What the V-Kit works on

  • Smoother-feeling skin

    Natural AHAs and soft exfoliant beads sweep away dull skin cells.

  • Fewer-looking ingrowns

    Regular exfoliation and salicylic acid help trapped hairs surface between sessions.

  • More even-looking tone

    Vitamin C and glutathione help even the look of dark marks.

  • Comfort after hair removal

    Aloe, hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 soothe and lock in moisture.

Smoother from the first exfoliation

Natural AHAs and soft exfoliant beads sweep away dull skin and build-up, so regrowth has room to come through.

How often should I exfoliate?

In the shower, 2–3 times a week. Rinse well and follow with the serum once skin is dry.

Can I use it right after waxing?

The formulas are designed to be gentle, but Skinstem recommends waiting 24 hours after a hair-removal procedure before first use.

Brighten, without changing who you are

V-Serum focuses on marks left behind by shaving, waxing and friction, helping restore your own even tone.

Will it lighten my natural skin tone?

No. The kit targets post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It won't bleach or change genetically determined melanin, only help restore your original even tone.

When will I notice a difference?

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.

Calm, comfortable skin every day

Body lotion isn't made for the bikini line. V-Cream soothes after hair removal and supports the skin barrier.

Is it safe to use during pregnancy?

Ingredients meet EU safety norms for leave-on cosmetics. Because the kit contains salicylic acid (≤ 0.5%), please consult your healthcare provider during pregnancy.

Where exactly do I apply it?

External use only, on the bikini line and outer V-area. Patch test first and stop using if irritation occurs.
