Biolight: A Home Routine for Dull, Uneven Skin
In short: after a Biolight Miracle Facial, keep the first few days gentle, then follow a simple Biolight routine at home: cleanse, tone and apply the Skin Correct Serum morning and night, add the Daytime Protection Cream in the morning and the Overnight Cream at night, and finish every morning with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Dark spots and an uneven-looking tone change slowly, so consistency and sun protection matter more than any single product. This guide sets out the Biolight Repêchage home regimen step by step.
What the Biolight range is for
Biolight is the Repêchage collection for dull skin and an uneven-looking tone, including dark spots. It is built on the Laminaria Complex, which pairs two seaweeds, Laminaria digitata and Ascophyllum nodosum, with botanical extracts such as licorice root, gotu kola and willow bark. In the salon, the same collection is used in the Biolight Miracle Facial, a professional brightening facial that includes a mild glycolic peel with fruit acids.

The first days after your facial
The Biolight Miracle Facial includes a peel, so give your skin a short rest before you start a full routine:
- Follow any aftercare advice from the professional who treated you; it comes first.
- For the first few days, keep to a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer and sunscreen.
- Avoid scrubs, exfoliating masks and other acids until your skin feels completely comfortable.
- Stay out of strong sun, and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.
Our guide to the enzyme peel vs glycolic peel explains the Biolight Glyco-Sea Glycolic Peel used in the facial and how to look after skin afterwards.

How to use each step
- Cleanser: massage onto damp skin, focusing on areas of concern, and rinse with lukewarm water. Take care near the eyes.
- Toner: saturate a cotton pad and sweep it across the skin after cleansing.
- Skin Correct Serum: apply evenly after cleansing and toning. The label recommends it twice daily, in the morning and before bed, layered under the Daytime Protection Cream in the morning.
- Eye gel: apply around the eye contour with light tapping from your ring or index finger, morning and night.
- Daytime Protection Cream: apply after the serum in the morning. It does not state an SPF, so it does not replace sunscreen.
- Overnight Cream: at night, apply to a cleansed face with upward and outward strokes. It can also be massaged into the neck and chest.

Start small with the Biolight Starter Kit
The Biolight Starter Kit brings together the cleanser, toner, serum, day cream and overnight cream in smaller sizes. It is a practical way to follow the full routine for a few weeks and see how your skin responds before buying full sizes. The full collection is on the Biolight page.
Exfoliation: when to add it back
Once your skin has settled after the facial, gentle exfoliation once or twice a week can help skin look smoother and brighter. Options in the Repêchage range include the One-Minute Exfoliating Mask and Rapidex Marine and Alpha Hydroxy Acid Rapid Exfoliator. Use one exfoliant at a time, never on the same day as another, and stop if your skin stings. Our guide to how to exfoliate your face explains the options.

Sun protection: the step that decides results
Sun exposure is one of the main reasons dark spots and tan appear and return. Every morning, finish your routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, reapply it when you are outdoors, and use shade and a hat in strong sun. Without daily sun protection, a brightening routine has to work against new pigment every day. For more on tan, see our guide to how to remove tan from the face.
What to expect, and when to come back
- Skin may feel smoother and look fresher within the first weeks of a consistent routine.
- Dark spots and an uneven-looking tone change slowly, usually over months rather than weeks, and results vary from person to person.
- Your professional will advise how often to repeat the Biolight Miracle Facial for your skin.
- If a dark patch changes shape, grows, or does not respond, see a dermatologist.
