What helps with pigment spots and uneven tone?
Pigment spots usually appear where the skin produces more melanin â often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal influences or past irritation. Whether you are dealing with individual dark marks, broader hyperpigmentation or melasma-like discolouration, a more balanced-looking complexion rarely develops overnight; it builds over weeks of consistent care. Brightening actives such as vitamin C, niacinamide and gentle acids support a more even tone, while daily sun protection helps stop new discolouration from overshadowing your progress.
How to build your routine
In the morning, use a brightening serum â for example one with vitamin C â and always finish with sun protection. Gentle exfoliants from the AHA & Fruit Acids category can support cell turnover and should be used deliberately rather than daily. Introduce new active products one at a time and slowly so the skin does not become irritated â irritation can otherwise make pigment spots more pronounced.
