte sunscreen as an alternative if you prefer less glow.
  • Very Sensitive Skin: Contains natural citrus extracts and fragrance components (Limonene, Linalool). A patch test is essential to ensure no irritation.

• Dullness & Lack of Radiance: Instantly brightens with a visible tone-up effect and works over time to restore a natural glow.
• Uneven Skin Tone: Helps to even out blotchiness and create a more uniform complexion.
• Dark Spots & Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Formulated with Vitamin C derivatives and Niacinamide to help fade the appearance of sun spots and marks left by blemishes.
• Sun Protection: Provides high-level, broad-spectrum SPF 50+ PA++++ protection against UVA and UVB rays, preventing future sun damage and dark spots.
• Dehydration: The creamy formula provides a light layer of moisture, preventing dryness throughout the day.

  • Limonene: Naturally occurs in citrus peel oils.
  • Linalool: Naturally occurs in Bergamot oil.

• Texture: A smooth, lightweight cream that feels hydrating upon application. It is not heavy or greasy.
• Finish: Leaves a dewy, radiant finish with a noticeable tone-up effect. It does not dry down matte.
• Scent: A subtle and refreshing natural citrus aroma from tangerine and bergamot oils.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but formulated to be gentle on the skin.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Suitability: Contains Sorbitan Isostearate and Stearic Acid, which may be potential triggers for those with severe fungal acne. A patch test is recommended if you are prone to this condition.

• Issue: The cream is pilling or balling up.
  • Solution: This usually happens when layers underneath haven't fully absorbed or too much product is used. Try waiting a bit longer (30-60 seconds) between your serum and this cream. Also, apply the cream by patting gently rather than rubbing vigorously.
• Issue: The tone-up effect looks too white or leaves a cast.
  • Solution: The tone-up effect is intentional. Ensure you are using the correct amount and blending it well into the skin, including your neck and hairline, to create a seamless transition. If it still feels too bright, you can mix it with a small amount of your regular, non-SPF moisturiser (note: this will dilute the SPF protection) or top it with a foundation that matches your skin tone.
• Issue: My skin looks too shiny or feels greasy by midday.
  • Solution: This product has a dewy finish. If you have oily or combination skin, try skipping your morning moisturiser and using this cream directly after your serum. You can also set your T-zone with a translucent powder, like the INNISFREE NO SEBUM MINERAL POWDER 5G, to control shine.

This product is an excellent choice for the Mauritian climate due to its high SPF and lightweight feel.

• Year-Round UV Protection: With our consistently high UV index, the SPF 50+ PA++++ rating provides essential daily protection against sun damage, photoaging, and hyperpigmentation.
• Humid Summers (November-April): The dewy finish might feel a bit heavy for very oily skin types during the most humid months. In this case, applying a light setting powder over the top can help control excess shine. Combination and dry skin types will likely appreciate the hydrating feel.
• Drier Winters (May-October): This cream is perfect for the cooler, drier season. It provides enough moisture for most skin types while still offering that bright, healthy glow and crucial sun protection.
• Indoors/AC Environments: If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, which can be very dehydrating, the moisturising properties of this cream will help keep your skin comfortable and prevent tightness.

Here’s a summary of real-user feedback from verified purchasers on platforms like Reddit and YesStyle. (Note: Experiences are individual and can vary.)

"It gives a beautiful, subtle brightening effect without being a thick, pasty white cast like other tone-up creams. My skin looks so healthy and glowy. It's my go-to for 'no-makeup' days."

— YesStyle review (2024-05)

"As someone with PIH, I love that I'm treating my dark spots while also getting my daily SPF. It sits really nicely under my concealer. The citrus scent is refreshing and not too strong."

— Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-02)

A Fair Caveat: A user with oily skin mentioned that while they loved the initial finish, it became too dewy for them by the end of the day in a very humid climate. They found that applying a bit of powder on their T-zone in the morning helped it last better.

— Paraphrased from Amazon customer review (2024-03)

Can I use this instead of my foundation?

It depends on your desired coverage. This cream provides a brightening effect but does not offer significant coverage like a foundation. It's perfect for a "no-makeup makeup" look or as a radiant primer underneath your foundation.

Is the "tone-up" effect permanent?

No, the immediate tone-up effect is cosmetic and will wash off when you cleanse your face. The long-term brightening of dark spots comes from the active ingredients like Vitamin C and Niacinamide working on your skin over time.

Do I still need a moisturiser with this cream?

For oily to normal skin types, this cream may provide enough moisture for daytime use. If you have dry skin or are in a very dry, air-conditioned environment, you may benefit from applying a light layer of moisturiser before this cream.

Will this work on darker skin tones?

Tone-up creams are designed to create a brighter appearance. On deeper skin tones, it's important to blend it very well to avoid an ashy or grey cast. It may provide a subtle brightening glow, but a patch test is recommended to see if you like the finish. For a completely transparent option, consider the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun.
