Skin concerns

Pigmentation and dark spots

Dark spots appear when the skin makes melanin unevenly, most often after sun exposure, after inflammation or during a hormonal change. Care works in two directions at once: ingredients that act on the darkening, and sun protection every day, without which the result does not hold.

Where the spots come from

Melanin is the skin's own protection against ultraviolet light. When the cells that make it switch on in separate places, darker patches appear: sun spots on the cheekbones and forehead, marks left by acne or inflammation, melasma during a hormonal change or pregnancy. More on the mechanism in depigmentation and sun damage.

Different kinds of spot behave differently. Marks left by acne usually fade on their own, though on a darker phototype that takes longer; sun spots stay, and melasma is prone to returning with sun exposure, and with heat and visible light too. That is why daily sun protection is part of the care and not an extra on top of it.

How to put the routine together

Morning: cleanse, a vitamin C serum, a cream and factor 50 sun protection. Evening: cleanse, a product with niacinamide or with acids, then a cream. Introduce one active at a time and watch how the skin takes it.

A change in how the tone looks builds up gradually with regular use rather than in days; how quickly it shows depends on the kind of spot and how deep it sits. A new or changing mole or spot is not a cosmetic question and should be shown to a dermatologist. Melasma is diagnosed by a dermatologist too, and the care and the sun protection run alongside the treatment prescribed.

Frequently asked questions

Do creams lighten spots that are already there?

Skincare can make the tone look more even with regular use, but the result depends on the kind of spot and how deep it sits. Without daily sun protection the effect does not hold.

When do I see a result?

Gradually, and only with regular use; it depends on the kind of spot and how deep it sits. Melasma is more stubborn and is prone to returning with sun, so with it protection is a year-round habit.

Can I use vitamin C and acids together?

Better at different times: vitamin C in the morning, acids in the evening. Together they can irritate the skin, especially if it is sensitive.
