Pigmentation and dark spots are among the most frustrating skin concerns. The good news: they improve with the right ingredients and patience. Here's the complete guide.
What causes pigmentation?
Sun exposure, acne marks and hormonal changes are the main causes. Sun protection is the foundation of any treatment that works.
The best brightening ingredients
- Niacinamide and TXA: the Medicube TXA Niacinamide 15 serum.
- Vitamin C: the Medicube Deep Vita C cream.
- Azelaic acid: look for a serum that contains it.
How long do results take?
Usually 4 to 8 weeks with regular use — and a daily sunscreen is essential to stop spots coming back.
