Product details

This dermatologist-inspired Korean cream combines 7% Alpha Arbutin, 4% Tranexamic Acid, niacinamide and glutathione to visibly fade dark spots, acne marks, and uneven tone. Soothing ceramides and centella protect your barrier while they work, for smooth, luminous "glass skin" you can actually keep using.

How to use

  1. Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin — morning and night.

Real Customers, Real Results

Here's how Lux Cove is changing lives, one glowing complexion at a time.

Verified customer

"At 52 with dry, sensitive skin, I'm cautious with dark spot-specific products, but this one never irritated me. Lightweight, hydrating, absorbs fast, no pilling under sunscreen. Not a miracle cream, but my tone looks noticeably more even over time."

Verified customer

"Second tube I've bought, one of those rare products that does exactly what it claims. Fewer breakouts and itchy pustules, pigmentation noticeably reduced, and my skin is much brighter. I've even been getting compliments on looking younger and fresher. A tube lasts just over a month with once-daily use. Now a permanent fixture on my monthly shopping list."

"This is a really great product, feels really lightweight, fragrance free, absorbs amazing. The best part is that it actually does the work to brighten any hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone. I use it about every other day and saw results the next week. Highly recommend!"

"I liked this cream very much. Use it overnight before moisturiser. Works really well and is good value for money. Dark spots have started to fade as I do think arbutin makes a difference on top of TXA and niacinimide. Will buy again. Did not irritate my sensitive, dry and acne prone mature skin and absorbs really well."

"My face loves this, it gives me shine and hydration. I don't have skin problems, I just like a healthy glow. I'm 59 going on 60 and people always ask what makeup I'm using, but honestly it's just pink blush and lip gloss lol. I keep my face natural, no filters, no lashes or eyeliner (I wear glasses anyway, so what's the point). The dark spots I had months ago are gone. Worth the buy."

Verified customer

"I've been using this consistently and I'm really impressed. Lightweight, absorbs fast, no greasiness. After a few weeks, my dark spots and post-acne marks started fading, and my skin looks brighter and more even. Layers well with the rest of my routine with no irritation. Definitely repurchasing!"

What To Expect When Using Lux Cove

Week 1

Hydration & Barrier Prep

Niacinamide and ceramides reinforce your barrier while arbutin begins interrupting melanin production at the source.

You'll notice your skin feels softer and more hydrated, and your complexion looks fresher and more awake.

Week 2

Early Fading Begins

Tranexamic acid calms the signal that drives excess pigment, while arbutin slows new melanin from forming.

You'll notice post-acne marks start to lighten, redness from old breakouts begins to settle, dark spots look less sharp on the skin, and skin looks clearer and more luminous.

Week 3

Visible Tone Correction

Existing pigment sheds naturally while less new pigment forms, so the contrast between spots and skin keeps narrowing.

You’ll notice that stubborn dark spots are visibly softer, and patchy areas blend into natural skin tone. Skin texture feels smooth and more refined

Week 4

Even, Uniform Skin

One full skin renewal cycle is complete, pigment that took months to form is now visibly reduced across the whole face.

You'll notice dark spots & hyperpigmentation fade, skin tone looks noticeably more even and a overall brighter, healthier glow.

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

We're so confident you'll see visibly plumper, firmer skin that every order is backed by our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee.

If you don't feel your skin looks healthier, fresher and more radiant after giving it a fair try, simply contact us within 30 days for a full refund.
