How do I incorporate Dalí into my skincare routine?
Use Dalí as part of your PM skincare routine: cleanser > Dalí > moisturiser, such as Arō. Start by using it 2–3 nights a week and build from there.
Is this a cream or serum?
Dalí is a unique serum-cream hybrid, so it can be used according to your skin type. If you have dry skin, layer Dalí with a moisturiser. If you have normal-to-oily skin, you can use Dalí on its own as a two-in-one step without layering moisturiser on top.
How long does it take to see results?
For acne marks, customers can start seeing a difference by the second week. For uneven skin tone and recent melasma, users can start seeing a difference within a month of consistent use. Deep-rooted melasma that has been present for years or decades may require at least 2–3 months of committed use for a visible difference.
Can the product be mixed with other serums?
When starting any new product, we suggest avoiding too many layered serums or actives. For the first few nights, use cleanser > Dalí > moisturiser. You can layer Dalí with other products once your skin is settled. We recommend not mixing retinol-based products with Dalí, as the combination may be too potent for the skin.
Will it cause any reactions?
Dalí is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, so it should not clog pores or cause irritation or acne. However, allergens vary by individual. If you have reactive skin, we recommend patch-testing before applying it all over your face.
Do you guarantee that my spots will go away?
We launched Dalí after two years of intensive research and sampling. It is potent yet gentle and made to visibly deliver results with consistent use. However, every skin is different, so we cannot guarantee results within a specific timeframe. Consistent use should deliver visible results over time.
Is this safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Our products are dermatologically tested, in-vivo tested, and were trialled for over two years before launch. They are also fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, making them suitable for sensitive skin.
How do I use the pump?
Press the pump down gently and use 1–2 pumps for the full face. You can use less than one full pump if you only intend to spot-treat marks. The first use may take 5–10 pumps before product starts dispensing. This is normal. Do not force open the main cap, as this can cause contamination or spillage.
I cannot see how much product I have left.
We made the bottle double-walled and airless to avoid contamination and keep the formulation potent from the first pump to the last. Unfortunately, this means the bottle cannot be see-through. Dalí typically lasts 3–4 months with the suggested use.
Can men use this product?
Yes, absolutely. Men love using Dalí, especially on post-acne marks. All Anoū products are gender-neutral. Have skin > use Anoū skincare :)
Does this help with acne?
Yes. Dalí contains 1% salicylic acid, which can help reduce and prevent future acne. It is primarily a pigmentation solution packed with potent anti-pigmentation ingredients and can effectively reduce post-acne marks.
Is this product pregnancy-safe?
While there are no serious indications against the product during pregnancy, Dalí contains 2% tranexamic acid, which may not be recommended case by case. We recommend checking with your doctor before using this or any other hyperpigmentation cream.
Can I use this product during the daytime?
We recommend using Dalí only as part of your nighttime routine. It is potent and contains active ingredients that can make some skin photosensitive. As a precaution against irritation, use Dalí at night and sunscreen the next morning.
What causes dark spots and uneven pigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation, including melasma, sun damage, and post-inflammatory marks, typically occurs due to UV exposure, hormonal shifts, or inflammation. Consistent use of targeted treatments can help brighten these areas and restore a more balanced tone.
Can I use pigmentation creams if I have never used active ingredients before?
Absolutely. Start slowly, perhaps 2–3 evenings a week, before gradually increasing frequency. Choosing a gentle yet high-performance formula helps your skin adjust comfortably.
