The SKIN1004 Tone Brightening Dark Spot Ampoule Pad is a dual-sided brightening pad that combines five separate dark spot-fighting mechanisms into one step. Each pad is soaked in a brightening essence, and comes with a textured gauze side for gentle exfoliation and a smooth side for essence delivery — making it a toner, exfoliant, and brightening serum in one.

The brightening system is built on MadeWhite™ — SKIN1004's proprietary Centella-derived complex (Centella Asiatica Extract 1,900ppm + Madecassoside) — combined with Niacinamide at 5% (the 2nd ingredient). These two together interrupt melanin production and block melanin transfer to the skin surface. Vitamin C Complex (stable 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid + direct Ascorbic Acid) fades existing spots and shields against UV-triggered new ones, with Ferulic Acid included specifically to stabilise and amplify the Vitamin C by 2×. Kojic Acid suppresses the melanin-producing enzyme. Glutathione converts dark melanin to lighter melanin and reduces existing oxidised pigmentation.

Six HA forms, Ceramide NP, Panthenol, and Hydroxyethyl Urea ensure the brightening actives work on well-hydrated, supported skin — preventing the dryness or sensitivity that high-active brightening products sometimes cause. Turmeric, Coral Weed (Corallina Officinalis), Neem, and Holy Basil provide antioxidant depth. Clinical testing (Korea Dermatology Research Institute, 2025): 36.8% reduction in pigmented spot size, 52.6% improvement in skin tone evenness, 41.3% reduction in dark spot intensity, 37.8% improvement in radiance.

Fragrance-free. For all skin types. 60 pads.

1. 01After cleansing, use as the first step in your routine — before serum and moisturiser. AM, PM, or both.
2. 02Gauze side first: gently swipe the textured side across the face (avoiding the eye area) to remove dead skin and help the actives absorb better.
3. 03Smooth side second: pat the smooth side gently over the face to press in the brightening essence.
4. 04Continue with your serum and moisturiser. Always use SPF in the morning — brightening actives increase photosensitivity.
