Local Treatment

Focus your efforts

Topical facial treatments aimed at helping hyperpigmentation usually contain active ingredients such as hydroquinone, kojic acid, vitamin C or retinoids. These ingredients work by either inhibiting melanin production, promoting cell cycle, or fading existing pigmentation. By regularly applying these treatments to the affected areas, it can help reduce dark spots, even out skin tone and improve the overall appearance of the skin. Consistency and patience are key when using topical treatments for hyperpigmentation, as it can take several weeks to see noticeable results. Additionally, it is important to use sunscreen daily to prevent further dark spots and protect against sun damage.
