HEDO EXTRA STRENGTH FADING KIT

8% Alpha Arbutin | 4% Kojic Acid | Tranexamic Acid (TXA) | Vitamin C | Tetrahydrocurcumin | Mandelic Acid | Phytic Acid

Advanced Fresh-Mix Multi-Pathway Brightening Technology

Concentrated Brightening Powder + TXA Solution + Treatment Pads

HEDO Extra Strength Fading Kit is an advanced hydroquinone-free brightening treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn dark spots, sun-induced discoloration, post-blemish marks and uneven skin tone.

At the center of the formula are 8% Alpha Arbutin and 4% Kojic Acid, combined with Vitamin C, Tetrahydrocurcumin, Ferulic Acid, Methyl Gentisate, Octyl Gentisate and complementary brightening ingredients.

The solution features Mandelic Acid, Malic Acid, Phytic Acid, Dimethyl Isosorbide (DMI), Phospholipids and specialized cosmetic peptides.

Now enhanced with Tranexamic Acid (TXA) in the solution, HEDO adds an additional pigment-focused pathway to its established brightening system.

The original concentrated powder remains unchanged.

The fresh-mix system allows customers to combine the powder and solution before saturating the treatment pads.

8% ALPHA ARBUTIN | 4% KOJIC ACID | TRANEXAMIC ACID | VITAMIN C | TETRAHYDROCURCUMIN | MANDELIC ACID | PHYTIC ACID

HERE'S THE SCIENCE.

8% ALPHA ARBUTIN

Advanced Tyrosinase-Focused Brightening Technology

At 8%, Alpha Arbutin is one of the principal brightening ingredients in the Extra Strength Fading Kit.

Alpha Arbutin is used in cosmetic formulations to help improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation by influencing tyrosinase activity, an important enzyme involved in melanin production.

Its role is to support a brighter, more uniform-looking complexion and reduce the visible appearance of dark spots.

8% Alpha Arbutin. Concentrated pigment-focused technology.

4% KOJIC ACID

Advanced Melanin-Pathway Brightening

The formula contains 4% Kojic Acid, a cosmetic ingredient known for its ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity.

Kojic Acid complements Alpha Arbutin by providing another approach to the appearance of excess pigmentation.

Together, these ingredients form the foundation of HEDO's concentrated brightening powder.

4% Kojic Acid. Complementary targeted brightening.

TRANEXAMIC ACID (TXA)

Advanced Pigmentation-Signaling Technology

Tranexamic Acid is the newest addition to HEDO Extra Strength Fading Kit's brightening solution.

TXA has been studied for its ability to influence pigmentation-related signaling pathways, including the plasminogen/plasmin system associated with UV-induced pigmentation.

This provides a complementary approach to the tyrosinase-focused activity of Alpha Arbutin and Kojic Acid.

TXA helps support the appearance of:

MORE EVEN-LOOKING SKIN TONE

REDUCED VISIBLE DISCOLORATION

BRIGHTER-LOOKING SKIN

IMPROVED COMPLEXION UNIFORMITY

8% Alpha Arbutin + 4% Kojic Acid + TXA. Three complementary brightening approaches.

VITAMIN C COMPLEX

Ascorbic Acid + Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

The concentrated powder contains two forms of Vitamin C.

ASCORBIC ACID

Provides antioxidant support and is used in skincare formulations designed to improve the appearance of dullness and uneven tone.

SODIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE

A Vitamin C derivative that provides complementary antioxidant and skin-conditioning support.

Together, these ingredients enhance the formula's antioxidant-focused approach to visible discoloration.

TETRAHYDROCURCUMIN

Advanced Turmeric-Derived Antioxidant Technology

Tetrahydrocurcumin, listed as Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane, is a curcumin-derived ingredient used in advanced cosmetic brightening formulations.

It provides antioxidant activity and has been investigated for its influence on pathways associated with pigmentation.

Within HEDO Extra Strength Fading Kit, Tetrahydrocurcumin complements Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid, TXA and Vitamin C.

METHYL GENTISATE + OCTYL GENTISATE

Complementary Brightening Ingredients

METHYL GENTISATE

Included in the concentrated powder as part of the established multi-ingredient brightening system.

OCTYL GENTISATE

Complements the formula's pigment-focused ingredient combination.

These ingredients are retained from HEDO's original powder formulation.

FERULIC ACID

Polyphenol Antioxidant Support

Ferulic Acid is a plant-associated antioxidant used in advanced skincare formulations to help defend against oxidative stress.

It complements the Vitamin C system and Tetrahydrocurcumin to support healthier-looking, more radiant skin.

CAFFEINE

Antioxidant + Skin-Conditioning Support

Caffeine provides antioxidant and skin-conditioning benefits within the concentrated powder.

It complements the formula's broader approach to maintaining a refreshed, healthier-looking complexion.

MANDELIC ACID

Alpha Hydroxy Acid Resurfacing Technology

Mandelic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid used to exfoliate accumulated surface cells and improve the appearance of uneven texture and dullness.

Its relatively large molecular structure distinguishes it from smaller AHAs.

Within the Extra Strength Fading Kit, Mandelic Acid supports a smoother-looking skin surface and complements the pigment-focused ingredients.

MALIC ACID

Complementary AHA Skin Refinement

Malic Acid contributes to the solution's multi-acid system.

It provides additional formulation support for improving the appearance of dullness and uneven surface texture.

PHYTIC ACID

Antioxidant + Brightening Support

Phytic Acid is known for its chelating and antioxidant properties.

It complements Mandelic Acid, Malic Acid and the concentrated brightening ingredients to support a more radiant-looking complexion.

DIMETHYL ISOSORBIDE (DMI)

Advanced Solvent + Formulation Technology

Dimethyl Isosorbide is a specialized solvent used to help incorporate selected cosmetic ingredients into topical formulations.

It contributes to the solution's delivery-supporting vehicle.

DMI works alongside the formula's other solvents and supporting ingredients to maintain the multi-active treatment system.

PHOSPHOLIPIDS

Lipid-Based Formulation Support

Phospholipids are incorporated into the solution as part of the formula's supporting system.

They can contribute to ingredient dispersion and formulation performance, depending on the finished product's structure.

ADVANCED COSMETIC PEPTIDES

Myristoyl Hexapeptide-5 + Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17

The solution contains two specialized cosmetic peptides.

MYRISTOYL HEXAPEPTIDE-5

Provides cosmetic skin-conditioning support.

MYRISTOYL PENTAPEPTIDE-17

Complements the formulation's peptide-conditioning system.

Together, these ingredients support the broader multi-active formula.

THE HEDO FRESH-MIX SYSTEM

Concentrated Brightening Powder + TXA Solution

HEDO Extra Strength Fading Kit features a two-part preparation system.

CONCENTRATED BRIGHTENING POWDER

Contains 8% Alpha Arbutin, 4% Kojic Acid, Vitamin C ingredients, Tetrahydrocurcumin, Ferulic Acid, Caffeine, Gentisate ingredients and supporting powder components.

TXA BRIGHTENING SOLUTION

Contains Tranexamic Acid alongside the established multi-acid and formulation-supporting system.

The powder is mixed into the solution before saturating the dry treatment pads.

Original concentrated powder. Now paired with a TXA-enhanced solution.

THE HEDO MULTI-PATHWAY FADING SYSTEM

BRIGHTEN + EVEN + REFINE + DEFEND + CONDITION

8% Alpha Arbutin and 4% Kojic Acid provide concentrated pigment-focused cosmetic support.

Tranexamic Acid adds a complementary pigmentation-signaling pathway.

Mandelic Acid and Malic Acid support surface exfoliation and visible texture improvement.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

Customer video review of Extra Strength Fading Kit

I’m 53 years old and have suffered with melasma for a very long time. I’ve tried so many different products but none have worked as well as the hedo fading kit! I’m not wearing any foundation in this video so you can see how well is working. I’m ordering my third refill. My best advice is to stay consistent and be patient!

Extra Strength Fading Kit

Customer photo review of Extra Strength Fading Kit

The fading kit is amazing! My before and after pics prove it! Acne scars almost gone and my big sunspot has faded so much. This was after just a couple weeks.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

if I could give 100 stars. the pads have really helped with my dark spots. love love. everything HEDO. Thank you Christy.❤

Extra Strength Fading Kit

This is the only product along with the rest of the kit that basically unclog my pores and reduces my acne marks. Its always a struggle to find balance and keep your skin from freaking out. Hedo does it well. These pads are not harsh, but they are strong. I started out at night only and now use them day and night with the ocasional day off. One of my acne scars actually keloid and this has flattened it by 90%. So many benefits, I think this might be a pad I leave as a permanent staple in my routine. Its not that other products don't work, for example skinbetter science, they work very good and fast, but my skin gets congested for some reason and I develop blackheads, which I then have to extract, therefore causing the skin injury and then back to scar. This kit actually clears my skin, and I can see the blackheads basically dry out and dissappear. And if I do have a small hormonal pimple, this kit shrinks it and sometimes makes it disappear over night. Love it!!

Extra Strength Fading Kit

This fading kit is one of my staples I use every day. Its helping diminish my dark spots . I love the high effective ingredients from Hedo.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

I've been using the 3-piece fading kit, and I'm really happy with the results! This is the first product I've used (and I've tried many) that has worked to fade my melasma. I have sensitive skin and contact dermatitis, but this hasn't bothered me at all!

Extra Strength Fading Kit

I was hesitant to try this fading kit, but I’m so glad I did. I’ve already noticed some lightening of my melasma and plan to continue using it. I’m especially happy to be off hydroquinone.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

I have been using a month. The results are there. Will repurchase.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

I truly saw a brightening of my skin regarding sun spots. Still working on it. It been about a month so far.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

I’ve been using the kit for a year now, and I’m seriously impressed. My hyperpigmentation is fading, my skin tone looks way more even, and my face just looks brighter overall. It’s labeled “extra strength,” but it hasn’t irritated my skin at all. The kit comes with everything you need, which I love because I didn’t have to guess what to pair it with. Super easy to use—just follow the steps and be consistent. Oh, and don’t skip sunscreen while using it. Use Hedo SPF mist spray. Trust me. Long story short: if you’re tired of dark spots that won’t budge, give this a try. It’s become a staple in my skincare routine.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

This is my 3rd order of this kit. I absolutely LOVE this formulation for my dark spots. Its a daily must in my routine. I love the HEDO Skincare line soo much!

Extra Strength Fading Kit

I managed to do summer on the coast of south africa and still use same make up shades. I was super careful with sunscreen and avoid sun exposure, particularly during high UV index times. And i had my hedo fading kit twice a day! Thank you.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

Love Hedo! Anything I’ve used from Hedo is fantastic. The exfoliating pads, the sunscreen !

Extra Strength Fading Kit

I’m really impressed! These pads are incredibly effective! They’re gentle yet powerful, and I noticed visible improvement after three weeks. I use them morning and night. My skin feels smoother, and the dark spots on my face have lightened. I also appreciate that they don’t cause irritation. Overall, I’m very happy with the results and will definitely continue using them! Highly recommend for anyone looking to brighten their complexion and fade hyperpigmentation. Love it!

Extra Strength Fading Kit

Part of my pigmentation management regime. I cant live without it

Extra Strength Fading Kit

A definite if you have hyperpigmentation. I've been using it weekly along with other HEDO products and do see some fading occurring. I'm not done with them yet, but am sure I'll have better results when I'm done. A definite repurchase.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

I love this formula so far. I use it on my face, neck, chest and back of hands. So versatile!

Extra Strength Fading Kit

My favorite brightening product ! I’m on my second refill . Love that there is a eco friendly refill of solution & pads .

Extra Strength Fading Kit

This stuff does not work. In fact, it has made one of my brown spots darker. I use it morning and night and there is NO difference in my sun spots. Wasted my money on this. I believed the hype and reviews but my recommendations is don’t waste your money. Find something that truly works.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

Store owner replied: This review is up as it is the law and with the guidelines that it must be. And I emailed to say no problem we are 100% guaranteed and I will refund you and you can return the product W Loox it is to post with in 14 days of the review but because it wasn't immediately posted you sent two more 1 star reviews and saying things that are not true w reviews. which I will copy and paste here so all can see what you felt you needed to say not once but 3 times for 1 product. C Spark Display name: C S. I wrote a negative review and they refuse to post it. Don’t believe the hype. This kit doesn’t work. It makes sun spots worse. They hid all the negative reviews Cynthia Sparks Display name: Cynthia S. This stuff does not work. In fact, it has made one of my brown spots darker. I use it morning and night and there is NO difference in my sun spots. Wasted my money on this. I believed the hype and reviews but my recommendations is don’t waste your money. Find something that truly works. Cynthia Sparks Display name: Cynthia S. Did absolutely NOTHING. In fact, it made one of my brown spots darker. Don’t believe the hype. What a waste of my money. NOW a bit about science and this product When using a product with ingredients like Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid, and Ascorbic Acid, dark spots can initially appear darker before lightening due to the exfoliation and skin renewal process. Which is a 28 day cycle and product was only purchased a little over 2 weeks from review Here was my initial email after your first review: Hi Cynthia I just received your review My apologies for your experience The fading pads can take time and consistency With that you will never waste your  money w my company because I am 💯 % Guaranteed So I am more than happy to refund you if you have any product left you can send back w a return label I will send to your email This isn’t hype the fading pads have no HQ that can disrupt your hormones so as stated it takes time and consistency This is my first 1 star so I will take the hit but you will receive your refund Ty Christy as stated I wrote that I will take the hit for the 1 star but you will receive your refund. HEDO has integrity and the only thing we want is our customers to be completely happy with our products or your money back w our guarantee. Three 1 stars on the same product will change my rating for our Fading Kit but there is always a first. Best, Christy

I love knowing it's 'fresh' because I am mixing the ingredients. It's something I use morning and night and am loving how bright my skin is becoming after only less than a month of using .

Extra Strength Fading Kit

The Extra Strength Fading Kit and the Radiance Tone Corrector are the best products I’ve ever used! I’ve been a “skincare junkie” for 35 years and have never had a product work like this! Although my dark spots are no longer visible, I will continue to use these products as maintenance and I also love how my skin looks all day when I’ve used the Fading Kit. I can’t say enough about this product and this AMAZING company.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

Love this product! Will always have in my skincare routine!

Extra Strength Fading Kit

This has helped with my dark spots from sun damage. They have faded so much. I accomplished the his by using the Extra Strength Fading Kit twice a day and the the low oh. vitamin c with glutathione. At the age of 63, I have tried so many products for dark spots. I had almost given up! Hedo products work. Get advice from Christy Buss, owner. She will tell you specifically which products you need. and how to introduce them into your current routine. Dee

Extra Strength Fading Kit

Excellent. It is still early but I’ve been using it daily and am very happy.

Extra Strength Fading Kit

WOW! Just WOW!!!! What an awesome product!!! My skin is so bright!!! Thank you HEDO!!

Extra Strength Fading Kit

I love this product using every morning with my other Hedo products

Extra Strength Fading Kit

I really like the skin brightening pads as I can already see some brightness after just a few weeks. Very easy instructions from Christy on how to mix and prepare pads. They have the perfect amount of moisture to the pads for whole face and neck. Leaves a clean feeling even with all the brightening ingredients. Excited to continue using daily to work on my stubborn sun spots. Highly recommend.
