Product overview
Fade Out Original Whitening Moisturiser with Niacinamide (50ml) is a daily brightening face moisturiser from Fade Out, formulated around Niacinamide and Lactic Acid.
Naming note: Fade Out's UK/global official site names this identical product "Original Brightening Moisturiser" (without "whitening" wording), while South Asian distribution sells the same formula as "Original Whitening Moisturiser" -- the ingredient list is confirmed identical across both names, so this is a regional naming/marketing variant, not a different formula. Claims note: the brand's own positioning frames this product around reducing the appearance of dark spots and achieving a more even skin tone, rather than a literal skin-lightening effect.
