RECOMMENDED ROUTINE

A simple routine for tone care

  1. 01 Cleanser

    5.5 Soothing Cleansing Foam 120ml

    Squeeze about 1–2 cm onto wet palms and work it into a rich foam with a little water. Massage gently over the face for 1–2 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Keep it away from the eye area.

  2. 02 Toner pad

    Jeju Yuja Balancing Pad 120 pcs 180 ml

    Right after cleansing, sweep one pad along the skin, avoiding the eye area. When skin needs calming, lay the pad on cheeks or forehead for 3–5 minutes, then remove it and pat in what remains.

  3. 03 SerumThis product
    Dark Spot Solution Vita C TRX Serum — brown 30 ml dropper bottle with REGLOW badge, front packshot, vegan mark

    Dark Spot Solution Vita C TRX Serum

    Apply 2–3 drops and spread evenly over the whole face, then pat gently until absorbed. Add a second thin layer on the spot you want to focus on.

  4. 04 Cream

    Teca Lifting Moisture Cream 50ml

    Scoop a pea-sized amount with the spatula and smooth it over face and neck. Massage in small circles until absorbed, and use a little more where skin feels dry.

  5. 05 Sunscreen (morning)

    Daily Airfit Sunscreen 50ml

    As the last step of your morning routine, squeeze out a generous amount and spread it evenly over face, neck and any skin the sun will reach. Apply about 30 minutes before going out, and reapply every 3 hours on long outdoor days or after sweating or towelling off. SPF50+ PA++++.

DAILY ROUTINE

How to get the best from it.

When
Morning and night, after toner and before cream.
How often
Daily. Give it four weeks of consistent use, the period our human application test measured. Individual results may vary.
How much
2–3 drops for the whole face. Add a second thin layer on the spot you want to focus on.
For the best result
In the morning, finish with sunscreen: while you work on tone, sun protection matters as much as the serum. Avoid strong AHA or BHA products in the same routine, as they may cause irritation. If you use retinol, keep this serum for the morning and retinol for night. Sensitive skin: patch-test on the jawline for two nights first. Layering it with other VVBETTER serums? About 1–2 drops of each is enough.
Storage
Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Use within 12 months of opening; unopened, it keeps for 36 months from the date of manufacture. A little white powder around the opening is normal: wipe it off and keep using.

Questions & answers

Good questions.

What shoppers and AI assistants ask most about Dark Spot Solution Vita C TRX Serum.

What is VVBETTER Dark Spot Solution Vita C TRX Serum?

A 30 mL (1.01 fl.oz.) brightening serum for skin with surface and deep pigmentation, blemishes and a dull, uneven tone. It combines a 72% sea buckthorn water base with 30,000 ppm tranexamic acid and 65,100 ppm of listed dark spot actives.

What skin concerns is it made for?

Surface and deep pigmentation, blemishes, and dull or uneven skin tone.

What does "dual-functional cosmetic" mean?

In Korea a dual-functional cosmetic is registered for two functions at once. This serum is a dual-functional cosmetic for brightening and wrinkle improvement.

Who makes and distributes it?

Made in South Korea and distributed by Unibliss Co., Ltd.

What are the key ingredients and how much of each does it contain?

Sea buckthorn water 720,000 ppm (72%), tranexamic acid 30,000 ppm, MELAWAY 10,000 ppm (patented compound), niacinamide 20,000 ppm (2%), (-)-alpha-bisabolol 5,000 ppm (0.5%), adenosine 400 ppm and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid 100 ppm, plus glutathione and hippophae rhamnoides fruit extract.

How is it different from a pure vitamin C serum?

Its main brightening ingredient is tranexamic acid, an alternative to pure vitamin C that stays stable for up to 12 months after opening. It also contains a vitamin C derivative, 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid.

Is the serum vegan?

Yes. It is certified as a vegan product by the Vegan Standard Certification Institute.

Is it clinically tested?

Yes. In a human application test by Global Medical Research Center (18 Aug - 16 Sep 2025, 22 participants aged 30-59), general pigmentation was reduced by 26%, surface spots by 5.7% and deeper spots by 2.4% after 4 weeks of use. Individual results may vary.

How long until I see results?

In the clinical study the results above were measured after 4 weeks of use.

How do I use it?

Apply 2-3 drops evenly over the face and gently pat to enhance absorption.

Can I mix it with other serums?

You can layer it with other VVBETTER serums. We do not recommend combining it with skincare products that contain strong acids such as AHA or BHA, as this may cause irritation.

What if I have very sensitive or thin skin?

We do not recommend using all three Solution-line serums in the same routine. Use one serum in the morning and another in the evening instead.

Does it sting?

We built it on tranexamic acid instead of pure vitamin C, and it completed a skin low-irritation test. If your skin is sensitive, patch-test on the jawline for two nights first.

Can I use it with retinol or other acids?

Yes, but start by splitting them: this serum in the morning, retinol at night. We don't recommend layering it with strong AHA or BHA products in the same routine.

Morning or night?

Both. In the morning, follow with sunscreen — while you work on tone, sun protection matters as much as the serum.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

It is a cosmetic, not a medicine, but we can't give medical advice. Please check with your doctor first.

When will I see a change?

Texture and absorption from the first week. Tone is what our 4-week human application test measured, so give it four weeks of daily use.

Does it have fragrance?

No added fragrance. There is no perfume in the ingredient list; what you may notice is the light scent of the raw materials.

What makes this different from other Korean vitamin C serums?

It isn't built on pure vitamin C. The main active is tranexamic acid 3%, which stays stable for 12 months after opening, with vitamin C present only as a stable derivative. The base is 72% sea buckthorn water, not purified water.

Why "TRX"? Why the dinosaur?

Our main active is tranexamic acid. Say it out loud — tranexamic, tyrannosaurus. T. rex, TRX. The name came from the ingredient, not from marketing. Some customers just call it the dino serum.

There's white powder around the opening. Is that normal?

Yes. Tranexamic acid is in here at 3%, and when it meets air a little can crystallise around the neck. It's harmless — wipe it and keep using.

Can I use all three Solution serums together?

Yes. Succinic first, then Vita C TRX, then Bakuchiol PDRN — 2–3 drops of each — and sunscreen when you head out. If your skin is very sensitive or thin, use one serum per routine instead: for example Succinic in the morning and Vita C TRX at night.

Can I use it every day?

Yes. It completed a skin low-irritation test and is made for daily use, morning and night. Avoid layering it with other brands' high-strength AHA or BHA products in the same routine — especially BHA.

How should I store it, and how long does it keep?

Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Use within 12 months of opening; unopened, it keeps for 36 months from the date of manufacture.

What is MELAWAY™?

A patented complex from our ingredient supplier (Korean patent No. 10-2539209) made from white water lily flower, lemon myrtle leaf and apple extracts — a source of vitamins B and C. It's in the formula at 1% (10,000 ppm) of the complex raw material.

Is it a functional cosmetic in Korea?

Yes. It's registered with the Korean MFDS as a functional cosmetic for brightening and anti-wrinkle (notified July 2025). Niacinamide and alpha-bisabolol are the MFDS-listed brightening ingredients; adenosine is the MFDS-listed anti-wrinkle ingredient.
