What roll-on buyers say

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…Underarms

"I’ve started working out more and so I’ve been more aware of the hyperpigmentation under my armpits. I reached out to Skinstem who were incredibly efficient with replies. They suggested this roll on. Day one I did a skin patch test. And the following day I started using it as per the instruction, 4 days in (ie 7 applications in) I already see remarkable changes! I’ll definitely continue buying this."

"It’s been 7 days of using it but hey I’m seeing some changes on my bikini areas. The dark marks from shaving are becoming lighter daily. It’s worth it because for years i have been trying to figure out what I can use on bikini areas."

What's in the bundle

One fades the dark marks you have. One looks after the skin you shave.

One fades the dark marks you already have. The other looks after all the skin you shave or wax, so it stays smooth and even. Bought together, you pay less than buying them one by one.

Smooth & Brighten Body Serum

Smooths the skin you shave or wax

Why they work together

Dark marks keep coming back where you shave or wax, because shaving irritates the skin

If you have been layering concealer or hiding your underarms, this is usually why. Dark marks work in a loop, wherever you get them.

  1. 1You shave or wax.
  2. 2The skin gets irritated.
  3. 3Irritated skin makes extra pigment.
  4. 4A dark mark shows up. Then you shave again, and it starts over.

It happens on your bikini line. It happens on your underarms, your knees, your inner thighs, and anywhere a breakout has been.

So there are two jobs: smooth the skin you shave, and fade the marks already there

The Smooth and Brighten Body Serum on the left and the Body Brightening Roll-On Serum on the right
SMOOTHSthe skin you shaveFADESthe marks you have

The serum looks after the skin you shave. A little salicylic acid helps clear the dead skin that can trap hairs, aloe soothes, and niacinamide and vitamin C help the skin look more even.

The roll-on works on the result. 5% tranexamic acid, applied straight onto the marks, twice a day.

Neither one does the other's job. That's why we sell them together.

Where to use it

Use both on dark marks in all 9 of these places

There are so many products for your face, and almost nothing for the dark marks on your body.

Dark marks are not a bikini-line problem. They turn up on your underarms from shaving, your knees and elbows from everyday friction, your back and booty after a breakout, and your inner thighs from skin rubbing against skin.

Both products in this bundle go anywhere you have them. They are also gentle enough to use on the outer skin of your vulva area. Never inside.

From the pharmacist

Shaista Sophia struggled with dark marks from the age of 14. She made both of these.

Dark marks show up where you shave, wax or rub. They're normal. Most people just don't say so.

FAQ

Questions about the bundle

Why do I need both?

You can use either one on its own, but they do different jobs. The roll-on fades the dark marks you already have. The serum looks after all the skin you shave or wax: it helps the skin look more even and feel smooth, and gently clears the dead skin that can trap hairs. One without the other does half the job.

Can I use them at the same time?

Yes. Shaista rolls the roll-on onto each dark mark first, lets it dry, then smooths the serum over it. You can switch the order if you prefer. Let it dry before you get dressed.

Will using both irritate my skin?

A pharmacist made both for body skin and the outer skin of the vulva area. If you are new to products like these, start with each one once a day, then build the roll-on up to twice a day. Patch test each one first, and stop if your skin gets irritated.

I already have Skinstem's serum. Should I buy this?

If you already have the serum, buy the roll-on on its own. This bundle is for people starting from scratch, or who only have the exfoliator and cream.

How long does the bundle last?

It depends on where you use them and how often. The more places you use them on, the sooner you'll need more.

Will this lighten my natural skin tone?

No. Both work on the look of marks left by irritation, ingrown hairs and breakouts. Neither one bleaches or changes your natural skin tone.

Can I use these anywhere on my body?

Yes, both of them: underarms, bikini line, inner thighs, knees, elbows, back, booty and face. Both are also safe on the outer skin of your vulva area. Never inside.

When will I see a difference?

The skin you shave can feel smoother in the first week or two. Your skin tone can start to look more even around week 4. Stubborn dark marks take 8 to 12 weeks of daily use.

Can I use them after waxing or shaving?

Wait 24 to 48 hours after you wax or shave. Never use them on broken or irritated skin.

Will they work on dark skin?

Yes. Their main ingredients are widely used on dark marks left by irritation or pimples, on all skin tones.

What if it stings?

A light tingle the first time can happen. Burning, redness or itching is not normal. Stop and email info@skinstem.co.za.

Is the roll-on a deodorant?

No. It looks like one, but it won't stop sweat or smell. It's a roll-on so it goes exactly onto your dark mark.

Pregnant or breastfeeding?

Ask your doctor first.
