The 2-Minute Glow Ritual
STEP 1: Cleanse (2 minutes)
Wet your skin with warm water. Take one Alyra kojic pad and work it gently over your affected area in slow circular motions.
STEP 2: Let it penetrate (5 minutes)
Leave the formula on your skin for 5 minutes before rinsing. This is where the brightening happens, kojic acid needs contact time to interrupt melanin production at the source. Use this time to brush your teeth or relax.
STEP 3: Rinse & moisturise
Rinse with cool water and follow immediately with your moisturiser. Your skin will feel noticeably softer and smoother from the very first use. Don't skip this step, kojic acid works hard, so your skin deserves the hydration.
Morning users: SPF is non-negotiable. Kojic acid increases your skin's sensitivity to UV light. Apply SPF 30 or higher every morning, this protects your results and prevents new pigmentation from forming.
Start by using it 3 times a week and slowly increase use to once daily. Consistency is everything.

Why Waiting Costs More Than You Think
Pigmentation doesn't pause while you decide.
Every month the inflammatory signal driving your dark marks stays active, more melanin gets produced. The longer that cycle runs unchecked, the deeper the pigment sets and the harder it becomes to shift.
Most brightening routines only target the visible mark. They fade the surface while the trigger underneath keeps firing. That's why the marks come back.
If your spots are still fading and returning, your skin's pigment signaling is still correctable. But the longer the loop runs, the more stubborn it becomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work on my skin tone?
Will this work on my skin tone?
Yes. The Alyra pads are formulated to work across all skin tones, including deeper melanin-rich skin. Kojic acid regulates pigment production rather than stripping colour, it targets overactive melanin, not your natural complexion.
Will it bleach or lighten my natural skin colour?
Will it bleach or lighten my natural skin colour?
No. Kojic acid works by interrupting the signal that causes excess melanin to form in specific areas. It corrects where pigment is overproduced, it does not change your overall skin tone.
Any side effects?
Any side effects?
Some sensitivity is possible if your skin barrier is compromised. We've included panthenol specifically to minimise this. If you have very sensitive skin, start with every three days and build up. Discontinue use if irritation persists.
I've tried brightening products before and they didn't work. Why is this different?
I've tried brightening products before and they didn't work. Why is this different?
Most brightening products only target visible surface pigment. The marks come back because the inflammatory trigger underneath is still active. The Alyra pads work on the pigment signalling loop, not just what's visible on top.
How long until I see results?

How do I use the pads?
How do I use the pads?
Wet your skin, sweep one pad over the area in gentle circular motions for 2 minutes, leave on for 5 minutes, then rinse. Follow with moisturiser every time. SPF in the morning is non-negotiable.
Can I use it with other skin care products?
Can I use it with other skin care products?
Yes, the Alyra pads fit easily into an existing routine. Use them as your cleansing step, then layer your other products on top as normal. The only things to be mindful of: avoid using alongside other strong actives like retinol or AHAs on the same application, as this can cause irritation. And if you're using the pads in the morning, your SPF goes on last every single day without exception.
Can I use it on my body, underarms, inner thighs, knees?
