How to apply

Questions and answers
Why does Lovi advise against Shiseido NutriPerfect Night Cream for skin with dark spots?

Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for skin with dark spots?

What does Carnosine do for skin with dark spots?
What does Vitamin B do for skin with dark spots?
Vitamin B, commonly known as niacinamide, helps fade dark spots and makes skin look brighter by preventing pigment from spreading to surface skin cells. Using it twice daily may significantly reduce uneven facial color while keeping skin calm and comfortable.
The British Journal of Dermatology, 2002Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for skin with dark spots?
This cream is a poor match for skin with dark spots, and a product of this type for this skin needs brightening ingredients like vitamin C and gentle exfoliants to help fade dark spots and even out skin tone. For this skin type, a routine places moisturizing treatments in the evening.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
This cream is a poor match for skin with dark spots, and skin dealing with dark spots needs targeted brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide to help fade discoloration.
How often should I use this cream?
This moisturizing treatment is a poor match for skin with dark spots, so it is best to avoid using it on this skin. Skin with dark spots needs targeted brightening ingredients and gentle exfoliants to help fade discoloration and reveal a more even, smooth complexion.

Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
This cream is not an ideal fit for the thin skin around the eyes or the skin on the body. A product for these areas needs gentle, hydrating ingredients and lightweight moisturizers that protect delicate skin without feeling heavy.
