All of the sensitive skin mamis across the land know that hydro-cortisone or some form of skin soothing salve is absolutely necessary. When your eczema flairs up, you don’t want to be caught out here without a cortisone or some type of soothing cream, because the way that itch hits is not cute.
Let’s not even go into how unsightly rashes and dark spots from scratching appear after your blemishes have “healed”. It’s just not the vibe anyone is ever going for.
After a particularly hellish summer in regards to allergies, eczema and bug bites (oh hey, 2020), I was in search of a way to get rid of dark spots without using with harmful chemicals.

I’m pretty sure this thought only popped up in my head but we all know how creepy google gets and my very next Instagram scroll produced an ad for ‘Topicals’. Now, I’m a sucker for good branding and couldn’t help but click on the ad that enticed me with it’s bright colors and in-depth caption about what causes post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation & how it affects melanin particularly. What???
Then the phrase “POC” flashed briefly before my eyes and well, say no more.
They had everything you could need — something for the dryness and another treatment for the dark spots so the coins were thrown at them immediately.
“Like Butter” is a hydrating mask that takes care of that embarrassing dryness and comes complete with Ginseng, Green Tea, Rhubarb, Turmeric and Madecassoside.
“Faded” does what it says it will and fades dark spots and discoloration without lightning the skin.
