The Products You Need to Address Dark Spots on Your Face

The appearance of uneven skin tone sometimes happens over time from too much sun exposure, hormonal changes, or acne scars. “Dark spots,” also known as hyper pigmentation, is a common skin issue that can appear on the face, hands, and shoulders. 

Dark Spot Cream

While the spots are typically a simple buildup of extra pigment, you’ll want to protect your skin from sunlight and diligently wear sunscreen that offers UVA/UVB protection. Stubborn dark spots often seem bound to appear at some point, even if you maintain a healthy skincare routine along the way.

While we can’t turn back the hands of time, modern women of all ages can achieve radiant, beautiful-looking skin with an effective, brightening skincare routine at home. When choosing products to address uneven skin tone and dark spots, be sure to look at a system that pairs advanced scientific research with the strength of botanical ingredients.

Here are examples of three types of brightening products you may want to seek out to help restore your complexion back to its glowy tone. Ideally you can find them all hydroquinone-free.

Exfoliating Solution

For a highly-effective exfoliating product, seek out a powerful solution that features a combination of dermatological acids. Lactic, glycolic, and salicylic acids are great examples of dermatological acids that can dissolve dead skin cells. It helps if the product also an enzyme like prickly pear flower extract to assist the acids.

The three alpha hydroxy acids work in tandem to give your skin a renewed, smoother look. Lactic acid works well on all skin types and is excellent at fading the appearance of dark spots. Glycolic acid works to exfoliate the skin gently and is great on normal and oily skin types. Salicylic acid loosens debris in the pores and is best for acne-prone skin and oily skin types.

Apply your solution in the morning and at night after cleansing and toning. If you have normal skin or tend to have oily skin, choose a toner for oily skin with soothing essential oils. Your skin will feel purified and invigorated and ready for the next step in your brightening routine.

Dark Spot Corrector

A concentrated dark spot corrector can target specific areas on your face. Apply to visible skin discolorations. A symbiotic mix of vitamin C and red algae is great to seek out as the two ingredients work together to fade discolorations and even out skin tone to reveal a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

Find an ultra-concentrated solution with a professional vitamin C complex. Red algae are packed with vitamin C, an essential antioxidant for balancing and brightening the appearance of skin tone. If you decide to use a dark spot corrector, apply after cleansing, toning, and using a daily exfoliating solution.

Brightening Moisturizer

Finish your skincare routine with a hydrating moisturizer. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins C, A, and E, as well as peptides and apple extract are a few skin-beneficial ingredients to keep an eye out for. Your brightening dark spot cream will help with the look of dull, uneven skin and help prevent new pigment from forming.

For the best results in reducing hyper pigmentation, be sure all of your skincare products are designed to work in conjunction, including your cleanser, toner, daily exfoliating solution, dark spot corrector, and moisturizer.
