Dealing with the lingering red and brown marks after a breakout can be frustrating. This targeted treatment cream is formulated to accelerate the healing and fading process of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), helping you achieve a clearer, more even-toned complexion faster.

This is a nourishing spot treatment and recovery cream designed for skin struggling with the aftermath of acne.

• Who it's for: Anyone with stubborn red marks (PIE), brown spots (PIH), or uneven texture left behind by pimples. Suitable for most skin types, particularly normal to dry and combination skin.
• What it does: Visibly reduces the appearance of post-acne discoloration, soothes inflammation, and helps improve shallow scarring and texture for a smoother surface.
• Texture & Feel: A soft, creamy texture that absorbs without feeling heavy or greasy, leaving a comfortable, hydrated finish.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base by washing your face.
2. Red Erasing Cream 2.0: Apply a pea-sized amount to the entire face or dab directly onto affected areas (see "How to Use" for details).
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): In the morning, always finish with sunscreen to protect healing spots. At night, if your skin is very dry, you can layer a simple moisturiser on top.

Mindful Tip: Already using a spot treatment? Finish that first to see its full effect before introducing a new one. Substitute, don't just stack.

Use this cream as the final step of your skincare routine before sunscreen (AM) or as the last step at night.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the whole face. If using as a spot treatment, a tiny dab directly on the mark is enough.
• Method: Gently smooth over the face and neck, or pat onto specific areas of concern until absorbed. Avoid harsh rubbing.
• Frequency: Start by using it once daily at night (PM) for the first week to allow your skin to acclimate. If your skin feels comfortable, you can increase to twice daily (AM and PM).

Important Tips for Best Results:

• Sunscreen is a must: Actives that fade spots make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Daily sunscreen use is non-negotiable to prevent marks from darkening and to protect your results.
• Be patient: Fading pigmentation takes time. Consistent use over several weeks is necessary to see significant improvement.

• Immediately: Skin feels soothed, hydrated, and comfortable. The cream forms a light protective barrier over irritated spots.
• After 2-4 Weeks: You may notice a reduction in redness (PIE) and inflammation. Skin texture may begin to feel smoother.
• After 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent daily use and diligent sun protection, brown spots (PIH) should appear visibly lighter and the overall skin tone more even. Brand-led clinical studies on similar formulations suggest significant improvement in pigmentation metrics within this timeframe.

• Myth: "Applying lemon juice or toothpaste will fade acne scars quickly."
• Reality: These harsh DIY methods often cause more harm than good. [cite_start]Lemon juice is highly acidic and can cause chemical burns and increased sun sensitivity, leading to *worse* hyperpigmentation[cite: 2891]. Toothpaste contains irritants that can dry out and inflame the skin.
• A Better Way: The Red Erasing Cream 2.0 uses clinically-studied ingredients like Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid at effective concentrations to safely and gently fade discoloration without damaging your skin barrier.

• ✅ Works Well With: Hydrating ingredients (Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Panthenol), gentle cleansers, and most importantly, Sunscreen. Layering over a hydrating toner can boost absorption.
• ⚠️ Use With Caution: When pairing with other strong actives like high-concentration Vitamin C, AHAs/BHAs (Glycolic/Salicylic Acid), or Retinoids. To avoid potential irritation, it's best to alternate their use (e.g., use this cream in the AM and your retinoid in the PM, or use them on different nights).
• ❌ Avoid On: Do not apply to open wounds or actively weeping acne lesions. Let the spot form a surface before applying.

• Ideal For: Normal, Combination, and Dry skin types dealing with post-acne marks.
• May Work For: Oily skin types may find it suitable for nighttime use or as a spot treatment, but might prefer a lighter gel for all-over daytime use, especially in Mauritius' humid climate.
• Caution For: Very sensitive skin should perform a patch test first, as the formula contains multiple active ingredients and plant extracts.

• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Helps fade the dark brown or black spots left after acne heals.
• Post-Inflammatory Erythema (PIE): Helps reduce the stubborn red or purplish marks that persist after a pimple has gone.
• Uneven Skin Tone & Texture: Works to create a smoother, more uniform complexion by addressing discoloration and providing moisture.
• Dullness: Brightening ingredients help restore radiance to skin that looks tired or lackluster from past breakouts.

• Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil: A non-comedogenic oil that mimics the skin's natural sebum, providing moisture and helping to balance oil production without clogging pores.

• Tranexamic Acid: An effective ingredient for targeting stubborn hyperpigmentation, including melasma and post-acne marks, by interfering with melanin production.
• Centella Asiatica Extract & Madecassoside: A famous soothing duo from the "Cica" family that calms irritation, reduces redness, and promotes skin healing and repair.
• Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract: A natural source of salicylates, which provides gentle exfoliation to help keep pores clear and improve skin texture.

Full INCI List:

Water, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Niacinamide, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Tranexamic Acid, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassoside, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Allantoin, Arginine, Sorbitan Olivate, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Carbomer, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

• Scent Profile: This product is formulated without artificial fragrances. Users describe a very faint, slightly medicinal or herbal scent from the natural ingredients, which dissipates quickly. Scent Intensity: 1/5.
• EU Allergen Information: Based on the disclosed INCI list, this product does not contain any of the 26 declarable fragrance allergens according to EU regulations.

This cream is designed to be gentle, but as with any active product, a patch test is recommended for first-time users, especially those with sensitive skin.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small, pea-sized amount to a discreet area, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24-48 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or a rash.
3. If no reaction occurs, you can proceed with applying it to your face as directed.

Safety Precautions:

• For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes.
• Do not use on broken or wounded skin.
• Discontinue use immediately if a persistent rash or irritation occurs, and consult a professional if symptoms do not resolve.
• Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A smooth, mid-weight cream. It's not a light gel, but not a heavy balm either. Spreads easily.
• Feel on Skin: Feels nourishing and moisturizing upon application. It absorbs well within a minute or two, leaving a soft, non-greasy, and slightly dewy finish.
• pH Level: Not officially disclosed by the brand, but similar formulations are typically in the skin-friendly range of pH 5.5 - 6.5.
• Comedogenicity Note: While formulated with non-comedogenic Jojoba Oil, it also contains Shea Butter. Most users do not report issues, but those who are extremely prone to clogged pores from richer ingredients should be mindful or use it as a spot treatment.

• Issue: The cream feels a bit heavy or isn't absorbing quickly.
  Solution: You might be using too much. A small pea-sized amount is all that's needed for the face. Apply it to slightly damp skin to enhance absorption and spreadability.
• Issue: I'm experiencing new breakouts after starting the cream.
  Solution: This could be due to a few reasons. If the breakouts are small and in your usual problem areas, it might be temporary "purging" as the active ingredients work. However, if you are getting breakouts in new areas or they are cystic, your skin might find the formula too rich. Try using it only as a spot treatment on marks rather than all over your face.
• Issue: My spots don't seem to be fading after two weeks.
  Solution: Patience is key! Fading hyperpigmentation is a slow process that requires consistency. Ensure you are using the cream daily and, most importantly, applying sunscreen every single morning. Without sun protection, UV exposure will re-darken the spots, undoing your progress.

• Humid Summer: The creamy texture might feel a bit rich for all-over daytime use if you have oily or combination skin. In this case, it's perfect as a nighttime (PM) treatment or as a targeted spot treatment during the day. For dry skin, it should feel comfortable year-round.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: This cream is an excellent choice for the cooler, drier months or for anyone who spends significant time in air-conditioned spaces. Its nourishing formula helps counteract the drying effects of AC and protects the skin barrier.

At Adilsons, we believe in empowering you with effective, safe, and authentic skincare. We meticulously curate our selection, partnering directly with brands and official distributors in South Korea. Our promise is simple: every product is 100% genuine, and our advice is always honest and geared towards your skin's long-term health, not just a quick sale.

1. Can I use this cream on active acne?
It's best used on healing blemishes or the marks left behind. While it contains soothing ingredients, it's not designed as a primary treatment for active, inflamed pimples. Apply it once a pimple has flattened and is no longer painful or open.

2. Is this cream suitable for sensitive skin?
It is formulated to be gentle and contains many soothing ingredients. However, it is an active treatment. If you have very reactive skin, we strongly recommend performing a patch test on your jawline for 24-48 hours before applying it to your entire face.

3. How long will it take to see results on my dark spots?
Hyperpigmentation fades slowly. You may see a reduction in redness within 2-4 weeks, but fading brown spots (PIH) typically requires at least 4-8 weeks of consistent daily use, combined with strict daily sun protection.

4. Can I use this cream with my Retinol or Vitamin C serum?
Yes, but with caution. To minimize the risk of irritation, we recommend alternating their use. For example, use your Vitamin C serum in the morning, this cream in the evening, and your retinol on a different night. Avoid layering all of them in the same routine.

• Best For: Individuals looking for a dedicated treatment to fade the red and brown marks left by acne and to improve overall skin evenness.
• Key Benefits: Clinically-tested formula with effective brightening agents (Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid), soothes and repairs with Centella, and has a comfortable, non-greasy texture.
• Keep in Mind: Results require patience and consistent sunscreen use. Those with very oily skin might find it better for nighttime use. As it contains Shea Butter, it may not be suitable for those prone to congestion from richer creams.
