Why your spots keep coming back: 3 causes, and serums only treat 1.

Two bottles of the serum everyone recommends and nothing changed. It is not you. On olive, brown and deep skin, three things keep a dark spot alive. Treat one and the other two bring it back. EVENA is one product per cause.

Cause 01 · Pigment cells over-producing−

Inside the spot, the pigment cells make too much. This is the only cause most serums treat, usually at half the trial dose.

EVENA 01, cysteamine 5% at night, brings production down without bleaching the skin around the spot.2,3

Cause 02 · A signal from underneath+

Hormones and small blood vessels in the deeper skin tell those cells to keep going. Serums do not reach it, so the spot re-forms from below.11

EVENA 02, tranexamic acid 5% every morning, blocks that signal. It matched prescription hydroquinone head to head.4

Cause 03 · Daylight, every day+

Visible light, not just UV, re-darkens the spot on olive, brown and deep skin, and clear sunscreen does not block it.7

EVENA 03 is tinted with iron oxides, the only ingredient that does, in four shades so it disappears on brown skin and actually gets worn.1

Sensitive skin+

Nothing that peels or strips: no hydroquinone, retinoid, acid peel or fragrance. The strong step is rinsed off after 15 minutes. The serum carries 5% niacinamide to rebuild the barrier while the actives work.

Who it is for+

Adults with melasma, post-acne marks or sun spots on olive, brown or deep skin, tones III to VI: South Asian, Latina, Middle Eastern and North African, Southeast and East Asian, Black, mixed and Mediterranean skin.

Not for under-eye darkness that fades when you stretch the skin, redness or broken capillaries, or active acne. Treat that first, then the marks.

Cross-section of skin: light at the surface, pigment cells in the upper skin, blood vessels deeper down

On skin tones IV to VI, ordinary daylight left lasting pigment where it left none on fair skin.7 That is why clear sunscreen was never going to be enough.

The protocol: two minutes a day.

One step at night, two in the morning. The card in the box tells you exactly what to do and what to expect each week.

Serious about the science. Ask away.

Anything not here, ask. A dermatology nurse answers within a day.
When will I see a change?+

The sunscreen stops spots getting darker from day one. The first visible fading is usually between week 4 and week 8, at the edges of a patch first. Most of the fading is done by week 16. Individual results vary.

Is it melasma or "just" dark spots, and does it matter?+

No. Melasma, sun spots and the marks acne leaves behind come from the same three causes in different proportions, so the protocol is the same. Patches on the cheeks, upper lip or forehead that get worse with sun, heat or hormones are usually melasma and take the full 16 weeks.

Is it safe on olive, brown and deep skin?+

It was designed for it. No hydroquinone, no retinoid, no peel. The night cream is on for 15 minutes and rinsed off, so nothing strong stays on overnight. The sunscreen is tinted so it disappears on brown skin instead of leaving a grey cast.

Will it irritate sensitive skin?+

The serum contains 5% niacinamide precisely to strengthen the barrier while the actives work. No acids that peel, no retinoid, no fragrance. Reactive skin: use the night cream every other night for the first two weeks.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?+

Use the morning serum and the sunscreen. Skip the night cream until after breastfeeding, and check with your midwife or doctor.

Why three products and not one?+

Because one bottle cannot do three opposite jobs. The night cream has to go on and be rinsed off. The sunscreen has to stay on all day and be tinted. The serum sits in between. Put them in one bottle and each job gets done badly.

How does the subscription work?+

One box every 8 weeks, billed on the day it ships. First box £99, then £129.90. Free next-day delivery anywhere in the UK. Pause, skip or cancel in two clicks from your account, no minimum term.

What if it does not work for me?+

Use it as directed for sixty days. If your spots have not visibly faded, one email and we refund everything you have paid. Keep the products. No photos, no forms.
