How Curatory Credit works

Why I chose it

Pigmentation usually responds best to a combination of daily sunscreen and targeted ingredients rather than relying on one product.

This cream brings several useful pigment-suppressing ingredients into one simple formula and can be particularly helpful for milder uneven tone or maintenance.

It can also be a useful way of suppressing or minimising pigmentation around in-clinic procedures, but always check with your treating practitioner first.

Melasma, new pigmentation or pigmentation that is changing may need assessment and a more tailored plan.

How to introduce it

Apply a large pea-sized amount to the full face rather than only to individual areas of pigmentation. Use once daily for maintenance or up to twice daily if advised as part of a broader pigmentation routine.

It can be a useful way of suppressing or minimising pigmentation around in-clinic procedures, but always check with your treating practitioner first.

If the product causes redness or sensitivity, reduce use to every other day. If the irritation is more significant, stop and contact us.

Contains a mild vitamin A derivative. Do not use during pregnancy, while breastfeeding or if you are trying to conceive. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.

The ingredients that make this special

A closer look at the ingredients doing the most meaningful work in this formula—and what the evidence can reasonably tell us.

Liquorice Root Extract

A soothing and brightening botanical extract that helps support a more even-looking complexion.

Read the clinical context

Liquorice Root Extract contains compounds such as glabridin and liquiritin, which are associated with calming and pigment-regulating effects. There is moderate evidence, including small clinical studies, suggesting it may help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and redness. Laboratory data also supports its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. While results are generally milder than prescription treatments, it is well tolerated and commonly used in formulations designed for sensitive, reactive or uneven skin.

Kojic Dipalmitate

A brightening ingredient designed to help improve uneven pigmentation.

Read the clinical context

Kojic Dipalmitate is a more stable, oil-soluble derivative of kojic acid used in skincare to target dark spots and uneven skin tone. It works by slowing down melanin production, through the same pathway as Kojic Acid. Evidence for its effectiveness in topical skincare is limited but growing, with most data coming from laboratory or formulation-based studies rather than large clinical trials. It is typically better tolerated and more stable than kojic acid, making it a common choice in products designed for gradual, gentle brightening.

Alpha Arbutin

A brightening ingredient that can help improve the appearance of dark marks and uneven pigmentation.

Read the clinical context

Alpha arbutin is a brightening ingredient that can help improve the appearance of dark marks and uneven pigmentation. Human studies of formulas containing alpha arbutin have shown promising results, although it has generally been studied alongside other brightening ingredients and sunscreen. It’s a useful supportive ingredient for gradually improving uneven pigmentation.
