Skincare Routine for Dark Spots

Get a personalized routine to fade dark spots and post-acne marks.

Dark spots — whether from acne scars, sun exposure, or hormonal changes — are localized areas of excess melanin. Unlike overall hyperpigmentation, dark spots are often individual marks that stand out against your natural skin tone. The good news is that most dark spots are in the upper layers of skin and respond well to topical treatment. The strategy is straightforward: exfoliate to remove pigmented cells, use brightening actives to slow melanin production, and wear SPF religiously to stop UV from darkening them further.
