“Vitamin C has always been an essential part of my routine but when it comes to tackling hyperpigmentation, its approach can be limited. As a woman of colour, I was looking for a faster, more effective solution for the stubborn pigmentation that affected my skin.”
“What I realised over time is that fading hyperpigmentation alone isn’t always enough; how the skin regenerates plays just as critical a role in how quickly and effectively you see visible results.”
“Triphala Pigmentation Corrector works across multiple pathways to target discolouration, while Ursolic Acid & Retinal Overnight Reform supports the skin’s natural renewal process overnight, helping to improve firmness, smooth fine lines and restore a more plump-looking complexion.”
“Used together, they create a more complete approach helping to visibly improve tone, firmness and overall skin quality over time.”- Farah

The Technology
The Technology
Triphala Pigmentation Corrector employs a multi-targeted approach to pigment regulation: by combining a proprietary Ayurvedic superfruit blend with microalgae actives and peptides, it works across the full pigmentation pathway. This broad-spectrum mechanism addresses multiple causes of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, which is particularly useful for persistent or multifactorial pigment issues.
Ursolic Acid & Retinal Overnight Reform uses a powerful Vitamin A derivative with one step conversion to Retinoic Acid. It works in a stabilised encapsulation system to boost collagen and reverse signs of ageing while minimising the risk of irritation.
I am blown away, I will never live without this. It is absolutely incredible, my hyperpigmentation has faded such an incredible amount in such a short time and my skin tone is so even.

What I love is that it's a very well-rounded pigmentation treatment. This is the most effective at treating PIE quickly but it also targets the brown spots and the olive tones that are deeper than the rest of your skin tone, as well the overall patchiness that develops even around the mouth and cheek area.

"I particularly like the retinal by Sachi Skin which I had the opportunity of using before its recent launch. It combines ursolic acid, bakuchiol and glutathione which are very effective for anti ageing & dark spots."
Dr Adeline Kikam, Dermatologist
@brownskinderm
Triphala Pigmentation Corrector seriously faded the marks on my cheeks, chin, and forehead. The formulation has no AHA, BHA, retinoid, or hydroquinone systems. 12 brighteners, peptides, antioxidants, and reparatives make this worth every bit of the value. I would 100% recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Addressing hyperpigmentation requires a multi-step routine with brightening ingredients in each step, to deliver the most transformative results. We recommend to pair the Triphala Pigmentation Corrector with either the Complexion Clarifying Accelerator or Ursolic Acid & Retinal Overnight Reform, to enhance Triphala’s performance and increase the rate at which your hyperpigmentation, discoloration, and dark spots fade.
Both kits will help towards your goal for brighter, clearer, and healthier looking skin.
The You Set the Tone Duo will be geared more towards those focusing on texture, post-blemish scarring, skin roughness, and clarity concerns (such as blemishes and hyperpigmentation) for smoother, brighter, more bouncy skin.
The You Set the Tone Duo II will be for those who are more concerned about well ageing, firmness, sun damage, or generally prefer a retinoid approach over acids.
Your choice will depend on your personal approach towards healthier looking skin.
Always include one product at a time in your routine. Start with the Triphala Pigmentation Corrector, once your skin is acclimated to this, you can then look to introduce the Ursolic Acid & Retinal Overnight Reform into your PM routine.
When incorporating the Ursolic Acid & Retinal Overnight Reform into your routine, use only once a week, applying a very thin layer and gradually increasing frequency to 1-2 times a week OR up to 3-4 times a week depending on your skin tolerance. The Overnight Reform is a powerful multitasking Retinoid working to brighten, repair, and regenerate without the usual irritation.
