I had mild pigmentation around my cheeks and forehead. Using alum regularly has made a visible difference. It takes time, but the results are real. I love that it’s chemical-free.

A perfect balance of ancient purity and modern freshness. The natural alum crystal gives me all-day odor protection without chemicals — a true luxury for my skin!
Swati
My father always used alum after shaving, so I tried it again for my dark spots. Within a few weeks, my skin tone evened out, and I hardly get razor bumps now. Simple, natural, and effective.

I don’t like using fancy creams. Alum with rose water has been my go-to for pigmentation and acne marks. It’s natural and feels refreshing after a long day.
