HYPERPIGMENTATION:
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Struggling with hyperpigmentation? From understanding why acne can lead to post-inflammatory dark spots, to whether exfoliating is a help or hindrance —get the expert answers you need to brighten your skin and regain your confidence.
Hyperpigmentation doesn’t always manifest as dark spots. It can appear as different tones depending on the type of melanin produced by melanocytes. For example, Eumelanin produces brown and black toned patches on the skin, whereas Pheomelanin produces red and yellow toned ones.
CAN PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN TREAT HYPERPIGMENTATION?
Absolutely. Use gentle products containing Vitamin C derivatives, low-strength retinol, and calming actives including niacinamide or aloe vera to treat hyperpigmentation without irritating the skin.
IS HYPERPIGMENTATION PERMANENT?
No, it is possible to fade hyperpigmentation with the right treatments, ingredients, and consistent use of a high factor, broad spectrum SPF.
WHY DOES ACNE CAUSE HYPERPIGMENTATION?
After acne heals, it can leave dark spots behind as a result of the excess melanin produced due to the skin’s healing process. This is a form of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
