AXIS-Y x SKIN CUPID 5-Step Dark Spot Remover Routine

Skin Cupid has partnered up with Axis-Y to glow you your complexion. We have carefully curated a 5-step routine designed to suit all skin types, with the focus on brightening dark spots and pigmentation, and evening out skin texture. 

Rest assured, this routine has been trialed and tested over months. In fact, back in June 2022 we launched a Cupid Reviews scheme and selected a few lucky individuals from hundreds of applicants at random to participate in reviewing this set. They have been diligent in uploading their reviews and before/after pictures for over 2 months. Scroll right to see their results!

So what's in the routine? 

Step 1: AXIS-Y Sunday Morning Refreshing Cleansing Foam (120ml)

This gentle and pH balancing cleansing foam (pH 5.5) is formulated with Axis-Y's patented technology 'Aquaxyl' that effectively cleanses the skin from dirt, excess oils and other external and bacterial impurities from the pores whilst keeping the skin moisturised and balanced. The formula has double the amount of star ingredients Birch Sap, as well as Perilla Leaf Extract, Rice Bran, and Heartleaf to leave your skin supple and dewy.

Step 2: AXIS-Y Daily Purifying Treatment Toner (200ml)

This purifying toner clears out stubborn impurities such as bacteria and pollution rooted deeply into pores, calming down reoccurring acne and inflammation. The natural formula helps relax the skin and induce cell turnover which repair the skin barrier. Suitable for those with prominent pores, uneven texture, congestion and acne-prone skin. This toner will make your skin feel renewed and refreshed after usage.

Step 3: AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum (50ml)

The ultimate brightening serum that has shown proven results in fading dark spots and hyperpigmentation. It contains 5% Niacinamide, Rice Bran and plant-derived Squalane that brightens, softens, hydrates and leaves the skin looking radiant. This multitasking product also improves uneven skin tones and tackles dull skin. The texture is lightweight and sinks into the skin nicely, which is perfect for all skin types.

Step 4: AXIS-Y Cera-Heart My Type Duo Cream (60ml)

One of a kind customisable moisturiser that cares for your skin all year round, no matter the season! The cream is split into two halves, U-Zone and T-Zone that makes it easy to alter your skincare routine to suit your needs and the season:

T-Zone: Lightweight gel texture that helps deliver moisture and control excess oil production for the oilier regions. *See ingredient list for highlights.

U-Zone: Creamy texture that helps seal in the moisture and protect the skin from environmental aggressors. *See ingredient list for highlights.

Cupid tips on how to best use this moisturiser:

Tip 1: For those with combination skin types, you can mix and match the two sides. Use the T-Zone for your oilier forehead and nose areas, and the U-Zone Cream for dryer areas such as the cheeks. 

Tip 2: For all skin types, you can use the T-Zone side in the morning when you want a lightweight finish, and in the evening use the U-Zone to lock in the moisture and nutrients from your skincare routine, and look like a glazed donut!

Tip 3: This cream is also perfect for different seasons, with the T-Zone great for the hot and humid weather and U-Zone great for colder, dryer days. 

Paraben-free, Mineral-Oil free, and no artificial fragrances nor colouring

Step 5: AXIS-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (50ml)

One of K-Beauty's most loved physical/mineral sunscreens, this lightweight SPF effectively protects the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Featuring Mugwort Extract, Squalane and 2% Niacinamide, this product is packed with a multitude of benefits such as brightening, healing and anti-aging properties. 

Best of all, it is formulated with reef safe ingredients that leaves no white-cast, stickiness, or pilling (which is very rare for a physical sunscreen!). Produced with effective technology 'Syn-Coll', a special peptide sequence that recreates the body's collagen production recreating anti aging effects
