Brand note
Dr. Vanita Rattan is a brand built around pigmentation concerns for skin of color, with kits that pack multiple tyrosinase inhibitors into targeted routines. The founder is transparent about the price point — £110 per kit — and that these aren't a first step, so they're for someone already committed to treating hyperpigmentation. The Antioxidant Power Serum gets a mixed review from the creator: the formula (retinol, retinaldehyde, vitamin C, no irritants) is solid, but the packaging is a dealbreaker, and she wouldn't recommend it for face use despite loving the formula itself.
