Pigmentation Booster Set: Fade Spots, Even Tone & Boost Radiance—Smart, Simple, Effective
Meet the Pigmentation Booster—a focused four-step routine designed to visibly reduce dark spots, smooth texture, and reveal a brighter, more even-looking complexion. The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA (30ml) targets the look of hyperpigmentation while hydrating; The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% (30ml) refines tone and texture with a gentle brightening boost; The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (30ml) helps minimize the look of pores and blotchiness while supporting the barrier; and Purophi Peeling Depigmenting Blemish & Dark Spot Gel (30ml) provides disciplined exfoliation to keep discoloration moving in the right direction. Together, they deliver a cadence that’s easy to follow and hard to overdo—exfoliate → correct → rebalance → protect (SPF, not included but essential).
Built around alpha arbutin, azelaic acid, niacinamide + zinc, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and gentle resurfacing acids (formula-dependent), this set suits normal, combination, and oily skin—and works for dry/sensitive skin with sensible pacing.
The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA – 30ml

Purophi Peeling Depigmenting Blemish & Dark Spot Gel – 30ml
Disciplined exfoliation to accelerate clarity.
A targeted depigmenting peel gel (formula-dependent AHA/BHA/brightening complex) to lift dull surface buildup, encourage even cell turnover, and support faster fading of visible dark spots—without aggressive scrubbing.
Key Ingredients (formula-dependent):
- AHA/BHA blend: Polishes the surface and helps decongest pores for a brighter, smoother look.
- Brightening helpers (e.g., mandelic/kojic/azelaic derivatives): Assist in reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
- Humectants/soothers: Keep the peel step comfortable and reduce post-use tightness.
Benefits:
- Improves light reflection for an instant “clearer” look
- Helps fade the appearance of spots more efficiently with regular use

Best Practices: Your Simple Daily Routine
Morning (AM)
- Cleanse (gentle, pH-balanced).
- Rebalance: Apply Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% (2–4 drops).
- Brighten: Layer Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA (2–4 drops).
- Moisturize as needed.
- Protect: Finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30+ (crucial—UV deepens dark spots). Reapply every 2 hours outdoors.
Evening (PM)
- Peel Nights (2–4×/week):
- Cleanse → 2) Purophi Peeling Depigmenting Gel (per directions; rinse or leave-on as specified) → 3) Niacinamide → 4) Moisturize (optional).
- Non-Peel Nights:
- Cleanse → 2) Niacinamide → 3) Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% → 4) Moisturize (optional).
- Alpha Arbutin can be used AM and/or PM (skip immediately after the peel if you’re sensitive).
Pacing & Pairing Tips
- Start the peel 2×/week; increase as tolerated.
- If you feel tight, layer Alpha Arbutin over Niacinamide for an extra hydrating cushion.
- Avoid layering Azelaic Acid on the same night as a stronger peel if you’re easily irritated—alternate instead.
The Power of Ingredients — Why They Work
- Alpha Arbutin: A hydroquinone derivative known for visibly reducing hyperpigmentation by interfering with excess melanin appearance—gentle enough for daily use.
- Azelaic Acid (10%): Multifunction brightener/refiner that helps even tone, reduce the look of redness, and refine texture—well tolerated across skin types.
- Niacinamide (10%): Supports barrier lipids, improves the appearance of pores and blotchiness, and complements brighteners for a more uniform-looking tone.
- Zinc (1%): Offers balancing benefits for oil-prone areas, helping the canvas look smoother.
- AHA/BHA (Peeling Gel): AHAs lift dead cells to improve light reflection; BHAs reach into oil-lined pores to loosen debris—together, they make dark spots look less stark and help follow-up actives work more efficiently.
- Hyaluronic Acid + Humectants: Pull water into the stratum corneum, improving tolerance and keeping skin supple while brightening.
Additional Advantages of This Routine
- Non-stripping approach: Hydrating layers keep actives comfortable for daily consistency.
- Seasonless flexibility: In dry months, add a gel-cream after serums; in humid months, keep it lightweight.
- Makeup synergy: Smoother texture and more uniform tone mean less base product needed; serums won’t ball up under SPF when layered thinly.
- Targeted spot strategy: Use Alpha Arbutin as an all-over layer and dab a tiny extra drop on isolated marks.
Troubleshooting & Pro Tips
- Tingling from peel nights? Cut frequency to 1–2×/week, then build up; follow with Niacinamide to calm.
- Dryness or tightness? Sandwich actives between hydrating layers (e.g., Alpha Arbutin before and a light moisturizer after Azelaic).
- Stubborn spots? Stay diligent with AM/PM Alpha Arbutin, use the peel consistently, and never skip SPF—UV exposure re-darkens spots.
- Pilling under makeup? Use thinner coats, let each layer set 60 seconds, press—not rub—foundation over sunscreen.
- Very reactive skin? Alternate: AM Niacinamide → Arbutin → SPF; PM Azelaic only on non-peel nights, moisturize as needed.
Who Will Love the Pigmentation Booster Set?
- Post-blemish PIH and sun-related uneven tone seeking visible fade
- Combination/oily skin needing smoother texture and more uniform clarity
- Sensitive-leaning users who want brightening without heavy, irritating actives
- Minimalists who prefer purposeful steps with strong synergy
