FAQs
What is the best serum for hyperpigmentation?
The best serum for hyperpigmentation depends on the cause and depth of your discolouration. Look for targeted ingredients such as tranexamic acid, kojic acid and vitamin C rather than relying on general brightening claims alone.
How long does a hyperpigmentation serum take to work?
Some people notice improved brightness within several weeks. More stubborn pigmentation can take longer and usually requires consistent treatment alongside daily SPF.
Can a serum for hyperpigmentation help with post-acne dark spots?
Yes. Targeted pigment serums can help improve post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left behind after blemishes, particularly when combined with consistent sun protection.
Can I use a hyperpigmentation serum for melasma?
Some ingredients used in pigment serums can form part of a melasma treatment routine. Because melasma can have hormonal and environmental triggers, professional guidance can help determine the most appropriate approach.
Can I use Vitamin C with a dark spot corrector?
Often, yes. Vitamin C can complement targeted pigment ingredients by providing antioxidant protection and supporting a brighter, more even complexion.
Why is SPF important when treating hyperpigmentation?
UV exposure can stimulate melanin production and darken existing pigmentation. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ helps protect your progress and reduce further discolouration.
