The problem
Why dark marks
keep coming back
The usual fix is something stronger. On sensitive and deeper skin tones, stronger often means a new mark.
Extra pigment
Melanin-rich skin answers inflammation by making more pigment.
A new mark
The mark you were fading gets company. So you reach for something stronger.
Break the loop
Fade marks without irritating the skin. Gentler, for longer.
For reactive skin
Start slow
Sensitive skin does best when one new product arrives at a time.

Twice a day

SPF, every morning

Questions
Will it sting?
First light has no exfoliating acids and no added fragrance, the two things that most often sting. Every skin is different, so patch test first.
How is it different from an acid serum?
Exfoliating acids fade marks by peeling the surface, which can irritate reactive skin. Tranexamic acid and niacinamide work on the signals behind extra pigment instead, without peeling.
Why add glaze?
Marks fade best on calm, hydrated skin. Glaze is a fragrance-free moisturizer with hyaluronic acid and aloe that goes on after first light.
Can I use it with eczema or rosacea?
Those are medical conditions, so ask your doctor or dermatologist before you start a new product.
How long until I see a difference?
Dark marks fade over weeks, not days. Give it 8 to 12 weeks of daily use, with SPF every morning. Results vary.
When does my pre-order ship?
