At Aminu, we constantly strive for transparency & being at the forefront of innovation. We are dedicated to maintaining the accuracy of the ingredient lists on this website and on other third-party websites.

For an accurate listing of ingredients in each product, please refer to your product packaging. We will never stop evolving and improving. That's our promise! 

Directions of use - Daily apply 3-4 drops evenly on clean face and neck. Apply the brightening face serum with your fingertips, first patting it on and then smoothing it out. Resist the temptation to massage and let the formula absorb on its own for 3-5 mins. After it is fully absorbed, can follow up with Aminu's moisturizer or oil of your choice. Complete the regime using sunscreen during the daytime. For best results use twice a day, both AM and PM (depending on skin's barrier tolerance). 

Some may experience a temporary warm or tingling sensation upon application depending on the skin barrier and tolerance levels. Generally low pH or acid/AHA’s in the products can tingle for few minutes, however this usually settles once the skin becomes acclimated.

Suggested Skin Regime - 

•  AM - Cleansing with gentle face wash  >  Correcting Concentrate  >  Moisturiser  > SPF 30+ 
•  PM - Double Cleanse  >  Correcting Concentrate  >  Repairing Moisturiser per your skin mood

Healthy skin always requires a healthy lifestyle in form of healthy diet, good sleep, enough water, regular detoxification and time spent in nature.

Always do a patch test before use - Apply a pea-size amount of this brightening face serum behind your ear or on elbow, cover the area and wait 24-48 hours. If you experience prolonged redness, itchiness, or irritation, the percentage of active botanicals may be too high for your skin. In this case, we recommend you to stop using the product. If you are using any prescription medicines and creams, please consult with your prescribing doctor before use. Please note the patch test will only give you some indication of initial reactions to products and does not take into account any underlying conditions. If you are concerned about use please consult your doctor.

We believe that our skin and skin type is not fixed and is constantly changing throughout our life. The skin, we experience on the surface is dependent on our diet, our hormonal state, the seasons, and our time of life. Given the right conditions and care, it has the ability to heal and regenerate itself. We believe that learning to tune into your skin’s changing needs is empowering. 

Pigmentation, discoloration, and dark spots are caused by external and internal factors which include sun exposure, hormonal changes, stress, allergies, and injury and pigmentation are not equal for every person. They are very stubborn and treating them is no quick fix. It requires multi-targeted brighteners and a complete routine with consistency. Use the required amount of SPF daily and compulsory, otherwise, the treatment will not yield the desired result. We always recommend using a separate SPF product, not the one that can be mixed or products with combined SPF. Reapply every 2-3hours. 

AHA/BHAs, retinol and retinoids, scrubs, exfoliants usually have a higher chance of causing irritation if used incorrectly depending on your skin’s condition. If you are prone to reactions or have sensitive skin, avoid these.
