[Dove](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-crme-serum-collection) True Tone is part of a new premium line of skincare products, aimed at helping to reduce dark underarm marks overnight. The packaging developed for Dove by [Casa Rex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pomellatos-collezione-1967) is extremely soft and subtle, seemingly to suggest the product's ability to make these marks shrink away.

On the products, there's not a dark mark in sight and the True Tone range celebrates both the classic Dove white, as well as a push forward as the brand continually innovates. Aside from the use of the iconic, opaque white, the clean True Tone bottles are accented with gold, which also hints that it is part of a premium product line.

True Tone is one of the three new collections from Dove that will be launched at [Selfridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-games-soulmate-collection) during the Beauty Project throughout the month of May.
