Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum

Dark spots are stubborn — Glow Recipe's Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum comes at them from five directions. Five forms of vitamin C, guava extract and seed oil, plus tranexamic and ferulic acids combine in a lightweight serum built to brighten, even tone and help stop new spots from forming.

What it actually does

• Brightens with layered vitamin C. Five forms — including an encapsulated, time-release version — work on dullness with minimal irritation.
• Fades the look of dark spots. Tranexamic acid reduces how dark spots and redness appear over time, and the brand says the formula helps prevent future spots.
• Defends with guava. Guava extract and seed oil bring vitamin C and antioxidants that protect against free-radical damage.
• Firms and boosts radiance. Ferulic acid, vitamin E and peptides round out the formula.
• Gentle enough for daily use. In Glow Recipe's four-week consumer study of 29 people, 100% agreed it was gentle enough for everyday use, 96% saw brighter skin and better tone, and 89% noticed post-acne marks visibly reduced.

How to use

1. On clean skin, apply one to two pumps and pat gently for best absorption.
2. Use daily, morning and night, then follow with moisturiser.
3. During the day, finish with sunscreen — essential alongside any dark-spot treatment.
4. Sensitive skin? Begin with three to four applications a week and build up gradually.
5. Store it somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight, to keep the vitamin C potent.

Questions

Can I use it both morning and night?

Yes — that's the brand's suggested routine, with moisturiser after and sunscreen in the daytime. Sensitive skin types should start with three to four uses weekly.

Why does storage matter for this serum?

Vitamin C degrades with heat and light. Glow Recipe recommends keeping it in a cool, dry spot out of direct sun — worth remembering in an Egyptian summer.

Will it help old acne marks?

In the brand's four-week study, 89% of participants noticed a visible reduction in post-acne marks, and 86% agreed it diminished sun-related hyperpigmentation. Consistency plus daily SPF is what moves the needle.

How long does delivery take?
