How to use:
- Cleanse and pat dry.
- Apply 2–3 drops, gently pressing into the skin.
- Follow with your regular moisturiser.
- Use thrice weekly in the evening.
Expert Note: Keep this night strictly simple — no acids, no retinol, no Vitamin C on the same evening. The Cica Shots formula is doing precision repair work; layering aggressive actives over it undermines the recovery process.
Key Active Ingredients:
| Ingredient |
What It Does For You |
| Nonapeptide-1 |
Targets melanin production at the source — fading existing dark spots and preventing new ones from forming with consistent daily use. |
| Centella Asiatica Stem Cell Exosomes |
Triggers deep skin repair at a cellular level — rebuilding damaged, uneven skin from within for results that go beyond surface brightening. |
| Aloe Vera |
Calms inflammation immediately — breaking the redness-to-pigmentation cycle before it can settle into a dark spot. |
| Hyaluronic Acid |
Restores deep skin hydration — improving overall skin quality and making pigmentation appear visibly less pronounced. |
| Green Tea Extract |
Neutralises UV and pollution-triggered damage — preventing the oxidative stress that leads to uneven tone and dullness over time. |

FAQ:
Q: Can I use this every night?
A: We recommend thrice weekly — this allows the peptides and recovery actives to work at their optimal intensity without over-stimulating the skin. On other nights, keep to your regular serum and moisturiser routine.
Q: Will it help with PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) from acne?
A: Yes. Nonapeptide-1 specifically targets the melanin production pathway — making it effective for PIH from both acne and treatment-related inflammation. Pair with Tranexaglow on non-treatment nights for a comprehensive pigmentation protocol.
