Made in NZ. EANZ Gold Supporter.
Three actives that work on pigmentation and post-blemish marks โ carried on a bio-identical tallow your skin absorbs, gentle enough for reactive skin.
Why this works where others irritate
Most dark-spot serums work by irritating your skin into turning over faster. Azelaic acid takes a gentler route โ it interrupts excess pigment at the surface. Paired with niacinamide (which limits pigment transfer) and licorice root, all carried on a tallow your skin recognises.
More even-looking tone, fading the look of dark spots and post-inflammatory marks.
"It's softened the look of the marks I had after summer โ without making my skin angry."

Pigment is a surface problem, not a turnover problem
Most dark-spot serums work by stripping the surface with strong acids so the pigment "turns over" faster. That works, but it also inflames the skin โ which can make pigmentation worse in the long run for many people.
Azelaic acid interrupts pigment without stripping
It's an inhibitor of the enzyme that produces excess pigment โ a different mechanism to AHAs. Gentle enough for reactive skin, twice-daily safe.
Niacinamide stops pigment surfacing where you can see it
It blocks the transfer of pigment from where it's made up to the visible layer of your skin โ addressing the look of marks at a third pathway.
Three pathways to more even-looking tone โ on a tallow your skin absorbs.
Aqua, Glycerin, Azelaic Acid, Niacinamide, Benzyl Alcohol (and) Dehydroacetic Acid, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 (and) t-Butyl Alcohol (and) Water, Panthenol, Tallow, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Parfum (Aloe & Cucumber LC), Asiaticoside (and) Madecassic Acid (and) Asiatic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Bisabolol, Tocopherol (and) Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Sodium Phytate (and) Aqua (and) Alcohol, Sodium Citrate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract.
As with any new skincare, patch test before full use.
After cleansing, apply 3โ4 drops to face and neck. Press gently into skin โ don't rub. Allow 30โ60 seconds to absorb, then follow with Reviana Day Cream (morning) or Night Cream (evening).
A 15ml bottle lasts approximately 2โ3 months with twice-daily use.
Processing: 1โ3 business days + 3โ5 business days NZ-wide.
Cost: $6.95, or free on orders over $75.
International: Available in NZ & Australia.
From the Founder
"The serum is where the real work happens. I wanted something lightweight that you'd barely feel, but that quietly transforms your skin over time."
Curtis Fairweather ยท Founder
We knew tallow alone wasn't enough for this. So we partnered with one of NZ's most awarded cosmetic formulators โ someone who's spent decades developing for some of the world's largest billion-dollar beauty brands โ then hired specialist in-house staff to manufacture every batch to the highest standard.
It's high-performance cosmetic skincare, built to a level the NZ tallow industry has never seen โ and it all starts with the ingredient your skin already trusts.

"The texture is super-smooth and light. With tallow's oils being so similar to our own skin, it feels like it enhances rather than changes it."
Most dark-spot serums rely on a single mechanism โ an exfoliating acid that strips the surface. This formula works on three independent pathways at once, so the actives complement each other and the formula stays gentle on the skin.
The bio-identical tallow helps each active absorb into the skin's surface more readily than a water-only serum. Lightweight enough to layer comfortably under both Day and Night Cream.
A gentle but effective acid that interrupts excess pigment at the surface โ supports more even-looking tone and the appearance of post-inflammatory marks, without the irritation risk of AHAs.
Limits pigment transfer to the visible layer of skin. Also helps support and condition the skin's moisture barrier and supports a calmer-looking complexion.
A natural brightening botanical that supports more even-looking tone โ a third complementary pathway alongside azelaic and niacinamide.
Low molecular weight HA that keeps skin hydrated and plump while the tone-evening actives do their work.
What published ingredient research suggests with twice-daily serum use โ and when.
Fast-absorbing formula delivers immediate surface hydration. Many people notice visible radiance from the first application as Hyaluronic Acid plumps the surface quickly.
Niacinamide begins working on the appearance of pores and surface texture. Azelaic Acid starts gently refining uneven surface areas for a more even-looking complexion.
Niacinamide and Licorice Root help skin look progressively more even in tone. Post-inflammatory marks, uneven patches and sun damage begin to look more even.
Studies on Centella Asiatica compounds suggest they can help skin look firm and plump. Fine lines appear softer and skin looks more elastic and resilient with continued use.
Individual results vary. Timeline based on published studies for each key active at relevant concentrations.
Dark spots, sun damage and post-blemish marks share one cause โ your skin overproducing pigment in patches that don't fade evenly. Most serums marketed for "even tone" rely on aggressive acids that strip the surface and trigger more inflammation, which often makes the underlying problem worse.
The Reviana Tallow Serum takes a different route. Azelaic acid interrupts the pigment pathway gently, without the surface irritation of glycolic or lactic acid. Niacinamide blocks pigment from transferring up to the surface, where you actually see it. Licorice root adds a third complementary pathway.
All three actives are carried on a bio-identical tallow โ a fat profile nearly identical to your skin's own โ so they absorb instead of sitting on top.
The result is a complexion-evening serum that's strong enough to work and gentle enough to use morning and night, even on reactive skin.
