Description
The Dark Spot Serum with Kojic Acid by Unnamed Cosmetics is a targeted treatment with 1% Kojic Acid for dark spots, hyperpigmentation and specific discolouration. A concentrated formula in a 15ml format ideal for spot-on application — where you need it, at the concentration you need.
Kojic acid, derived from the fermentation of koji mushrooms, inhibits tyrosinase (the enzyme that produces melanin). The result is a gradual, safe reduction of dark spots. Combined with stable vitamin C, vitamin E, sea buckthorn oil and rosemary and paprika extracts.
Recommended for: localised dark spots, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, post-acne marks, sun spots, treatment of specific spots.
Beauty without labels. Clinical-grade brightening in a clean format.

Key Ingredients
Key Ingredients
- 1% Kojic Acid — derived from koji mushroom fermentation. Inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. The result: gradual reduction of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
- Oil-Soluble Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate) — a powerful antioxidant that boosts the brightening action and illuminates the skin.
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — stabilises vitamin C and protects the lipid barrier.
- Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil (Hippophae Rhamnoides) — omega 7, beta-carotene and vitamin E. Repairs, brightens and nourishes.
- Organic Rosemary Extract (Rosmarinus Officinalis) — antioxidant and antibacterial, complements the anti-pigmentation action.
- Organic Paprika Extract (Capsicum Annuum) — stimulates local microcirculation, improves skin oxygenation.
- Organic Jojoba Oil — nourishment akin to the skin's natural sebum, non-comedogenic.
- Organic Sunflower Oil — omega 6 and vitamin E, a nourishing base.
- Betaine + Sodium PCA — humectants for deep hydration.
How to Use
How to Use
- At night only, on clean, dry skin.
- Apply a small amount directly onto the spots.
- Don't spread it over the rest of the face: it's a spot-on targeted treatment.
- Massage gently until absorbed.
- Follow with a suitable moisturiser.
- During the day, SPF is MANDATORY. Kojic acid increases photosensitivity, and without sun protection there are no visible results.
Complete Unnamed routine — complementary products:
- Cleanse with the Cleansing Milk or the Cleansing Foam.
- For overall treatment of multiple spots: Even Tone Dark Spot Serum (alpha-arbutin) over the whole face, and this kojic serum spot-on over the darkest marks.
- For a daily anti-spot cream: Kojic Acid Dark Spot Cream (50ml for facial use).
- In the morning, apply the Energising Vitamin C Serum for anti-spot synergy.
- To reinforce tone evening, also consider the Niacinamide Hydrating Gel.
- SPF is NON-NEGOTIABLE: Mineral Sunscreen SPF50.
- At night, alternate with the Retinol Alternative Serum to speed up cell renewal.
A Tip from Your Expert Friend
A Tip from Your Expert Friend
"Dark spots are a marathon, not a sprint. 4-6 weeks to see subtle improvements. 8-12 weeks for visible results. 6 months to fade deep spots. Anyone who promises 'goodbye spots in 7 days' is lying to you — skin physiology doesn't work like that."
"And pay attention to this: without daily SPF, no brightening treatment works. Every UV ray on skin under treatment triggers new melanin and reinforces the existing spots. It's like rowing against the tide. Make that morning step a religion."
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this serum (1%) and the Dark Spot Cream?
This 15ml serum has 1% kojic acid for spot-on targeted treatment of specific marks. The Dark Spot Cream 50ml is for application over the whole face, hydrating while it treats. They're complementary.
How soon will I see results?
Superficial spots: 4-6 weeks. Deep spots (melasma, post-acne): 8-12 weeks. Sustained results: 3-6 months of continuous use + daily SPF.
Can I combine it with retinol or vitamin C?
Yes, at different times. Vitamin C in the morning (anti-spot synergy). Kojic at night (this serum). Retinol on alternate nights. Never all three in the same step.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
1% kojic is the entry-level concentration, better tolerated. On very reactive skin, start with application on alternate days during the first week.
Can it be used during pregnancy?
Although no contraindications are established for kojic acid in pregnancy, we always recommend consulting your healthcare professional before brightening treatments during pregnancy.
Can it be used by men?
Yes. Unnamed is genderless. Effective for men with sun spots or post-acne marks.
