hihi everyone, I hope all is well. Today I have a full review of the Supradafe hyperpigmentation serum I finished last month
Suprafade is the first product from HUE, a black owned skincare brand based in the UK. The promise is “A serum formulated with 7 active ingredients and antioxidants working synergistically to target the signs and causes of hyperpigmentation, discolouration and dullness. Engineered to be gentle enough for nightly use, our formula starts working in as little as two weeks. To ensure maximum efficacy and results, we always use ingredients at their active level. “
Experience
I introduced this to my routine on 9/6 very slowly. In the first week I used it once then twice in the 2nd week- I do this to prevent any irritation when starting new products. I started using nightly from 23/6. I finished the product 20/8. I experienced no issues with the serum.
Suprafade has no noticeable scent and I didnt find it particularly hydrating. It layers well with other serums with no pilling and works well with retinol ( I use MEdik8’s r-Retinoate® Intense) and acids with no issue
The serum has really big claims, on the website they claim: In a consumer study, participants agreed that there was a dramatic improvement in hyperpigmentation within 6 weeks. 2 weeks- 80% agreed skin tone was more even. 4 weeks- dark spots were obviously reduced. 6 weeks- complexion was significantly more even
For me the experience was very different, by 4 week I couldn’t really tell if my dark spots were fading or not, infact by the time I finished the bottle I was still on the fence. June to Aug were bad skin months for me, I had a lot of texture and spots that led to new hyperpigmentation. I’m not sure if the serum helped deal with that. I had 2 old spots I really wanted to target with the serum and to me they dont look any better.
Mark 1 is an old hyperpigmentation spot Ive been trying to get rid of and it was what I wanted Hue to target. I can barely tell the difference by the 20th when I finished the serum. Mark 2 looks slightly better but 3 is also confusing, Im not sure if there was any improvement. Other areas of my face are also the same I can barely see a difference.
I do like the texture of the serum, its very lightweight and it pairs well with other products. Whilst its not the most hydrating serum out there it is ok. I also like the pump jar it came in.
Verdict
To be totally honest, I’m disappointed with the serum. I saw so many good reviews and improvements from other people but I really cant tell if the serum did anything for me. I did have bad skin this summer as I have new pigmentation spots to treat but I wanted the serum to target older spots I had. Side by side pictures tell me there was hardly any improvements. the newer pigmentation spots look slightly improved? Im not even sure
Will I repurchase? Honestly I did consider it because perhaps I needed more time with it? however after 8 weeks of daily use and not seeing major improvements, I didn’t want to spend another £52 on it plus shipping. I wont repurchase.

This advent calendar is one of the biggest Christmas hot properties and I always get so many questions about it!! Right here I have all the information including price, contents and release date for the Jo Malone London Advent Calendar 2024. Enjoy!
So! In my eyes, this is the Advent Calendar that made Advent Calendars BIG NEWS! And I will be forever grateful! In case you hadn’t noticed, I am thoroughly obsessed with this genre!

The Jo Malone London Advent Calendar 2024 has 25 goodies. Until 2022, it was always 24! The selection of gifts range from colognes, miniature candles, bath & body miniatures, a travel candle and a 30ml festive fragrance.
The 2024 Jo Malone London Advent Calendar contains:
The calendar is set to launch online online from the 23rd September at Jo Malone London*.
This year the price is £360 (€415), which is a £10 increase on the 2023 price. I will confirm the value of the contents as soon as I can.

What I love about this advent calendar every year is how beautifully it is made. The box is super sturdy and feels expensive, as if no expense has been spared. This makes it thoroughly reuseable, and this year’s edition is so beautiful, you would never want to throw it away.
I think it contains a really great mix of products, with 3 mini candles and also a travel candle, and everyone loves a candle at Christmas. The travel size one is Orange Bitter and that is the perfect Christmas home scent.
I’m very happy to see the classics in there like Blackberry & Bay, Lime Basil & Mandarin and English Pear & Freesia, along with the Red Hibiscus Cologne Intense which was a 2024 launch and very lovely. My review is linked.
The Advent Calendar also contains a 9ml bottle of the new Jo Malone scent for Christmas, which is Fir & Artemisia Cologne. I am excited to share more with you on that soon.
Stay tuned for the 2024 video!
