Application: Before moisturizer, following your product label
Best for: Visible brown spots and uneven-looking skin tone
When the spot stays long after the breakout is gone.
A brown mark can linger after a blemish, and sun-related spots can make an otherwise smooth complexion look uneven. Functionalab Spot Corrector is a serum designed to reduce the appearance of pigmentation and bring more uniformity to the way your skin looks.
Its formula combines marine-derived Brighlette, Canadian white-pine extract and a vitamin C derivative. This is a gradual skincare step rather than an overnight spot eraser. If a mark is new, changing or different from your other spots, have it assessed before treating it as a cosmetic concern.

How to use Functionalab Spot Corrector
- Apply to cleansed skin according to the directions on your bottle.
- Follow with moisturizer.
- Use sunscreen each morning and reapply as directed.
Pigmented marks and indented acne scars are different concerns. This serum is intended for the appearance of tone, not to remove the depth of a scar.
Clinical studies and supplier testing:
The supplier’s results graphic describes a three-month protocol with twice-daily application and an average participant age of 49. Functionalab reports reductions in the number and size of visible dark spots. These are manufacturer-reported cosmetic outcomes. They should not be interpreted as removal of every type of pigmentation or as a substitute for assessment of a changing skin lesion.
