Pigmentation & Spots
What is it for?

For pigmentation from hormonal cycles, sun exposure, freckles, and post-inflammatory marks left by old acne or scratches. Pigmentation Complex Serum is the first-line peptide treatment in the Ice Secret pigmentation range, calibrated to calm melanin overproduction at the cellular level — without retinol, hydroquinone, or aggressive acids. Among the rarest options in the SG/SEA market: a pigmentation treatment that's safe through pregnancy.

Behind the result: a freshly-mixed peptide formulation that signals cells to slow melanin overproduction at the source. Designed as the starting treatment in the pigmentation journey — if pigmentation hasn't responded after 30 days, escalate or stack with 07 Saffron Correcting Complex Serum (the second-line treatment for resistant pigmentation).

*Note: like all topical peptide treatments, this serum is not designed to dent deep dermal melasma. For melasma, dermatology consultation is the appropriate path.*

In one cycle:
• Fades hormonal pigmentation and dark patches
• Lightens freckles and sun-induced spots
• Reduces post-inflammatory pigmentation from old acne or scratches
• Pregnancy-safe — defensible USP in SG/SEA market
• First-line treatment — pairs with 07 Saffron Correcting for resistant cases
• Sealed with Super Renewal Serum for daily maintenance

How To Use

Pour the oligopeptide solution into the oligopeptide freeze-dried powder. Shake until completely combined and secure the bottle with the application cap. Apply 6–8 drops over the face, twice daily. Refrigerate between uses — finish within 7–10 days of opening; optimal freshness up to 30 days.

Optional — layer with any other Complex Serum or Renewal Serum to extend results.

For the signature Ice Secret booster ritual: layer this Complex Serum first, then any treatment mask of your choice on top, then a Renewal Serum to seal. The mask amplifies the serum during the 15–20 minute occlusive window — especially valuable during recovery phases (post-acne flare, post-sun, post-procedure).

INGREDIENTS

Oligopeptide solution: lysozyme; oligopeptide freeze-dried powder: oligopeptide-3, oligopeptide-2, water, mannitol, serum albumin, glycine max (soybean) polypeptide, disodium phosphate, sodium phosphate

FAQ

Q: Is it really safe during pregnancy?
A: Yes — and that's the defining USP. No retinol, no hydroquinone, no harsh acids. One of the rare pigmentation treatments suitable through pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Q: Will this treat melasma?
A: No. Like all topical peptide treatments, this serum is not designed to resolve deep dermal melasma. Melasma requires dermatology consultation (oral tranexamic acid, in-clinic treatments, etc.). For surface-level pigmentation — hormonal, sun-induced, post-acne — Pigmentation Complex Serum is the first-line treatment.

Q: How is this different from 07 Saffron Correcting?
A: Pigmentation Complex is the FIRST-LINE treatment — start here. 07 Saffron Correcting is the SECOND-LINE treatment for pigmentation that didn't respond after 30 days, or can be layered alongside Pigmentation Complex for combined action on resistant cases.

Q: How fast will I see results?
A: Most users see lighter patches around week 2–3. If pigmentation hasn't visibly responded by day 30, escalate to 07 Saffron Correcting Complex Serum.

Q: Will it cause photosensitivity?
A: No. Peptides don't cause sun sensitivity. Daily SPF is still essential — sun exposure undoes brightening work.

Q: Can I layer it with other serums?
A: Optional — layer with any other Complex Serum or Renewal Serum to extend results. Stacks particularly well with 07 Saffron Correcting Complex Serum for resistant pigmentation.
