Natural AHAs and soft exfoliant beads sweep away dull skin cells.
Regular exfoliation and salicylic acid help trapped hairs surface between sessions.
Vitamin C and glutathione help even the look of dark marks.
Aloe, hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 soothe and lock in moisture.
Natural AHAs and soft exfoliant beads sweep away dull skin and build-up, so regrowth has room to come through.
In the shower, 2–3 times a week. Rinse well and follow with the serum once skin is dry.
The formulas are designed to be gentle, but Skinstem recommends waiting 24 hours after a hair-removal procedure before first use.
V-Serum focuses on marks left behind by shaving, waxing and friction, helping restore your own even tone.
No. The kit targets post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It won't bleach or change genetically determined melanin, only help restore your original even tone.
Smoothness is often felt after the first exfoliation. Tone-evening typically shows after 2–4 weeks of consistent use; deeper marks may need 8–12 weeks. Results vary.
Body lotion isn't made for the bikini line. V-Cream soothes after hair removal and supports the skin barrier.
Ingredients meet EU safety norms for leave-on cosmetics. Because the kit contains salicylic acid (≤ 0.5%), please consult your healthcare provider during pregnancy.
External use only, on the bikini line and outer V-area. Patch test first and stop using if irritation occurs.
