Dark spots / Hyperpigmentation
Dark spots, pigmentation or hyperpigmentation appear when your skin produces more pigment (melanin) in one area. This often happens after a spot, because of the sun or due to hormonal changes. Dark spots usually fade slowly on their own, but with the right products and consistent sun protection your complexion looks more even sooner.
Products for dark spots and hyperpigmentation
Serum for hyperpigmentation
A targeted serum is the core of your routine. The Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum by Anua is one of our bestsellers for a more even complexion. The Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum by AXIS-Y is lighter and suitable if you are just starting out. Read more about how they work under tranexamic acid and niacinamide.
Pigmentation after spots
Red or brown marks left behind after a spot call for a gentle approach. The aPAD 20% Azeclair Serum by Geek & Gorgeous contains a derivative of azelaic acid and is also suitable for skin that still breaks out now and then. Don't squeeze spots, as it increases the chance of new marks.
No SPF, no results
Sunlight darkens existing spots and causes new ones. A daily sunscreen such as the Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50 by COSRX is therefore not an extra but a must. You will find more options under SPF. Give your routine at least eight weeks and consult a dermatologist if in doubt.
