Hyperpigmentation covers dark spots, post-blemish marks and uneven tone caused by excess melanin, often triggered by sun exposure or past breakouts. Fading the look of it takes two things: brightening actives and, above all, daily sunscreen, without which spots simply return. Vitamin C is a proven brightener: SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is the gold-standard antioxidant serum for overall radiance and defence, while The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% offers a gentler vitamin C derivative on a budget. For targeted spots, Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution focuses on visible discolouration, and Anua Niacinamide 10 + TXA 4 Serum pairs niacinamide with tranexamic acid to help even the look of tone. Give any brightening routine eight to twelve weeks, and reapply sunscreen through the day for results to show.
