Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration and soothing benefits for your normal skin, with hyaluronic acid and glycerin providing humectant action while squalane and ceramide NP support barrier repair.
- While beneficial for general skin health, the formula lacks targeted ingredients to address your primary concern of pigmentation.
- The product is safe for your normal skin, as it contains soothing agents like Bisabolol and Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract and avoids harsh or prohibited substances.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM and PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply this moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your morning SPF.
- Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing it too hard so it absorbs nicely.
- For the best moisture, you can apply it when your skin is slightly damp. This helps your skin stay soft and happy.
- Remember to avoid the eye area when applying. Always do a patch test before your first use.

Questions and answers
How well does REJURAN Dual Effect work for skin with dark spots?
This treatment works moderately well for your skin, as it provides helpful hydration and soothing benefits but lacks targeted ingredients to address dark spots. A product of this type for skin with dark spots needs brightening ingredients like niacinamide and arbutin to effectively fade discoloration.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2022
Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for skin with dark spots?
This serum contains niacinamide and arbutin, which help brighten dark spots and even out skin tone. To work best for dark spots, a product of this type needs targeted brightening ingredients and effective pigmentation-fading actives like vitamin C or licorice extract.
What does Blackberry Leaf Extract do for skin with dark spots?
Blackberry leaf extract helps fade dark spots by targeting excess skin pigment. This plant-based ingredient may improve uneven skin tone safely with a low risk of irritation.
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology. Symposium Proceedings, 2008
What does Licorice Extract do for skin with dark spots?
Licorice extract helps fade dark spots and even out skin tone by slowing down the melanin production that causes discoloration. It is also very safe and gentle, making it unlikely to irritate even sensitive skin while brightening your complexion.
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2025Pigment Cell Research, 1998
Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for skin with dark spots?
This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing, though it can also be used in the morning or twice a day. While it offers moderate hydration and soothing benefits, skin with dark spots needs targeted brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide to effectively fade discoloration.
Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this moisturizing treatment alongside retinol by applying it before your retinol product to help keep your skin calm and hydrated. Applying a barrier-supporting moisturizer helps reduce the irritation often caused by retinol.
How often should I use this serum?
You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. While it offers moderate hydration and soothing benefits, skin with dark spots needs targeted brightening ingredients like vitamin C, alpha arbutin, or tranexamic acid for best results.
Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for skin with dark spots?
This moisturizing treatment is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for skin with dark spots because it is safe for normal skin and avoids harsh substances. However, since it lacks targeted ingredients for dark spots, this skin needs a product with brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide to effectively fade discoloration.
Can I use this serum around the eyes or on my body?
This moisturizing treatment is safe to use on the body and around the eyes, though the eyelid skin is among the thinnest areas and needs gentle care. It helps keep skin soft and smooth, but skin with dark spots needs a product that includes targeted brightening ingredients like vitamin C, kojic acid, or retinoids.
Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
