A night cream with retinaldehyde and niacinamide for skin showing dark spots and uneven tone. Use it in the evening only.

1. In the evening, cleanse and pat the skin completely dry.
2. Apply a thin layer to the areas of visible discolouration, or over the whole face for general tone.
3. Start with 2 to 3 nights per week for the first fortnight, then build up gradually to nightly as your skin tolerates it.
4. Follow with a moisturiser if your skin feels dry.
5. Every morning, apply a Propaira SPF50+ sunscreen. Daily SPF is essential with any retinoid and with any pigmentation routine.

Tips:
- Patch test on the inner forearm or behind the ear before first use.
- Retinaldehyde is a step closer to retinoic acid than retinol, so treat it with respect: use a pea sized amount for the whole face, and expect possible mild dryness or flaking in the first weeks. Ease off frequency if this occurs, then rebuild.
- Do not layer it on the same night as exfoliating acids or the Niaben Mask. Alternate nights instead.
- Avoid this product if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding, as retinoids are not recommended during this time.
- Have new or changing dark patches checked by your GP or dermatologist before starting, and follow their guidance on frequency.
Key ingredients:
- Retinaldehyde: a fast converting vitamin A form, one step from retinoic acid, that helps smooth skin texture and visibly fade the look of dark spots and uneven tone with good tolerability
- Niacinamide: helps visibly even skin tone and supports the skin barrier
- Glabridin (Licorice Root Extract): a botanical antioxidant that helps brighten the look of discolouration
- Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate: a postbiotic that supports a balanced, calm looking skin surface
- Shea Butter and Glycerin: cushion the formula so the retinoid stays comfortable

Full ingredients (INCI):
Purified Water, Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate, Niacinamide, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Cetaryl Glucoside (and) Cetearyl Alcohol, Octyldodecanol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Retinaldehyde, Phospholipids, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Vitamin E Acetate, Dimethicone, Glycyrrhiza Glabra - Glabridin (Licorice Root Extract), Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate, Phenoxyethanol
Retinaldehyde is the direct precursor to retinoic acid, so the skin converts it in one step instead of two. In practice that means it can deliver visible smoothing and brightening results efficiently while remaining better tolerated than stronger prescription retinoids.
Niaben RA is the evening retinoid option, ideal if you want texture smoothing along with fading of dark spots. Niaben HQ and Niaben TXA are twice daily brightening creams, and the Niaben Mask is the weekly intensive. Many routines pair RA at night with TXA or HQ in the morning. Book a free consultation and we will map it for you, alongside your dermatologist's advice.
Mild dryness or flaking in the first few weeks is a normal adjustment to retinaldehyde. Drop back to 2 nights a week, buffer with moisturiser, then build up again. Stop and seek advice if you get persistent stinging, swelling or rash.
No. As with all vitamin A skincare, avoid it if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding. The Niaben TXA cream is the one many people switch to at this time; check with your doctor first.
Expect first changes around 8 weeks and clearer results by 12 weeks of consistent night use with daily SPF50+. Sun protection is what locks the results in.

Noticeable fading in weeks

Used daily for about six weeks and my hyperpigmentation is much less obvious; skin tone looks more even and brighter. Consistent results without irritation.

Smooth application, subtle scent

The dropper dosing makes it simple to use morning or night; skin feels softer and makeup sits nicer. No sticky residue.

Love how straightforward this fits into my routine a few drops and I'm done. Pigmentation has visibly reduced and my confidence is up.

Clinic quality at home

Feels luxe and the pump bottle looks clinical results are worth the price. Scarring and sun spots are lighter and skin tone is clearer.

Gentle and effective serum

Light, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly and the faint citrus scent is pleasant. Noticed my dark spots fading after a few weeks, really easy to layer under moisturiser.
