The Spotreducer Cream is primarily used to reduce dark spots and even out skin tone. It is ideal for people with skin discoloration due to sun damage, hormonal changes, or skin aging.
The Spotreducer Cream has been awarded the Grand Prix de la Beauty award in Hong Kong! This cream contains vitamin B3 (niacinamide) and ectoine, which work together to reduce dark spots, brighten skin tone and improve skin texture. Vitamin B3 helps reduce the transport of skin pigment (melanin), which targets dark spots and evens out skin tone. Clinical studies have shown that using this cream after 8 weeks results in a lighter, more even skin tone, especially around the eyes and cheeks. Furthermore, an Australian study showed that niacinamide 1% cream reduced actinic keratosis (a precursor to skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma). And the icing on the cake, niacinamide also prevents suppression of the immune system caused by ultraviolet A (UVA) and B (UVB) rays.
The Spotreducer Cream is suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin. This makes the product versatile and accessible to many people looking for a solution for pigment spots and uneven skin tone.

(Active) ingredients

Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is a versatile ingredient known for its ability to reduce hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting melanin production and strengthening the skin barrier. This helps to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots. Additionally, niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for treating acne and redness.
Ectoin is a natural molecule produced by halophilic microorganisms, which survive in extreme environments such as salt lakes. It has strong cell-protecting properties, making it particularly valuable in skin care. Ectoin works by stabilizing cell membranes and proteins, protecting skin cells from external aggressors such as UV radiation, pollution, and dehydration. Ectoin also helps strengthen the skin barrier, which is essential for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin. It also soothes inflammation and reduces redness, making it an ideal ingredient for treating sensitive or irritated skin. Thanks to these properties, Ectoin helps protect and repair the skin, while promoting overall skin health.
Shea butter, a treasured secret from the heart of Africa, has long been used for its nourishing and protective properties. It is loved for its soothing effect on dryness and irritation. With high concentrations of natural vitamins and fatty acids, this butter deeply hydrates and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. With shea butter, you are enjoying an age-old beauty ritual that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Product usage

Step: 3. Hydration, protection and repair – Creams

Apply the Spotreducer Cream to a cleansed face with upward, circular movements. Use several times a day as needed. For best results, combine use with Iconic Elements cleansers and creams.

Here is a global step by step routine for your skin.

1. Cleansing the skin – Cleansers

Start with a cleanser to remove dirt, oil and makeup. Gently massage the cleanser into damp skin and rinse with lukewarm water.

Cleansing is the first step in any skincare routine. It removes dirt, oil and makeup from the skin, leaving your skin feeling fresh and clean. Regular cleansing prevents clogged pores and helps reduce skin problems such as acne.

2. Targeted care – Serums

Apply a serum to cleansed skin. Choose a serum that is tailored to your skin needs, such as anti-aging or hydration. Let the serum sit on your skin for a few minutes before moving on to the next step.

Serums are concentrated formulas that penetrate deep into the skin to target specific skin concerns, such as fine lines, pigmentation or loss of elasticity. They often contain powerful active ingredients and are applied after cleansing to maximise their effectiveness.

3. Hydration, protection and repair – Creams

Apply a cream to nourish and protect the skin. Use a day cream in the morning and a night cream in the evening.

Creams hydrate and protect the skin, provide the necessary nutrition and help restore the skin barrier. They prevent dryness and irritation and can address specific skin problems such as dark spots or wrinkles.

4. UV- and light protection (Sunscreen)

Finish with a sunscreen. This will protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent premature skin aging. Apply generously and reapply as needed during the day.

Sun protection is essential to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. It prevents sunburn, premature aging and reduces the risk of skin cancer. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin, even on cloudy days.
