Product overview

What it is

Night treatment. A lightweight, gentle skin-brightening formulation with illuminating botanical extracts. M8 nourishes while giving skin a soft glow — brightening, lessening dullness and refining texture for improved clarity.

Why you need it

Brightens the complexion and lessens dullness for improved clarity
Helps correct discoloration from scars and prevent hyperpigmentation and dark spots
Gently refines texture and improves product absorption
Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

A natural formulation — colour and scent can vary slightly between batches; efficacy is unaffected. Store below 30°C, away from heat and direct sunlight.

What's inside that counts

Kojic Acid inhibits the melanin formation behind dark spots and discoloration from scars; Citric Acid gently lifts dull surface cells to clear pores and even tone; Licorice Root smooths and refines; a stable Vitamin C derivative (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) and Q10 (Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone) add antioxidant, anti-ageing support; lemon, bilberry, orange, sugar cane and sugar maple extracts illuminate naturally.

How to use

Apply onto cleansed face and neck area — for night use only (after toner, and serum if you use one). Wear sunscreen (U1 HydraGlow SPF30) every morning while using M8: daytime UV undoes brightening work. If skin is reactive, start every other night.

✦ Barrier-first formula. Every active named, every function explained.

Why this step matters

Brightening is a night shift

Pigment correction works with your skin's overnight renewal cycle — and only on skin the actives can actually reach. Applied to a properly cleansed face at night, M8's Kojic Acid and Licorice Root work through the hours your skin does its own repair.

What supports it

A multi-pathway brightening approach

Kojic Acid helps interrupt the formation of dark spots.
Licorice Root and Vitamin C brighten and even tone.
CoQ10 (Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone) adds antioxidant defense.

Ingredients are the proof, not the point. The point is what your next step can finally do.

Good to know

Questions, answered straight

Why is it night use only?

M8's brightening actives — kojic acid with gentle fruit-acid exfoliation — do their work during the skin's overnight renewal. Freshly brightened skin also needs daytime protection, so the pairing is non-negotiable: M8 at night, sunscreen (U1) every morning.

Will it fade dark spots and acne marks?

That's its job: kojic acid inhibits the melanin formation behind dark spots and discoloration from scars, citric acid lifts dull surface cells, and licorice root refines texture. Change is gradual — weeks of consistent nightly use, with SPF by day so the sun doesn't undo the work.

Is it harsh? Can sensitive skin use it?

It's a gentle brightening formulation — chamomile and licorice soothe alongside the actives. If your skin is reactive, start every other night and build up, and patch test first behind the ear or on the inner arm.

Where does it go in my night routine?

On cleansed skin (after toner, and serum if you use one), applied to face and neck as your night treatment layer.

Can I use it with a vitamin C serum?

M8 already carries a stable vitamin C derivative (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) plus Q10 for antioxidant support — there's no need to layer more on top of it.

Why does the colour or scent vary between batches?

The botanical brighteners are natural extracts, so slight batch variation is normal and doesn't affect results. Store below 30°C, away from heat and direct sunlight.
